A forest has a stable population of approximately 100 great horned owls. The owls nest in hollow trees, eat small animals, and h

ave no predators. One year, a large new housing development is built, destroying half of the forest. How will this impact the carrying capacity of the forest and the owl population within the forest?
  A. The carrying capacity will increase and the owl population will increase.
  B. The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease.
  C. The carrying capacity will increase and the owl population will decrease.
  D. The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will increase.

The correct answer is B. The carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease.

Explanation:

In ecology, the carrying capacity refers to the number of organisms an ecosystem or area can sustain because it provides water, shelter, food, etc. This carrying capacity decreases due to the destruction of habitat or natural disasters that reduces the resources or habitable area.

This implies, in the case presented, the carrying capacity of the forest will decrease because the resources on in for owls are reduced to half due to housing development. Besides this, it is expected the owl population decreases because with less food, water, and other resources such as trees to nest ess owls will survive and reproduce. Thus, in this case, "the carrying capacity will decrease and the owl population will decrease".

sdas [7]

Explanation:

A change that does not cause any change in chemical composition of a substance is known as a physical change.

For example, mass, density, volume etc are all physical changes.

On the other hand, a change that brings change in chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical change.

For example, combustion, toxicity, reactivity etc are all chemical changes.

Hence, following statements are identified as chemical or physical changes as follows.

(a) Oxygen gas supports combustion : Chemical change

(b) Fertilizers help to increase agricultural production : Chemical change

(c) Water boils below 100^{o}C on top of a mountain : Physical change

(d) Lead is denser than aluminum : Physical change

(e) Uranium is a radioactive element : Chemical change

An element A combines with element B. The electrons are transferred from the atom A to the atom B. .
Sloan [31]

(a) The nature of bond between A and B is an ionic bond.

(b) The two main properties of the ionic compounds are:

  • Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break.
  • The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions.

(c) If the ionic compound is dissolved in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions.

An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation—a positively charged ion.

In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution.

Given a balanced chemical equation it is always possible to determine
Alborosie

Answer:

C)  the relative number of moles taking part in the reaction

Explanation:

From a balanced chemical equation, it is always possible to determine the relative number of moles taking part in a chemical reaction.

The number of moles is the amount of the reacting specie that makes up a chemical reaction.

  • In balanced chemical equation, the number of moles of reactants and products must be the same.
  • From this understanding, we can determine the amount of reactants and products needed for a chemical reaction to take place.

Doing an experiment about electroplating, you attempt to coat silver in gold using a basic electroplating set-up. You take the m
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

it’s mass was greater than when it started

Explanation:

When a metal is coated with another metal, the plating metal deposits on the plated metal. Usually, the plating metal functions as the anode while the plated metal functions on the cathode. The anode metal is oxidized and reduced at the cathode and become deposited on the cathode material. This increases the mass of the cathode. Hence the mass of the silver/gold product is greater than the mass of silver at the beginning of the electroplating process.
