Answer:

Explanation:

Environmental changes occurs from time to time, we have the short term changes that do not last for a very long time and the long term changes that last for a while. Accumulate of short term changes can extend to long term as some of the long term effects are as a results of short term changes in the environment.

Short term environment changes can be favourable to some organism and adversely affect others. Raining season causes increase in growth and development of most plant species but a long period of drought and dryness makes its hard for some plant to strive while some plants can strive well in long period of drought. This makes the two changes different, the both have individual effects on plants response.

Answer:

Both short & long-term changes can:

Cause changes in individula traits (adaptation) in current and future generations of populaions

Just much more likely in long-term

Can be catastrophic and result in disapperance of a population in an ecosystem

Can be caused by natural events and human activity

Can result in positive and negative effects on populations

Can lead to adaptations and natural selection of species

Differences:

Short term - Environmental changes that occur slowly over time and effects organisms over generations

More likely to cause changes in population traits (adaptation) because it is long-term

Short-term environmental change is an environmental change that occurs quickly and effects organisms immediately.

Lasts for a short period of time

Not likely to cause changes in traits (adaptation) in populations because it is short term

Long term - A long-term environmental changes are... climate change, droughts, deforestation, urbanization, Earth’s orbit, Sun’s intensity, Global Warming, radioactive waste/pollution, extinction of species this could happen to anyone of the food webs.

Last for long period of time.

Explanation:

A short-term environmental change is drought, smog, flooding, volcanic eruption, blizzards, and pollution. This could happen in any of the food webs. This can effect how species will have to have to adapt to their environment so that they can continue to live there and not die off.

A long-term environmental change is... ice age, deforestation, urbanization, Earth's orbit, Sun's intensity, global Warming, radioactive waste/pollution. Extinction of species could happen to anyone of the food webs in a long term change.

a period in which the densities of population increase or decrease at the same time. is called a?

polet [3.4K]

The answer would be D - boom and bust cycle. In a biological framework with two predator and two prey species, hypothesis predicts two manners by which the species' populace elements can end up coupled. On the off chance that the two predators eat both prey, at that point prey populaces will waver together, blasting when predators are uncommon and smashing when predators, looked with a prey excess, blast thus. In any case, if every predator eats a different prey, and the two prey species contend, hypothesis says the prey populaces will sway out of adjust from each other, as initial one, at that point alternate, commands assets.

In what way are pathogens similar to hormones and enzymes?<br> Can Somebody please help me thx :D

Serjik [45]

Background research to note if your unsure what some terms mean/are:

Hormones and Enzymes play a vital role in our body by controlling and regulating many functions.
Hormones are known as chemical messengers as they trigger many functions
Enzymes are catalysts as they affect the rate of a reaction
A Pathogen is a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease.

Answer:

Although something that is similar with all is all can trigger, control, and affect the body in some way.

Plants absorb light energy and store that energy in the form of what

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

1. Which is more likely to form a fossil-a turtle or a tarantula? Explain the reason for your choice.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Turtle

Explanation:

I would think a turtle because of its shell and bones. The shell or bones could leave an imprint in mud that could turn into a fossil or the bones/shell itself could become a fossil. (Because what do they find? dinosaur bones) A tarantula doesn't have bones, is much smaller, and I would think would disappear quickly once it dies.

Name one plate that the United States is on

BARSIC [14]

Hey there!

There are many throughout the world. They are the cause of a devastating natural disasters that you've probably heard of- an earthquake.

One very large one that covers up almost the entirety of North America is called the North American plate.

Hope this helps!
