If hunting continues and drastically reduces the deer population, how might this impact the hawk population?

1 answer:

5 0

Well, considering if the deer and the hawk have a direct predator prey relationship, where the deer are the prey, then the hawk population will also drop quite a lot, unless they have some other major food sources, but chances are they'll still drop.

If it's NOT a direct predator prey situation, for example: The deer happen to eat something that the hawks also eat, or the deer are prey for something the hawks eat:
If the deer eat something the hawks eat, by them dropping it means there will be more food supply for the hawks, meaning as the deer population drops, the hawk population will go up.

If the deer are PREY to something the hawk eats, then by there being less deer, then whatever the primary consumer of the deer is will also drop. If the hawk eats that predator, then there will be less of those predators, and less prey, meaning the hawk population will still drop

You were most likely given a food web to look at. Seeing how you didn't post that, I just gave you the only 3 situations that could happen.

~Hope this helps!

Four examples of the effects of environmental change are given. Match each one with the type of environmental change it demonstr

Vikki [24]

Answer: The answers are matched as follows:

African forests have been hunted to near extinction levels to obtain ivory-------------->human exploitation

The eruption of mount Saint Helens destroyed some populations of conifers------> natural disasters

An infection with a fungus reduced the population of North American Elm trees ----> disease

Increasing global temperatures have altered migration patterns of humpback whales ------>climate change

Explanation:

Human exploitation is the unethical or selfish use of resources to satisfy their own personal needs or for any profitable activity which harms the resources in such a way that they get limited. Humans have been hunting elephants to obtain ivory for many purposes such as making jewellery etc. and earning profits from it. Due to such extensive hunting they have driven the elephants to a level of extinction and thus, this is a form of human exploitation.

Mount Saint Helens is a volcano and its eruption which harms the population of the trees in the area is a form of natural disaster since volcanic eruption is a natural phenomena.

Fungal infection is a disease which is cause by the microorganisms which harms the population of the Elm trees.

Increase of global temperature is a type of climate change and thus, this effect of alteration of migration pattern is caused by climate change.

if the ratio of the ages of kisii and esinam is 3:5 and that of Esinam and Larry is 3:5 and the sum of the ages of all three is

larisa [96]

Answer:

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

The ratio of the ages of Kisii (K) and Esinam (E) is 3:5.

The ratio of the ages of Esinam (E) and Larry (L) is 3:5.

The sum of the ages of all three is 147.

Since the age of Esinam is common in both ratios, we find the lowest common multiple (LCM);

LCM of 3,5 = 15.

Hence, the ratio of the three ages is now;

K:E:L = 9:15:25

Let their ages be denoted by x;

$K:E:L = 9x:15x:25x$

The sum of all three ages is;

9x + 15x + 25x = 147

49x = 147

x = 147/49

x = 3.

To find the age difference between the oldest and the youngest;

The oldest is Esinam = 25x

The youngest is Kisii = 9x

Therefore, 25x - 9x = 16x

Substituting the value of x, we have;

x = 3; 16x = 16(3) = 48.

The age difference between the oldest and the youngest is 48.

Which of the structures is surrounded by the connective tissue sheath known as the perimysium?

ahrayia [7]

Answer: Muscle fibers in bundles or fascicles.

Explanation:

Skeletal striated muscle is involved in dense unshaped connective tissue, the Epimysium. From the epimysium depart fine septa of connective tissue to the muscle, separating the bundles and constituting the perimysium, carrying blood vessels and lymphatics and nerves. Every muscle cell is involved in the basal lamina, reticular fibers and a small amount of connective tissue, which form the endomysium. It anchors muscle fibers between them and contains blood capillaries and axons.

How do chemical stains make light microscopes more useful

anastassius [24]

When a specimen is to be observed under the light microscope, scientists usually stain the specimens using different type of chemical stains depending on the type of specimen to be observed. Staining of specimen make the structures that are to be observed in the specimen very visible under the microscope, this make it easy for scientists to observe their structures.
