The correct answer is D. The population of hawks will decrease. The population of rabbits will increase.

Explanation:

In an energy pyramid or food chain, organisms depend on others; for example, in this case, snakes depend on rabbits, and hawks depend on snakes to obtain nutrients.

In this way, if a disease strikes snakes there would be fewer snakes; this will cause the population of rabbits to increase because more rabbits will survive and reproduce if there are few predators. On the other hand, the population of hawks will decrease because without snakes there will not be enough food for hawks, and this leads to fewer hawks. Thus, in this case, it is expected "The population of hawks will decrease. The population of rabbits will increase".

Analyze the data about nitrogenous base content of DNA from various species. Percentages of Bases in Five Organisms Source of DN
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

When analyzing data on the nitrogenous base content of the DNA of various species, the claims are supported by the data:

  • <em>In any one species, the amount of adenine closely approximates that of thymine.  </em>
  • <em>In any one species, the amount of guanine closely approximates that of cytosine.  </em>
  • <em>The amounts of A, T, G, and C in DNA varies from species to species. </em>

<em>(options A, B and D)</em>

Explanation:

Organizing the data has to:

<u>Source of DNA      A            T            G            C </u>

Streptococcus    29.8       31.6        20.5       18.0

Yeast                   31.3        32.9       18.7         17.1

Herring                27.8       27.5       22.2       22.6

Human                30.9       29.4       19.9        19.8

E. Coli                  24.7       23.6        26.0      25.7

DNA is the molecule that contains the genetic information of each species, formed by sequences of nitrogenous bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.

Since Adenine and Thymine -as well as Cytosine and Guanina- are complementary, the percentage of them will be very similar in each DNA molecule.

The genetic information -which determines the physical and functional characteristics of each organism- is encoded in the DNA and is different for each species, so the percentages of nitrogenous bases vary from species to species.

Which statement represents dehydration synthesis? decomposition by hydrolysis carbohydrate polymers formed as water is removed w
nirvana33 [79]
<span>The answer to this question is the second option-" carbohydrate polymers formed as water is removed". In the dehydration synthesis, polymers are created. This is when two molecules formed a new product which results the loss of water. So, this is a process of forming or making a new compound together with the removal of water.</span>

How does mining impact the environment?
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

It has a negative impact on the environment by allowing toxic chemicals to harm wildlife.

Explanation:

Mining refers to the act of extracting minerals and other valuable solids from the earth's crust. The process of mining can have adverse effect on an ecosystem in the sense that wildlife is threatened during the process.

During the mining process, chemicals, which are toxic to living organisms, from the minerals gets washed into the areas surrounding the mining site. Thereby, causing serious harm to the wildlife living in those areas.

Research how to compost material, which materials are biodegradable, and which are not. A good place to start your research is t
pshichka [43]

Composting is a technique that allows biodegradable materials of urban, domestic and industrial origin to be degraded to form humus, a type of soil that is very fertile and extremely rich in micronutrients.

These biodegradable materials are materials of organic origin, such as food scraps, fruit peels, pieces of vegetables, among others. As the domestic environment generates a large amount of organic waste, composting in this environment is very favorable, and it can generate a very rich soil to be used in the garden, in vegetables, among other places.

Composting occurs when organic waste is stored for a certain period of time. At that time, decomposing fungi and bacteria degrade all organic matter forming the humus. It is necessary that during the time of storage of this garbage, it must be stirred in a certain period of time, to avoid the overheating of the organic matter, causing fires.

Composting can be either vermicomposting or dry composting. In vermicompostings, earthworms are added to the stored garbage, which help fungi and bacteria in the decomposition of this garbage, making the process faster. In dry composting, on the other hand, microorganisms work without any help.

It is important to note that only organic materials can be used in this process, because bacterial and earthworm fungi do not use substances present in non-organism material in their metabolism, and these materials cannot degrade.

As advantages of composting, we can say that it reduces the amount of waste, does not cause the release of methane into the atmosphere (it only releases carbon dioxide, water and biomass) and allows the created humus to be added to the soil, reducing erosion and improving aeration from soil.

As disadvantages we can say that because it is a material that is decomposing, composting can attract flies and other insects and animals that can pass diseases or cause discomfort to people. In addition, it is necessary for someone to be aware of the temperature and humidity of the compost, to avoid fires and other problems.

To start composting in your home, you must first separate organic and non-organic waste. In addition, you will have to buy a compost bin to store the garbage correctly and research a lot about it, to learn the safety methods that should be used and the stages of decomposition of this material.
