How might an increasing population of robins positively and negatively affect a community?

Oliga [24]

All populations of living things are interrelated. When one population of animals, plants, or insects increase or decrease, other populations of living things are also affected. For example, when shrubs and brushy areas are removed from an ecosystem, the rabbit population will likely go down. The reduced rabbit population will lower predator populations that use rabbits as a food source.

In another example, let's assume all the dead hollow trees are removed from a forest ecosystem. Cavity nesting animals such as bluebirds, nuthatch, wrens, screech owls, squirrels and woodpeckers have very little, if any, shelter available. The number of animals of this type would be reduced. Insect populations could increase because of fewer insect eating birds and trees and other plants could be negatively affected. The whole ecosystem is affected.

The amount of suitable habitat for a species of wildlife will determine the number of animals that can survive in the area. Human activity has the greatest impact on the amount and quality of wildlife habitat in Illinois. Wildlife habitat can be destroyed or its quality diminished as a result of urban sprawl, agricultural practices, pollution, sedimentation, or habitat fragmentation.

People can also have a positive impact on wildlife populations through improvement and protection of habitat or ecosystems. The planting of trees and shrubs, as well as wildlife food plots, in the appropriate locations is one way landowners can improve wildlife habitat. People can protect ponds, streams, rivers and wetlands from sedimentation by reducing soil erosion on lands surrounding these aquatic ecosystems. Nesting boxes placed in ecosystems that lack dead, hollow trees will enhance the habitat for cavity nesting animals. There are many things people can do to improve habitat for wildlife.

There are a number of natural resource management agencies in Illinois that can help people enhance and protect wildlife habitat. Listed below are a few of the public agencies which can provide ecosystem management expertise to people in Illinois.

β‑Galactosidase (β‑gal) is a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β‑galactosides into monosaccharides. A 0.387 g sa

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=icRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 0.602 mbar = 0.000602 bar

0.000602 bar = 0.000594 atm

(1 atm = 1.01325 bar)

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

c = concentration of solute = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0820\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $25^oC=[273.15 +25]=298.15 K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.000594 atm=1\times c\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298.15 K\\\\c=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

The concentration of solute is $2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L$

Volume of the solution = V =0.137 L

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = n

$C=\frac{n}{V(L)}$

$n=2.4278\times 10^{-5} mol/L\times 0.137 L$

$n=3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Moles of β‑Galactosidase = $3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol$

Given mass of β‑Galactosidase= 0.387 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.3261\times 10^{-6} mol =\frac{0.387 g}{\text{Molar mass of solute}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of solute}=116,352.97 g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of unknown β‑Galactosidaseis 116,352.97 g/mol.

When is the magnetic field the strongest?

Vadim26 [7]

The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.

You can purchase nitric acid in a concentrated form that is 70.3% HNO3 by mass and has a density of 1.41 g/mL. Describe exactly

Andrej [43]

The way to working out the numbers is to increase the measure of HNO3 required by the molarity to discover what number of moles you require: 0.115. You ought to have the capacity to make sense of the recipe weight H is 1, N is 14, O is 16. The result of the quantity of moles duplicated by the recipe weight ought to give an esteem in grams. You can utilize the thickness to change over to a volume of HNO3 to add to the right volume of water.
