Dozens of tower cranes dot DC's skyline, and so many of them are building new high-rise apartments that the District now ranks ninth among US cities with the most housing units under construction. It sure looks like a lot of new housing supply is being built, and certainly plenty of new luxury apartments within the District. However, the downtown high-rises under construction only tell half the story of Greater Washington's housing growth story.
While all those cranes are easy to see from afar, what isn't immediately apparent from the airport (but might be from a plane) is that many fewer acres of the countryside around us are being bulldozed for subdivisions–which for the past century has been where most lower-cost, low-rise housing was built. As a result, the region as a whole isn't building enough housing for our rising population.
Reducing sprawl is good, but we haven't built enough housing in city cores to meet demand
Fewer than half as many single-family houses are being built at the suburban fringes of Greater Washington every year, compared to the region's long-range average. Taken together, the single-family houses that aren't being built around Greater Washington each year would cover four square miles–an area the size of Rock Creek Park. The slower pace of suburban development over the past ten years has meant tens of thousands of acres of farms and forests around our region haven't been bulldozed for subdivisions and strip malls.

Answer:
a) A beaker filled with 1 liter of deionized water? - water will flow into the bag so its volume will increase. The solution is <u>hypotonic</u>
b) A beaker filled with 1 liter of 10% sucrose solution? - water will flow out of the bag so its volume will reduce. The solution is <u>hypertonic</u>
c) A beaker filled with 1 liter of 2% sucrose solution - the volume of water in the bag will stay the same as the two solutions are in equilibrium. The solution is <u>isotonic</u>
Explanation:
Water moves by osmosis through a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis describes the simple diffusion of water molecules.
Water molecules will move from a high concentration to a low concentration.
- If the bag of 2% sucrose solution is placed in a beaker of deionized water, the concentration of water in the deionized water is in the beaker higher than in the bag (because the water in the bag contains 2% sucrose). Therefore, the water in the beaker will move from a high concentration outside the bag to a lower concentration inside the bag
- If the bag of 2% sucrose solution is placed in a beaker of 10% sucrose solution, the concentration of water in the bag is higher than in the beaker (because there is more sucrose in the beaker). Therefore, the water in the bag will move from a higher concentration inside the bag to a lower concentration outside the bag.
- When the concentration of water is equal, the movment of water molecules reaches an equilibrium and there will be no change in the volume of water in the bag
Tropical rain forest
Explanation:
The tropical rain forest of the world spans from Asia to South America and Africa.
This biome is typified by a lush green vegetation made up of tall trees and short dense undergrowth. Diverse varieties of plant and animal life abounds there.
The tropical rain forest is the most bio-diverse in our world today.
This biodiversity of plant species should be a favorable advantage for the biologist trying to find a new set of antibiotics.
Here, a plethora of plant species would be presented to her giving her several alternatives to work with.

Answer:
The fetus is connected by the umbilical cord to the placenta, the organ that develops and implants in the mother's uterus during pregnancy. Through the blood vessels in the umbilical cord, the fetus receives all the necessary nutrition, oxygen, and life support from the mother through the placenta.
