Answer:

Weak van der waals forces

Explanation:

Van der waals forces are  non-covalent bonds electrically induced between two atoms or molecules.

By themselves, van der walls forces are inconsequential. A large number together play crucial roles.

They play a crucial role in determining the structure, stability and function of systems.

In proteins, it contributes in its interaction with other molecules.

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: B)  Predator/prey

=========================================================

Explanation:

The lynx is the predator that hunts and eats the snowshoe hare, which is the prey.

The graph shows that when the hare population is large, so is the predator population because they rely on the hares as a source of food. However, the more predators there are, the less prey there will be. This causes the prey population to decrease. In turn, this decrease causes the predator population to decrease as well. If there's less food, then some of the lynx population will starve to death.

At some point, the hare population will rebound and go back up due to less predators eating them. They have a better chance to survive. As the hare population goes up, so does the lynx population. They're both strongly linked together, and we have this cyclic pattern the graph indicates. You could say this is "the cycle of life" or "cycle of nature" so to speak.

This is a very simplistic viewpoint because it does not account for other factors such as other predators and other prey, and it also doesn't take account of things like habitat loss for instance. Despite that, such predator-prey models are still useful to understand the connection between the two species.

Arthropods invaded land about 100 million years before vertebrates did so. This most clearly implies that
horrorfan [7]

The correct answer is - A) arthropods evolved before vertebrates did.

The arthropods have evolved much earlier than the vertebrates. They were on the scene millions of years before the earliest marine forms of the vertebrates. Because the arthropods were on the scene much earlier, they managed to use the newly formed suitable environment on the land. They were initially marine, but with only slight adaptations they were able to adapt to the terrestrial life.

Once the arthropods got out of the marine environment and started to take up the niches in the terrestrial environment, they experienced a real explosion in their evolution and diversification. They were the dominant land dwellers, and because of the lack of competition, as well as the higher levels of oxygen, they managed to reach pretty big sizes for their standards. Unfortunately for them, their brain capacity is limited to a very low level, so once the competition came on the scene, they were quickly pushed from the throne as the dominant terrestrial creatures.

Using context clues, what does “ferrying its newly-gained energy with it “ mean when talking about convection?
finlep [7]

The term "ferrying its newly-gained energy with it" means that the fluid carries the energy it acquired as it rises during convection.

Convection is a mode of heat transfer in which energy is transferred by the bulk movement of particles from one point to another. During convection, a fluid is heated and its particles acquire energy, These energetic particles now move upwards and are replaced by less dense fluid at a lower energy.

The term ferrying its newly-gained energy with it, implies that the heated particles carry the energy they have gained with them as they rise during convection.
