A population of tree frogs lives in a forest. A river runs through the middle of the forest. A particularly snowy winter is foll

owed by an unusually rainy spring. The rain and melting snow cause the river to overflow its banks, flooding half the forest. The pattern of precipitation continues over the next 10 years, keeping the same half of the forest flooded. Discuss the effect the flooding might have on the population of tree frogs that inhabits the flooded areas versus those that inhabit the area of the forest that is not flooded

The flooding of half part of the forest have successful separate the population of frogs in that ecosystem into two different set of frogs. This is an example of allopatric speciation, that is, the population become separated as a result of geographical barrier. This separation will make the two set of frog population to become new species. On the long run, the two species may become unable to relate sexually.

Compare the rates of cell division occurring in your neurons and your hair follicles.
Firlakuza [10]

Once you finish growing to adulthood, neurons stop dividing. Hair follicle cells constantly divide throughout your lifetime since they are constantly producing cells that become part of the hair itself as they die. So in an adult, the rate of cell division for neurons is zero (although there is some counter-evidence but it is certainly very low) while the hair follicle rate is much higher on the order of once every few days or faster.

Part 1:

A solution that causes a cell to swell is a hypotonic solution.

In an isotonic solution, there is no change in the size of the cell.

All three cause osmosis.

A solution that causes a cell to shrink is a hypertonic solution.

Part 2:

1. H. Energy

2.D. Endocytosis

3.G. Diffusion

4.B. Exocytosis

5.E. Facilitated Diffusion

6.A. Osmosis

7.C. Active Transport

8.F. Passive Transport

Sorry. I don't know how to explain part 3 ,but I tried and failed so I deleted it. Part 1 and 2 are correct though.
