These plants colonize habitats, and exclude the native plants and animals. Since they decrease native biodiversity, they arebad for the environment.

Answer:

Invasive species do not have natural predators and therefore usually overgrow, invading other species habitat and breaking the normal ecosystem process.

Explanation:

When a species its brought by human mistake to a new environment where they can successfully adapt and grow. This invasive species can usually reproduce and grow rapidly, using many resources and therefore affecting the native species.  Part of their success its because in many cases, they do not have natural predators or pests. A well known example its the introduction of the <u>Lionfish to the Caribbean Sea.</u>

There are two properties that affect the conduction speed of an action potential along an axon: die axon's diameter and whether
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

 Axons with high  diameter, and myelinated will conduct action potential faster.

Axons with low diameter but myelinated will be  relatively  slow in the speed of action potential transmission

Axons with high diameter and unmyelinated will be relatively slow in action potential transmission.  

Axons with low diameter, and unmyelinated will conduct action potential slowly .

Explanation:

Diameter of Axon affects conduction speed of Action Potential; the thick axons with  high diameter conducts action potential at a faster speed than thin neurons. This is because of the less resistance to the transmission of action potential along the thick axon. However, thin neurons with   lower diameter has more resistance to the action potential conduct along the axon, thus the speed of transmission is slow.  

Myelinated neuron transmits action potential faster because of   jumping of action potential at the nodes of Ranvier where there is highest concentration of all channel proteins and pump proteins, Therefore action potential is conducted at a faster rate as it jumps from one node to another. This is salutatory conduction. It increases the conduct about 50 times compare to unmyelinated neuron. In neuron of human it increases the speed to 100ms-1

.Conversely, unmyelinated neurone  conducts action potential slowly. About 0.5ms-1 . This is because no salutatory conduction takes place because there is no myelin interruption as Nodes of Ranvier

lora16 [44]

Domain is the highest ranking of organisms in taxonomy.

The correct option is b.

<h3>What do you mean by domain?</h3>

Domain is the highest ranking of the biological system.

In the system there are three domains

  • Archaea
  • Bacteria
  • Eukarya

This is the highest classification, after this further classification of living organism is done.

Thus, the correct option is B

Water is essential for life. Its special properties make water the single most important molecule in plant life. Which propertie
Harman [31]

Answer:

Because water exhibits cohesive behavior.

Explanation:

Cohesive behavior can be explained as a behavior where molecules are attracted to each other.

And this means that,  water molecules are attracted to each  other because of their cohesive behavior. This makes them to be  attracted to other substances, such as the walls of the xylem of plants.

In this case, it is believed that the water molecules behave this  way because they are polar, that is, there is an electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. And this enables it to move from the roots to the leaves of the plants.

Question 23 (6 points)
Stels [109]

Answer: 1. Sea urchins and sea otters

2. They are prey for carnivores.

3. Sea otters, star fish

Explanation:

Sea urchins and sea otters are carnivores as they eat on the flesh of starfish and sea urchins respectively.

Starfish feed on the kelp forests which are the producers in the food chain and the starfish is the primary consumer and prey for sea urchins.  So, starfish and kelp forests are the prey in the marine ecosystem.

Keystone species is the one which controls the population of other inferior species in an ecosystem. Here, sea otters consume sea urchins so the population of sea urchins remained in control Starfish controls the population of kelp forest.
