Which characteristic best distinguishes quantitative

1 answer:

7 0

The characteristic that best distinguishes quantitative data from qualitative data (assuming that is what you are aiming for) is the objectivity of a research. This is because quantitative data is often an unchallenged fact, qualitative data can be interpreted in different ways since it refers to characteristics and so on forth.

Is it true that ocean biomes contain a wider biodiversity than land biomes why or why not?

EastWind [94]

The difficulty with this answer, lies in the fact that not all of land and ocean biomes have been completely explored. The ocean is vast, covering approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, with literally vertical miles or kilometers of depth, and with some areas with sparse to no biodiversity. The same can be said about certain areas of large deserts with very low levels of biodversity, void of life, like vast deserts of the Sahara or Gobi. But, the Amazon rain forest contains still unknown species of plant and animal life, just like the ocean. Because of its vastness, intellectually, I would say the ocean contains more biodiversity, but the answer is scientifically, as of now, yet to be proven one way or the other.

Climax community- most stable community that takes hundreds of years to develop. The types of organisms change due to __?__.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

competition

Explanation:

An ecological community is a naturally occurring group of native plants, animals and other organisms that are interacting in a unique habitat. Its structure, composition and distribution are determined by environmental factors such as soil type, position in the landscape, altitude, climate and water availability(Department of Agriculture).

A climax community refers to the last stage of ecological succession in which the community remains relatively unchanged unless it is destroyed by events such as fire or human interference.

Competition between species in the same habitat is an important biotic factor in discussing ecological succession and the emergence of climax communities. Competition leads to a drop in the diversity of species in a given ecosystem because the dominant species live on and reproduce while the other species die off.

There are several different kinds of aquatic ecosystems. Bogs get their water from precipitation, so they don't have many Fill i

Ratling [72]

Bogs get their water from precipitation, so they don't have many nutrients.
Marsh plants are adapted to waterlogged soil
Swamps have plants like trees and shrubs.
Rivers always have flowing currents and pick up sediment as they flow.
Lakes are bodies of water on land.
Wetlands act as filters for nutrients and pollutants dissolved in the water.
Estuaries are wetland regions where freshwater rivers mix with ocean water.

Explanation:

A wetland is a biome which has both water and land that are intermixed in various ways. According to the type of the wetland, the ecosystem differs.

Bogs: Wetland with water from precipitation and no inflow or outflow of surface or ground water.

Soil: Acidic, infertile with less nutrient content

Vegetation: Acid-loving plants

Swamps: Forest wetlands near rivers and lakes.

Soil: well draining, mineral soil

Vegetation: Trees and bushes. Swamps are classified according to the vegetation, like coniferous swamp, hardwood swamp, shrub swamp etc

Marsh: Wetlands mostly inundated with water leading to waterlogged soil

Soil: Organic and mineral soil

Vegetation: Hydrophytic plants adapted to waterlogged soil

Estuaries: Wetland regions enclosed by land one side where fresh water mixes with saline ocean water.

Soil: Saline alkaline soil

Vegetation: Mangrove trees

Rivers and lakes are water bodies that form a part of wetlands.

Rivers are flowing water bodies which flows through water current and picks up sediments as it flows.

Lakes are stationary water bodies that are enclosed by land mass on all its sides.

The wetlands act as a natural filter and receive all the sediments, pollutants etc which are dissolved in water and carried by the rivers and other water sources.

If blood pressure is too high what should homeostatic regulation do

Anastasy [175]

Homeostasis is one way our bodies maintain its parameters within the normal range of values. We can say that it is key to life. When homeostasis fail, it can lead to diseases like hypertension and diabetes. In homeostasis, there will be stabilization of blood pressure as well as maintenance of its steady resting state. Take this scenario as an example, if a person exercises, there will be an increase of the heart rate, which will also result to higher blood pressure. The process of homeostasis will then accommodate the body through different mechanisms to make the decrease of the heart rate possible and at the same time reduce the high blood pressure. It is through homeostatis by which the normal body functions are maintaned in order to sustain life.
