The answer would be both A and B (: Which is C.
Answer:
C. Point B
Explanation:
The exposed curve represents a logistic growth model. Population growth depends on density. Natality and mortality depend on the population size, meaning that there is no independence between population growth and population density.
When a population grows in a limited space, density rises gradually and eventually affects the multiplication rate. The population per capita growth rate decreases as population size increases. The population reaches a maximum point delimited by available resources, such as food or space. This point is known as the carrying capacity, K.
K is a constant that equals population size at the equilibrium point, in which the natality and the mortality rate get qual to each other.
Referring to population size as N, when
- N<K, the population can still grow.
- N approximates to K, the population´s growth speed decreases.
- N=K the population reaches equilibrium,
- N>K, the population must decrease in size because there are not enough resources to maintain that size.
The sigmoid curve represents the logistic growth model.
- Point A: During this period, the population size is relatively stable. Little growth is expressed.
- Point B: At the beginning of this period, population growth increases softly. The more individuals are in the population, the more that reaches sexual maturity and get to reproduce, leaving fertile offspring. This fertile offspring also get to reproduce and leave more fertile individuals. At the end of the period, the curve shows a sharp slope, reflecting the significant increase in the population reproductive rate.
- Point C: At the beginning of this period, the population keeps on growing exponentially. But at the end of the period, the curve tends to stabilize, meaning that the population stops growing in size so fast. The population slow and gradually reaches the equilibrium point, K.
- Point D: The population got to stabilize.
The correct option is D.
Parietal cells are the epithelial cells which secrete hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factors. The cells are located in the gastric glands which are found in the linings of the walls of the stomach. The hydrochloric acid produced by the parietal cells helps in the conversion of the enzyme pepsinogen to pepsin during the digestion process.
Answer:
Functions of vascular bundle: Transportation of water and minerals from roots to other plant parts and leaves. Transportation of food from leaves to all other plant parts.

The answer is invasive species.
<span>Invasive species are species that are not native to the specific ecosystem, but they are capable of spreading widely through the ecosystem. This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm.

<span>After being introduced into the
Hawaiian Islands, the cane toads greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they
have a few natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond
the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can
overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity.
This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>
