Hi!
The correct option would be A. There's lower biodiversity among birds
Biodiversity refers to the variety of organisms (species) that inhabit a particular place, such as in our case different species of birds.
From the graph we can see that over time, the bird species are declining. From roughly 1700 bird species, the number has fallen to about 200 bird species by the middle of the fourth year.
Hence, we can deduce, and it would be accurate to say, that there is a relatively lower biodiversity amongst the birds with regard to that in the beginning.
Option B is incorrect because if the birds had a higher reproductive rate, they would be able to make up for the loss of bird species from the habitat. From the graph, we can assume that there's a moderately low reproductive rate among the birds.
Option C is incorrect because we do not know the affect of this pollution on the producers (photosynthesizing plant lifeforms). It may be possible that they might be declining, but we cannot conclude that solely from the graph.
Hope this helps!
Correct answer - C Phenotype.
Why? - Phenotype, all the observable characteristics of an organism that result from the interaction of its genotype (total genetic inheritance) with the environment. Examples of observable characteristics include behaviour, biochemical properties, colour, shape, and SIZE.
Answer:
It would be 100% purple flowers because 4 quarters equals 1.00 and it would be 50% white flowers because 2 quarters equals 50
Answer:
20% plus 20% is 40% of adennine and thymine. From 100% DNA bases subtract 40% and you will get 60%. Then divide this by 2 and you will get 30%. 30% of guanine and 30% of cytosine, because their amounts are equal in the DNA stand.
Answer:
Both inhalation and exhalation depend on pressure gradients between the lungs and atmosphere, as well as the muscles in the thoracic cavity.
Explanation:
The thoracic cavity, or chest cavity, always has a slight, negative pressure which aids in keeping the airways of the lungs open. During the process of inhalation, the lung volume expands as a result of the contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles (the muscles that are connected to the rib cage), thus expanding the thoracic cavity. Due to this increase in volume, the pressure is decreased, based on the principles of Boyle’s Law. This decrease of pressure in the thoracic cavity relative to the environment makes the cavity pressure less than the atmospheric pressure. This pressure gradient between the atmosphere and the thoracic cavity allows air to rush into the lungs; inhalation occurs. The resulting increase in volume is largely attributed to an increase in alveolar space because the bronchioles and bronchi are stiff structures that do not change in size.During this process, the chest wall expands out and away from the lungs. The lungs are elastic; therefore, when air fills the lungs, the elastic recoil within the tissues of the lung exerts pressure back toward the interior of the lungs. These outward and inward forces compete to inflate and deflate the lung with every breath. Upon exhalation, the lungs recoil to force the air out of the lungs. The intercostal muscles relax, returning the chest wall to its original position. During exhalation, the diaphragm also relaxes, moving higher into the thoracic cavity. This increases the pressure within the thoracic cavity relative to the environment. Air rushes out of the lungs due to the pressure gradient between the thoracic cavity and the atmosphere. This movement of air out of the lungs is classified as a passive event since there are no muscles contracting to expel the air.
