Answer: (c) A local wolf population experiences a lethal epidemic of parvovirus.
Explanation:
A limiting factor is one which is capable of limiting the population of the species. It can be a living factor or a non-living factor.
The density dependent limiting factor is a factor which affects the population of a species depending upon the size of the population. There are many density dependent limiting factors such as disease, migration, predation and food.
C is the correct option, this is because of the fact that the epidemic outbreak can spread over to the large number of members of the population. If larger the population size more likely will be the chances of spreading.
B. Because a physical reaction is a change that can be seen. This particular situation is happening over a period of time, it isn’t something that happens instantly. Also I it would have been a chemical reaction, it would have mentioned something about the state of an element or the temperature or something along those lines.
Answer:
Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed. Barrier islands are a specific type of island that lie parallel to the coastline of a larger mainland. They are separated from shore by a bay, lagoon or sound and because of where they are situated, they protect the coast from being directly impacted by storm waves or winds.
Explanation:
Answer:
Once the concentration gradient no longer exists, particles will continue to diffuse due to random motion.
Explanation:
When there is a permeable membrane between two solutions with different concentrations, the concentration gradient will go from the compartment with more particles to the one with fewer particles to valance the concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Once the concentrations are equal, particles will still randomly move from one side to the other, but the number of particles that move to one side is almost the same as the number of particles that move to the other, so there is still valance and the same concentration in both sides.
