When high winds knocked down pine trees in a wooded region, it created a gap in the crowded canopy and allowed sunlight to all o

n the ground.
The increased sunlight allowed a dense growth of raspberry plants which protected young pine seedlings from being eaten by herbivores. Over time, the
pine seedlings grew and blocked sunlight from falling on the woodland floor, thereby preventing growth of more raspberry plants. Which of these terms
BEST describes the process of change observed in this woodlands community?
a. natural selection
b. ecological succession
c. cooperation
d. adaptation

Answer:

Answer is option B, i.e. ecological succession.

Explanation:

Ecological succession can be understood as a slow process of change that takes place in the ecology or ecosystem over a given period of time. One species takes over the other species naturally and gradually with changing condition that falls favorable for the former. Here, in the above mentioned case, the Raspberry plants took over the habitat of Pine trees after they were knocked down by the winds. With the passage of time and favorable conditions for the pine seedling, they took over the plantation area again.

Kaylis [27]

When the motion energy of an object changes, there is inevitably some other change in energy at the same time. If the object is slowing down, where is the energy going?

1. The potential would increase since when the ball is slowing down, its kinetic energy is being transformed into potential energy and when the ball gets hit or kicked again, it releases the potential energy and it transforms into kinetic energy.

2. The kinetic energy wouldn't exactly be lost to friction or air resistance, it's merely being converted into potential energy when the ball is slowing down due to those factors.

3. The ball returning to its natural resting state is correct since according to Newton's 1st Law in which an object that is at rest or is moving will not change unless there is another force acting upon it. in this case, the ball was kicked and there are other forces acting upon it like friction and air resistance, those factors cause the ball to slow down. Eventually the ball will stop and return to its original resting state.

4. This one is incorrect since kinetic energy is not staying the same as the person or any other force that is exerted on it be increased therefore increasing the kinetic energy.

Which of the following are characteristics of archaeal cell membranes that probably help them survive at very high temperatures?
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option-B, C and E

Explanation:

Archaebacteria are a group of prokaryotes which can survive the extreme conditions. The archaebacteria which can survive very high temperature are called hyperthermophiles. The hyperthermophilic bacteria can survive temperature range between 70 t 125 °C observed in hydrothermal vents.

The archaea bacteria can withstand the high temperature as their membrane is adaptive. The membrane of the archaea is more stable due to the ether linkage which makes carbon less chemically reactive. The phospholipids possess a monolayer which decreases the layer fluidity and thus the unwanted movement of molecules.

The archaea also contain cyclopentane rings in the ester-linked phospholipids which allows tight pacing of the molecules which decrease the movement of solute into and out of the cell.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

If you were a scientist working with bacteria, what type of work would you want to do? Explain why.
Alinara [238K]
Bacteria are very small organisms, usually consisting of one cell, that lack chlorophyll (a green pigment found in plants that allows for the production of food). Except for viruses, they are the smallest living things on Earth. Many bacteria are so small that a million of them, laid end-to-end, would measure no more than about five centimeters (two inches). The term bacteria is the plural form of the word bacterium, which represents a single organism. <span>
