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.

Explain how the fossil record indicates a long history of changing life forms.
sergey [27]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Fossil: is preserved pre historic life form present under ground at high pressure for a long time.Animal die and burried under layers of sediments.

It provides evidence about the history of life on earth. It also shows  different groups of organisms, including species,that have changed over time. Because the formation of any fossil depends upon the precise combination of conditions.

As the world changes, plants and animals change with time . From fossils we compare organisms of modern time with ancient , the species we see today are very different from species that lived in the past. Thus, the fossil record can be used to show that organisms changed to meet new condition.

The nurse considers that a 70-year-old female client can best limit further progression of osteoporosis by doing what?
Alenkinab [10]
The nurse considers that a 70-year-old female client can best limit further progression of osteoporosis by taking supplement which contains vitamin D and calcium. Osteoporosis is a bone condition where one develops a fragile bone that is very susceptible to fracture. Causes for this condition can be genetics, lack of physical activity, insufficient amount vitamin D and calcium in the body, smoking and many other. This condition does not have any symptoms with it until fractures in the bones happen. One way to prevent or decrease the chances of developing it to serious cases is to supply your body the right nutrients and vitamins.
