bottleneck effect --- > A disease wipes out almost 90% of a population of birds, but the species adapts, and after 5 years its numbers increase dramatically.
gene flow ---> A population of rats travels on a cargo ship and mate with rats in a new region.
founder effect ---> Biologists introduce a small population of lizards on an island as part of a conservation effort.
mutation ---> A change in a DNA sequence causes a lizard to develop a darker skin color, which helps it hide from predators.
Answer: the rabbit
Explanation:
In ecology, biomass refers to the mass of organisms living within a specific region at a time. Biomass is measured and usually described as:
- the total mass of the organisms within a community
- the average masses per unit area
Typically, more numerous organisms, such as producers, have a higher average biomass. This may include plants, animals or microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In terrestrial environments, biomass is distributed in pyramid form; the carnivorous hawk preys on rabbits and birds, which are nearer to the base of the pyramid- each predator population would have a lower biomass than its prey.
The birds weigh 100 grams while the rabbit weighs 150 grams.The rabbit has a higher total mass
Answer:
<u>B. Animals do not use carbon dioxide as an energy source; they use carbohydrates.</u>
Explanation:
The most readily form of energy that an animal requires is carbohydrate molecules. Monosaccharide carbohydrates can be easily broken down and hence are the best sources of energy. Carbohydrates are broken down in the process of cellular respiration to generate ATP. ATP is the energy driving molecule which is required by every cell of an organisms body to carry out its normal metabolic functions. Hence, animals use carbohydrates as a source of energy, not carbon dioxide.
Answer:
Corpus callosum
Explanation:
Corpus callosum is the red part of the brain that has a “C” shape. The corpus callosum, which is made up of over 200 million of neural fibers, links both hemispheres of the brain (the left and right brain) together, which allows for coordination and complex communication between both in order for the brain to function properly.
This structure usually starts forming about 12 weeks after conception of a child, and continues to develop up to about 12 years of age of the child.
The main function of the corpus callosum is the ensuring of uninterrupted flow of information, and the integration of complex information and tasks such as motor, sensory and cognitive functions between both hemispheres of the brain.
Protists are eukaryotes, which means their cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most, but not all, protists are single-celled.
