The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that can be supported on a lo

ng-term basis in a given amount of land. For example, the carrying capacity of the Florida Panther may be 50 panthers per 10,000 square kilometers of habitat in the Everglades ecosystem. Which of the following determines the carrying capacity of an ecosystem?
A. the average daily temperature of the ecosystemB. the most limited resources required for survivalC. the number of predators found in the ecosystemD. the amount of disease affecting organisms in the ecosystem

Answer:

B. the most limited resources required for survival

Explanation:

The population and survival of organisms in any ecosystem is usually dependent on the availability of a number of resources, which may include water, food, space, sunlight, and other environmental conditions.  

However, what determines the maximum number of organisms that an ecosystem can adequately cater for or sustain is the most limited resources required for the survival of that organism in that ecosystem. The carrying capacity of an ecosystem is dependent on the most limited resources required for sustenance of that organism

Answer:

B. the most limited resources required for survival

Explanation:

<em>The maximum number of organism that an environment can support is determined by the amount of resources present in the that environment.</em>

Competition for key resources such as food, light and space ensures that only the strong survives in the environment due to natural selection and such, the population is kept around the carrying capacity of the environment.

A is incorrect, the average daily temperature is not a limited resources.

C is incorrect. While the number of predator can affect the population size, they do not work to limit the population size around the environment's carrying capacity.

D is incorrect. Disease is a limiting factor in the population but does not act to limit the population size around the carrying capacity.

The correct option is B.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>

You wish to determine the concentration of bacteria in a liquid sample. You measure the concentration by direct microscopic obse
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question above is "PLATE COUNT TECHNIQUE"

Explanation:

DIRECT MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATION is the method of estimating the number of microorganism using microscope. Samples to be estimated are placed on microscope slides which allow few cells in a small volume to be counted. Then, the value determined is used to estimate the total number of cells mathematically. It is only difficult to aee small cells which may affect precision.

VIABLE COUNT is the estimation of the living cells in a given sample.

PLATE COUNT TECHNIQUE is used to estimate the number of viable cells that are present in a given sample of actively growing or dividing cells based on bacteria cells found on agar plate. A sample to be counted is diluted in a solution that will not kill the microorganisms, this is done to enable accurate counting as only living bacteria will be counted.

Identify two cell structures involved in modifying and transporting proteins out of the cell. Structure:
Ede4ka [16]

6 & 7

Structure 6 is the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum ( RER) while structure 7 is the Golgi apparatus.

Explanation:

The RER has ribosomes aligning its outer membrane (reason why it's referred to as called rough ER). The ribosomes manufacture polypeptide chains that enter the lumen of the RER. The polypeptide chains are properly folded using chaperones in the lumen of the RER and undergo post-translation modifications, These proteins then undergo Quality Control checks and the proper ones are allowed to proceed to the Golgi apparatus.

Proteins from the RER reach the Golgi apparatus through vesicles that bud off of the <em>trans</em> side of the RER then fuse with the <em>cis </em>side of the Golgi apparatus. The Golgi perform a few more modifications to the proteins  including tagging them for delivery , then packages them. Vesicles carrying the proteins bud off of the <em>trans</em> side of the Golgi and get transported to their destination inside or outside the cell.

What is the relationship between mutation, natural seleection, and adaptation
Schach [20]
Mutations and natural selection cause adaptations. Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations.

Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment.
