Answer:

D.dragonfly larvae

Explanation:

For example ;

This is a simple food chain;

algae ⇒ mosquito larvae ⇒dragon fly larvae ⇒perch

Algae are the producers in the food chain above.

Mosquito larvae are the primary consumer in the above food chain.

Dragonfly larvae is the secondary consumer in the food chain which feed on the primary consumer.

The final level is perch, which is a carnivore .

A group of long-billed prairie birds migrates from a pristine, protected prairie to a nearby, newly restored prairie. They colon
spayn [35]

Answer:

While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized

Explanation:

Options  are given:

The two populations of the long-billed prairie-birds had different fundamental niches, but the same realized niche

The original population of long-billed prairie-birds had higher levels of competition for food resources and in order to find enough food had a more varied diet. Those in the newly colonized area faced less competition and adapted to a smaller range of food types.

While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized

The long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche shifted as a result of competition with other species such that individuals in the newly colonized prairie foraged on a smaller variety of food types

Since in the question it is mentioned that scientists compare the populations with respect to the two bird and determined for the long billed prairie birds and the available of food is same in the two areas

This above situation represents the competitive exclusion concept. The species should be entered into the competitor in the case when there is a large number and the feeding should be started for survival

Iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen to form iron oxide or ferric oxide. Look at the chemical equation for this reaction: Fe + O2
Ber [7]

ANSWER

The correct answer is A

<u>EXPLANATION</u>

From the equation Fe + O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2O_3


<u>L.H.S.</u>               


Fe = 1                        

O  =2      

                 

<u> R.H.S</u>

Fe =2


O  =3

Now, let try to balance the oxygen atoms first,

To do this, we know the Least Common Multiples of 2 and 3 is 6


To get 6 atoms of oxygen at L.H.S  multiply 2 by 3 and on the R.H.S, multiply 3 by 2



L.H.S.                        

O=2\times3=6      


R.H.S

O=3\times2=6  


This means that, 3 should be in front of O_2 at the L.H.S and 2 should come before Fe_2O_3 in the R.H.S of the equation


Now, we have


L.H.S.                        


Fe = 1                          

O  =  6                        

<u>R.H.S</u>

Fe =4

O  =6

The equation is still not balanced since Fe is not balance

 

The Least Common Multiple of  1 and 4 is 4

Which means that we need to multiply 1 by 4 at the L.H.S and 4 by 1 at the R.H.S



L.H.S.                        

Fe=1\times4=4      


R.H.S

Fe=4\times1=4  


We now, have



<u>L.H.S.   </u>                    

Fe= 4                          

O=6                        


<u>R.H.S</u>

Fe =4

O=6

Hence the balanced equation is

4Fe +3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

What's a major assumption when drawing evolutionary relationships between organisms?
Xelga [282]

Based on DNA sequences, it is believed that changes in nucleotide sequence between two species are equivalent to the time that has elapsed since the two species diverged from their common ancestor. Gene sequencing is being used in addition to morphology to determine evolutionary relationships between organism. Homologous sequences show greater evolutionary relationship
