Answer and explanation:

Among the main evidences of the theory of continental drift, we can mention the fit of the lines of the coasts of several continents, In addition to the similarity between several relief structures and rocks in different continents (such as mountain ranges found in South America and on the east coast of Africa).

There are also records of fossils of identical extinct plants, found on the African continent and also in countries like Australia, India and Brazil, for example.

Identical reptile fossils have also been found in Africa and South America, in addition to several correlations in the distribution of aquatic dinosaur fossils that lived in common areas of the ancient supercontinent.

What is the most likely explanation for the results in the graph?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. The apple orchard releases toxic chemicals into the water of the bay.

Explanation:

Option B is the correct answer. It is the most likely explanation for the results in the graph.

From the graph, we can see that the population of the fishes sharply dropped. Since the fertilizer is applied to the apple orchard and the orchard was planted beside the bay, during the rain it is possible that the water has washed some of the fertilizers into the bay. The chemicals used in making fertilizer are harmful and toxic.

This reveals that the toxic chemicals released from the apple orchard are responsible for the decline in the population of the fish.

Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated on the shelf of a refrigerator (5 C), out on a lab bench top (22 C), on the shelf

Setler79 [48]

D) Psychrotrophs.

Explanation:

Psychrotrophs are those bacteria which can tolerate cold temperature and have optimum growth above 15 degree Celsius.
Halophiles prefer high salt concentration.
Mesophiles prefer temperatures with a average of 37 degree Celsius.
Anaerobes grow in absence of oxygen.
In the given experiment, none of the bacterial cultures were placed in saline or anaerobic conditions. So, the bacterial species is not an anaerobe or halophile.
Again the cultures did not show growth at 37 degree celsius so they are not mesophiles.
Maximum growth at 22 degree celsius and a little growth in refrigerator make it obvious that the species is a Psychrotroph.

zhuklara [117]

California is home to the largest, tallest, and oldest trees on earth, all of which are gymnosperms.
Gymnosperms are plants that have seeds and are usually coniferous trees. Given that those largest, tallest, and oldest trees are sequoias, this seems to be the correct answer.
Nonvascular plants are quite small. Seedless vascular plants is also incorrect, because sequoias have seeds. Angiosperms are flowers.
