Answer:
B. the appearance of lichens and mosses in an area where a glacier has recently melted away
Explanation:
Ecological succession, which refers to the series of changes that occurs over time in an ecosystem, can be of two types namely: primary succession and secondary succession.
Primary succession is a succession that involves an area where no form of life has grown previously, hence, the area of land is barren e.g bare rock. Primary succession is first colonized by species called PIONEER SPECIES e.g. lichens, mosses etc.
According to this question, "the appearance of lichens and mosses (pioneer species) in an area where a glacier has recently melted away" is an example of PRIMARY SUCCESSION.
(Initial individuals + newborn individuals) - dead individuals = total individuals
Growth rate = (total individuals/initial individuals) * 100
Population growth rate = new percentage minus 100%
Calculations
(1000 + 500) - 200 = 1500 - 200 = 1300
Growth rate = (1300/ 1000) * 100
= 1.3 * 100
= 130%
Population growth rate = 130% - 100%
= 30% per year if it is uniform
Answer is Nitrogen, atomic number 7
The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. Hence, the number of electrons in the nitrogen atom is 7. In the nitrogen, valance electrons are 3 in number in 2P orbital. Its valency is 3. Therefore, it can make three bonds with other elements which is highest among the given options.
