The decreasing wolf populations in North America can result to the <span>range expansion of coyotes

</span>
<span></span>Wolves and coyotes usually compete for prey, especially the smaller mammals. Wolves do not actively hunt coyotes but do attack them when the latter ventures into their territory.

With decreasing wolf populations, coyotes can then venture and hunt more freely. However, the coyotes cannot take the place of the wolves in helping maintain balance in the ecosystem in which they belong to because of their preference for smaller mammals.

Wolves can help regulate an ecosystem's larger mammals such as the ungulate populations, as they do not prey on the smaller mammals as much as coyotes do. This leaves more prey available for mid-level carnivores like foxes. Moreover, wolves also leave behind carcasses of their prey, which become food for other animals such as <span>foxes, badgers, raptors, coyotes and other scavengers.</span>

Why does an increased amount of biodiversity/complexity in an ecosystem allow it to respond better after a disturbance?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Higher biodiversity seems to be associated with a better response to disturbance events

Explanation:

Biodiversity means 'the variety of life'. Disturbance processes modify the environment and also affect demographic processes such as growth, recruitment, survivorship, etc., thereby producing changes in biodiversity. In an ecosystem, biodiversity contributes to its sustainability. In this regard, it has been shown that disturbance events are less important in species-rich ecosystems such as tropical wet forests compared to less rich ones (such as dry forests). The communities with higher biodiversity levels are known to be more productive in terms of biomass, and thus they seem to be more stable (and successful) to disturbance events.

C

The "Nucleus" contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or chromosomes and thus, controls cell growth and multiplication. It is also the site of DNA replication (formation of an identical copy of DNA).

While the "Golgi apparatus", or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

Which of the following is not a major function of the roots?
Finger [1]
<span>The correct answer is A. Photosynthesis. To conduct photosynthesis, you need chloroplasts and these are found in the leaves which is why the leaves are green. Roots don't have them and they aren't exposed to the sun and don't create energy using photosynthesis. They do however absorb nutrients from the soil.</span>
