The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) procures the use of safer needle devices such as self-stealthing and self-blunting features of syringes (attached are images of said interventions). In using safer needle devices, 80% of needlestick injuries can be reduced.
The correct answer is:
a. Jupiter
Explanation:
In 1610, Galileo Galilei turned his rudimentary telescope on Jupiter and understood that it had 4 large moons orbiting it: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. This was an amazing discovery because it explained that Earth was not the center of the Universe as champions of the geocentric view assumed.
Answer:
b. Two species that use a limited resource in the same way cannot coexist indefinitely
Explanation:
The competitive exclusion principle establishes that two or more species that share the same niche requirements, in the same habitat, and are in biological competition for the same resources, won´t be able to coexist indefinitely in the same space if the other ecological factors are constant. This is because species with identical niches have the same necessities, which means that they will compete for the same resources. If these species have the same requirements, they can not coexist. When the superior competitor occupies the inferior competitor´s fundamental niche, the first species has advantages over the second species and <em>monopolizes all the resources</em>. From that moment, the inferior species is displaced and must adapt to use other resources changing its behavior, or must migrate to another area where it can get access to its needs or get extinct.
When <em>two competing species coexist</em>, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. One of the species uses a <em>different resource, occupies another area, or uses the resources at different times during the day</em>. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species.
Niche specialization might produce genotypic separation. Subpopulations of a species diverge into new species.
So, <em>competitive exclusion refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. </em>
Answer:
All energy on Earth originally comes from the Sun. Plants use sunlight in a process called photosynthesis, to make their own food and provide energy. This is why plants are producers, because they make their own food. Cows eat plants, namely grass. So, when the cow eats the grass, the energy from the grass transfers to the cow. This is why cows are consumers, because instead of making their own food, cows, like humans, must consume their food to survive.
