An isolated African canyon community in which cheetahs and leopards consume only impala antelopes is being observed. In a hypoth

Answer:

<em>The population of the impala antelopes will decline rapidly.</em>

Explanation:

The cheetahs and leopards are the predators of the impala antelopes. If the population of the predators arises, this means there will be more predators feeding on the prey. As a result, the population of the prey will decline. Hence, in the above scenario, the population of the impala antelopes will decline rapidly as it will have more number of predators. The population of the cheetahs might also start to decline if it does not move on to another source of food.

Match the terms to their definition. 1. chromosome a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane 2. eukaryote a genetic charac
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1. chromosome: tight coils of DNA

2. Eukaryote: a cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus

3. Gene: a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that carry hereditary traits

4. Prokaryote: a cell whose nucleus is not bound by a membrane

5. Trait: genetic characteristic of an individual

Explanation:

Chromosomes are the thread-like structures that appear during cell division. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled with its packing proteins.  

A cell is defined as eukaryote or prokaryote on the basis of the presence of a membrane-bound nucleus. The cells that lack the membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles are called prokaryotic cells. Example: bacteria.

The cells that have a membrane bound nucleus in which DNA is present are called eukaryotic cells. Example: Plant cells.

A stretch of DNA that code for a particular protein and thereby regulate specific genetic trait is called a gene. Genes are present on chromosomes and are carried from one generation to next to maintain the genetic traits.

The features of living beings regulated by the gene are called trait. Example: skin color, eye color, etc.

How could environmental concerns conflict with your desire to improve your stand in living?
Darina [25.2K]

Standard of living refers to the quality, and quantity, of goods and services made available to an individual for his/her consumption. This definition is a general one and is easily understood.

To improve one's standard of living, in accordance with this definition, one needs to be provided with a better quality goods & services , such as advanced electronics and gadgets, or quantity, such as producing more self-care product for consumption.

So how does this conflict with his/her environmental concerns? In order to improve standard of living, there is a few trade offs. To produce more quantity of goods & services, more resources have to be used. This might lead to excessive usage, wastage & depletion of natural resources. For example, to provide more fuel to the society, companies have to extract more & more of fossil fuel. Sustainable usage of natural resources might be a concern, since some types of resources are unrenewable e. g oil & gas.

Production of higher quality products requires advanced state of technology. In the meantime, the use of some technologies aren't exactly environmental friendly i. e it may create pollution. For example, decades ago, manufacturing shirts using traditional methods might not yield consistent results thus the invention of machine helps with increasing the quality, however, results in noise and air pollution. Another example, using air-conditioning instead of hand fan is more effective in coping with hot weather, but greenhouse gas is emitted.

This shows the conflict between environmental concern and the desire to improve standard of living in general.

Hope this helps!

In the emergency department, a client arrives following a car accident. His pulse is 122; BP 88/60; respiration is 18 bpm. Urine
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

innervation of the sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this lower urine output is primarily due to innervation of the sympathetic nervous system. This supply of nerves then increases the pressure which tightens the afferent arteriole, and is what prevents urine from passing through. Hence why the urine output is only 4 mL over the first hour on arrival.
