Answer: a. Livestock grazing areas

Livestock grazing areas is not an example of an ecological service provided by forest. The ecological service of the forest will be providing an aesthetic environment. The forests reduce the soil erosion by keeping in hold of soil by the roots, forests liberate fresh oxygen in the air which keeps the water body oxygenated. Forests are the carbon sinks which mainly absorb the carbon dioxide present in the air for the purpose of photosynthesis.

So 200/25 is equal to 8, and because of that, the plot has 8 weeds per square kilometer.

Answer:

Rock

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic substances that occur naturally in nature and have a

a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure while rocks may consists of one or many minerals together along with some organic remains due to which it may not look shiny and crystalline from outside.

Here, the two characteristics that enable the reader to identify the object given by grandmother to Emily as rock are –

a) Looks ugly on the outside (shows the presence of organic matter)

b) solid purple color with pretty crystals (crystalline structure inside)

Consider the evidence that explains how physical separation of two populations of a species can cause speciation. What effect do

Tom [10]

Answer:

Interruption in the genetic flow between separated groups

The emergence of new mutations in each of the groups, and their accumulation in time. Slow and gradual differentiation between populations.
Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation
Prezigotic isolation mechanisms

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background that can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flux, as the two new groups that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps that affect organisms:

The emergence of the barrier.
Interruption in the genetic interchange
The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
Prezigotic isolation mechanisms will be favored by selection if occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

Looking at a food web, where is the largest amount of energy found?

kirill115 [55]

Largest energy found in the lowermost portion of the trophic level near "Producers" 'cause as it passes through the higher trophic levels, it get decreased by 10% at each step, according to Lindmann's 10% law!!

Hope this helps!!
