When a population is
small in a habitat, its population growth is exponential. This means it doubles
its population with every generation. This is because there is plenty of resources
and little competition between individuals of the population. However, as the population
grows bigger, the population reaches carrying
capacity (the maximum number that the ecosystem can hold). The growth slows and
stagnates as stiff competition results to an equal death rate as birth rate.
Coastal mountains force cool, moist air from oceans to rise as it moves toward land. Clouds form, and precipitation falls on the <u>windward</u> side of the mountain. On the <u>leeward</u> side of the mountain, very little precipitation falls.
Answer:
Increase in kinetic energy of the gases
Explanation:
The direct sunlight will heat up the molecules making up the gases in the balloon.
Kinetic energy resulting from the heating of these particles will make them become randomized. They then begin to move more haphazardly colliding vigorously with themselves and the wall of balloon.
According to Charles's law "the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provided pressure remains constant" .
The sunlight heats the balloon and causes a rise in temperature. This will make the gas volume to increase and the balloon expands.
Answer: During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.
