Options:

  • a lake
  • a prairie
  • the land an organic farmer uses to raise crops to feed his dairy cattle
  • a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Answer:

a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Explanation:

The land a farmer uses is likely to be quite highly regulated in order to ensure that his dairy cattle thrive. That means the growth of certain plants will be controlled, and this will likely impact diversity.

A lake and a prairie could have diverse and balanced ecosystems. However, due to the limited habitat are likely only to harbour specific organisms. E.g. the lake will only harbor organisms that thrive in water environments.

A large island will, first of all, have a lot of space to support diversity. It is in the tropics, meaning it will have species suited to a hot and wet environment. Since it is an island, there will also be the involvement of sea/ocean dwelling creatures. However, there is also mountainous habitat that has snow, meaning it is high up and cold. This provides a habitat for even more species adapted to different environments.

Therefore, the island will be the most diverse.

Answer:

a large island in the tropics that has snow-capped mountains

Explanation:

A tropical land area/ecosystem will by far have the greatest diversity in the ecosystem.

Biodiversity is the variation of life forms in an area. This is usually a function of the number of lives an area can support.

  • The tropics have abundant energy and the net production is very high.
  • Since there is availability of food for most organisms, different life form will find it easy to thrive in such an area.
  • Tropical regions of the world are the most biodiverse in the world with a rich fauna and floral abundance.

Sponges have no nerve tissue or sense organs.explain why this means that sponges have no cephalisation.
arlik [135]
Cephalization is the differentiation of end part of the body into a head in which nerve tissue is concentrated. Sponges have a very loose nervous system and their cells work individually, not controlled by a nervous system. Since they have no defined head as a consequence of concentrated nervous system, the sponges could not have cephalization either.

<span>The absence of the predator in the experimental plots led to a rise in population of the two species hence suppressing the other species since they were the prey of the Sea stars. But when the sea stars were present, they maintained a balance in the species diversity by feeding on Mussel and Barnacle species.</span>

A computer simulation showing models of planes crashing is a good way to study the effects of plane safety.why?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Flight simulators are widely used for pilot training in the aviation industry, military pilot training, simulation of disasters or failures in flight, and aircraft development.

These simulations are used for pilot training, whose essential function is to train the crew in normal, abnormal and emergency procedures, before and during flight, practicing innumerable situations, such as: failures in electronic systems, loss of power, tailwinds and many others, which cannot be done safely with an aircraft in real situations. Explains to the new pilots the movements and attitudes of the ships, becoming a fundamental part of the training, saving lives and large economic losses.

These simulations allow knowing the causes of each plane crash in order to modify the operating procedures and training, so that its repetition is avoided. Flight safety investigations are complex and analyze numerous factors, and rather than investigating the persons responsible, it tries to find out the causes of the incident, considering human factors and technical issues.
