The best way to measure an exact volume is with a(n) _____________.

xxTIMURxx [149]

The answer is E, graduated cylinder.

Meanwhile beaker and test tubes may have markings, but they're not as accurate. Especially in beakers, their wide diameter only makes an approximate volume, as it is very likely to have a reading mistake on that. Their main function is not to measure volumes, thus there marking may already have an mistake.

And in watch glass and evaporating dish, they're both very shallow and wide in diameter too, so they're not for measuring volumes. Plus, not all of them have markings.

And in graduated cylinder, the thin shape makes the reading a lot more accurate and the main purpose for that is to measure volumes. They also come in transparent tubes that can make the reading clear and easy to read.

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start

andrew11 [14]

Complete question:

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start. The wolves prey on the moose and eat well, allowing them to have abundant offspring. However, as the wolf population rises, the moose population drops, and over time, the wolf population begins to drop also because of the reduced availability of resources. As the wolf population drops, moose are able to better survive and reproduce, causing the moose population to rise. With this abundance of moose, the wolf population is able to rebound until their population exceeds the moose population’s ability to support the number of wolves. Which population dynamic does this series of oscillations represent?

Delayed density dependence
Delayed density independence
Extinction vortex
Carrying capacity

Answer:

Delayed density dependence

Explanation:

The Delayed density dependence occurs when two species are in interaction (prey-predator or parasite-host), and the dynamic of each population follows the dynamic of the other population. The natality and mortality rates of one species follow the rates of the other species.

Delayed density dependence dynamics regulate populations and allow the occurrence of equilibrium or balance in nature.

Predator-prey scenarios

Assuming that the prey lives in the ideal environment with no predators, it shows an exponential growth rate. Prey can grow, develop, and reproduce, increasing its population size. The more available items, the more predator there will be. The predator population increase in size, and its presence affects the prey populations, leading it to decrease. So there are fewer available items to prey on.

The prey population also affects the predator population. After the increase in the predator population size, the number of available prey decreases. The predator lives in an ideal environment but depends on the prey density. The more predators there are, the fewer prey there will be left. The predator population decreases exponentially due to the item's lack. The predation rate depends on density as well as natality and mortality rates.

So, to sum up,

prey population increases in size
predator population increases in size
prey population decreases in size
predator population decreases in size

In this particular example, the wolves population follows the moose population and vice-versa. It is not simultaneous. It happens with a delay.

Moose influences the wolf population because they are their source of food. The more moose, the more wolves there are. The fewer moose, the fewer wolves there are.

This is a density-dependent dynamic because both populations are affected when they reach a high value.

How are hormones and prostaglandins similar? how are they different?

solniwko [45]

Prostaglandin similarity with hormones is in the effect they achieve by binding to the receptors. Their effects are mediated by paracrine or autocrine mechanisms. Another hormone characteristic is the ability to stimulate adenylate cyclase activity, producing cAMP as the second messenger.

On the other hand, prostaglandins differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a specific place but in many different places throughout the body. Also, the metabolic degradation of prostaglandins is very rapid.
