Q1:
Answer:
Studies have reported that due to predation of pythons on rabbits, the population of other predators is badly affected.
Bobcats are a natural predator of rabbits thus they come in a competition with pythons for food. As pythons are more powerful so they target rabbits more easily than Bobcats. The population of Bobcats has been declined by 90% or more due to the establishment of pythons in the Everglades.
<em>Alligator mississippiensis </em>or American alligators are also abundant in Everglades and just like Bobcats they compete with pythons for their food. They can even kill pythons if pythons are smaller in size than them, but python will kill alligator if he is of smaller size. Although rabbits are food for both alligator and Python but Alligator is a key stone specie and it has very important ecological role, because it digs holes in land that retain water upon rainfall. These water hole provide water in the extreme dry weather and help in survival of other small specie like insects and birds.
So, we can expect the population of Alligator, Bob cats and other small insects and birds to decline rapidly if Python population kept on increasing with same speed.

Q2:
Answer:
There is no doubt that Pythons pose serious threat for both humans as well as survival of other organisms like Alligators and birds. However, I donot think that “Python challenge” is a reasonable way to kill or remove Pythons. Because It can threat the lives of many individuals who take part in competition, although they are trained but still they are nor professionals and get training of only few weeks so it is not safe competition.
There should be some strategy of introducing natural predators like Brown beers, Cougars and Alligators which can kill python naturally without staking the life of humans at risk.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
Water shed is created when an area or land separates the water flowing to different rivers, basin and seas.
Explanation:
Water shed are of different types-
- Large water sheds-Contain well developed channel networks.
- Small water sheds-Contain dominant land phase.
- Urban watershed-It is dominated by building,roads,pavements.
- Agriculture water shed-
- Forest water shed-Evapotranspiration is the dominant component of the hydrologic cycle.
- Mountain water shed-mountain is the dominant component that separates the water flow.
- Desert water shed-Sand dunes sand mounds that are formed by blowing air causes separation of water flow.
- Coastal watershed-Coastal area may partly be urban and is dynamic contact with sea.The hydrology is influenced by tidal action.
This colored pigment is known as Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is contained in the red blood cells of vertebrates and gives these cells their red color.
Suppose bad weather and pollution dramatically reduce the supply of crawfish in Louisiana next year. This would most likely lead to an increase in the marginal utility of crawfish consumption.
Marginal utility of a commodity or service is the change in total utility resulting from consuming an extra unit of that commodity or service.
The marginal utility of a good or service tells about the happiness experienced or the contentment obtained by the consumers as a consequence of the increment or decrement in consumption by one unit.
There exist three kinds of marginal utility. They include positive, negative as well as zero marginal utility.
