Answer: Density-independent factor Any factor limiting the size of a population whose effect is not dependent on the number of individuals in the population. An example of such a factor is an earthquake, which will kill all members of the population regardless of whether the population is small or large.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:

"Which of the following is a density-independent limiting factor?

a. earthquake , b. disease , c. emigration , d. parasitism"

Answer:

a. earthquake

Explanation:

Density-independent factors are those that are not influenced by the number of individuals in a population. Climate variables are a good example of this type of factor, but we can also cite the emergence of disease, migration and parasitism. These factors tend to cause sometimes drastic variations in population density. The carrying capacity of an environment can be influenced by these factors. Density-independent factors are most important in physically stressed ecosystems.

An earthquake is not an independent factor of density.

A researcher proposes a model of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in which a reactant is converted to a product. The model is based
lions [1.4K]

Answer: The answer is B: The enzyme's active site binds to and stabilizes the transition state, which decreases the activation energy of the reaction.

Explanation: An enzyme is a biological molecule which speeds up the rate of chemical reactions in the body (reactions within cells). They are proteins.

    The transition state is the transition from substrate to product. The molecule is no longer a substrate but also not yet a product.

The enzyme is able to speed up the reaction by stabilizing the transition state. The transition state's energy is also the activation energy in terms of reaction. The activation energy is the minimum energy that is required to break some bonds of the reactants in order to turn them to products.

Explain how the water cycling through the atmosphere and hydrosphere affects weather and climate. Contrast weather and climate.
masya89 [10]
First, weather is the atmospheric condition occurring over a short period of time in a relatively small location. Climate, on the other hand, is the overall environmental condition over extended periods of time. Next, the water cycle is when water from the surface evaporates as water vapor under high temperatures and condenses in the atmosphere under lower temperatures and precipitates back to the surface. In the event that water evaporates more than it condenses then the weather will be warm to hot, the ground will be relatively dry, and drought over extender periods of time may ensue. On the other hand, if water condenses and precipitates more than it evaporates, then there will be a rainy season, and may extremely lead to landslides and floods.
