You want to know about the population dynamics of the earthworms you plan to put into your compost bin. You get a shipment of 25

0 worms to put into your bin and you calculate that your bin size can support 2000 worms. The company tells you that they have a per capita birth rate of 0.6 and per capita death rate of 0.2. What will be the instantaneous rate of change in population size over time (include 3 decimal places)

ANSWER: The instantaneous rate change in population of the warm is 0.400 and it will take the worm 7.999yrs to fill the bin.

Explanations: instantaneous change rate of a population is the rate difference between the birth rates and death rate of that population.

STEP 1: FIND THE DAILY BIRTH INCREASE.

birth rate = 0.6

Population = 250

Number of days in a year = 365

Their Daly birth increase will be;

(0.6 ÷ 365) × 250 = 0.411

STEP2: FIND THE DAILY DEATH INCREASE;

Death rate = 0.2

Population = 250

Number of days in a year = 365

Their daily death increase will be;

(0.2 ÷ 365) × 250 = 0.137

STEP 3: THE CHANGE IN THEIR DAILY POPULATION:

daily birth - daily death

0.411 - 0.137 = 0.274

STEP4: FIND THE INSTANTENEOUS CHANGE RATE:

Daily change in population = 0.274

Number of days in a year = 365

Number of population = 250

(365 × 0.274) ÷ 250 = 0.400

Therefore the instantaneous rate of change in the worm population is 0.400

TO CALCULATE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THE BIN TO FILL

(0.400 × 2000) ÷ 0.274 = 2919.706 days

Which is 2919.796/365 = 7.999yrs.

Therefore it will take the bin 7.999 years for the worm to fill the bin

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

c. Damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions.

Explanation:

The primary motor cortex is an area in the brain that is responsible for the control and regulation of activities that involves movement of the body as well as the postures they body takes which we also refer to as motor skills.

The primary motor cortex sends signals in the form of nerve impulses to the brain and this in turn helps in the maintenance of the motor skills that is carried out by the body.

Not only does the damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions, it also causes other losses such as constant contraction of the muscles also know as spasticity, involuntary muscle contraction also referred to as clonus.

Which of the following gases was not prevalent in Earth’s atmosphere during the Hadean Eon?
gavmur [86]

<span>The gas which was not prevalent in Earth’s atmosphere during the Hadean Eon is CO2. If you are going to see the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, Carbon Dioxide has the least percentage.
</span>This is because after the hydrogen and helium had escaped, Earth's Hadean atmosphere was left with methane, ammonia, water vapor, and small percentages of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. 
See attached file for further information about the Earth's atmosphere during the Haedan Period.
