Answer: D). Primary species have large numbers of offsprings, and climax communities contain species that have small numbers of offsprings.

An ecological succession is a process of gradual changes occurs in a biological community with respect to changes in the non-living abiotic factors (water, air and sunlight) and with respect to time until the ecosystem attains stability. Primary or pioneer species are the species which invade the previously barren and primitive landmass for their survival. These species make the environment suitable for the growth of other species. These grow and develop in the initial stages of succession. These species are simple organisms which reproduce asexually and produces large number of offsprings. Examples are lichen and moss. Lichen grows on the surface of rocks and acids released by them causes withering of rocks into soil which facilitate the growth of mosses and other plants. Climax community develops in an ecosystem after replacing many previously inhabiting species. Climax community develops in the end of the ecological succession. It contains species which are highly complex and uses sexual reproduction for the production of offsprings which are less in number as compared to those produced by pioneer species by asexual reproduction.

if simple sugars are present, the solution will turn which color when combined with the food sample and heated?

Allushta [10]

<span>The answer is green, yellow or brick-red. If simple sugars are present, the blue solution will turn green, yellow or brick-red when combined with the food sample and heated. </span>Benedict's solution<span> is used to test for simple sugars, such as glucose. It is a clear blue solution of sodium and copper salts. When heated with the food sample, the blue solution changes color to green, yellow, and brick-red, depending on the amount of sugar.</span>

What happens to the states of matter when the temperature changes

stepladder [879]

They may either release heat or gain heat. With a temperature increase, the kinetic energy increases and the state of matter will increase (example, ice to water aka solid to liquid)

If the temperature decreases, then the kinetic energy decreases and the state of matter will decrease (example, water vapor to water aka gas to liquid)
