Indicator species may provide useful substitute for large scale surveys to monitor biodiversity. Weconducted surveys in the Afro-alpine habitats of the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) with theobjective of identifying indicators for the species richness of the raptor guild. Raptors were countedby scan sampling technique from a suitable vintage point. Three classes of 18 sample units groupedaccording to the variability of the moorland ecosystem in the magnitude of process variables importantfor raptor species richness were used in determining the indicator value of species as a function of their abundance concentration and the percentage of species occurrence per sample group. Thisprocedure determined indicator values for all species in the resident raptor community. Comparisonwith randomly expected values demonstrated that only<span> Aquila verreauxii</span>and<span> A. chrysaetos</span>haveindicator values that were significantly larger than the randomly expected values. The species richnessestimated using the abundances of these two species predicted the observed species richness of thewhole community in a linear regression model that explained 66% of the deviance in the data set.Furthermore, the species richness of the community predicted by process variables had correlation of very high significance with that predicted by the indicator species. We have thus identified twoindicator species to a raptor guild of the BMNP and demonstrated that these two species encapsulatedmost of the information regarding the species richness response of the guild to key process variablesin the Afro-alpine moorland ecosystem. Our findings contribute significantly to current and futureefforts of monitoring the biodiversity of the park providing a cheap and quick means of data generation<span>relevant for making management decisions. Hope this helped! :)</span>
Answer: Nutrition
Explanation: Nutrients are the essential nourishments for growth and the maintenance of life.
Answer:
Transitional fossils show how a particular taxa accumulated adaptations to fit particular environments and/or ecological niches
Explanation:
Transitional fossils are fossilized remains of taxonomic groups/species that illustrate an evolutionary transition between a known version of a taxa/species and the current taxa/species. Transitional fossils are fundamental because they can be clearly differentiated from the ancestral group as well as of its derived descendant group. For example, there exist transitional fossils known as "mammal-like reptiles"(i.e., therapsids that gave rise to the true mammals), which are clearly different from current mammals.
Answer:
21.81grams
Explanation:
According to the question, an agar medium requires the following ingredients: 21 grams (g) of
agar, 500 mg of dextrose, 3 dg of sodium, and 1 cg of potassium per 1,000 milliliters (mL) of distilled water.
Hence, the dry ingredient contain 21grams (g) of agar, 500milligrams (mg) of dextrose, 3decigrams (dg) of Sodium, and 1centigrams (cg) of pottasium.
We need to convert all units (not in grams (g)) to grams.
1grams = 1000milligrams
500 milligrams = 500/1000
= 0.500grams.
1grams = 10decigrams
3decigrams = 3/10
= 0.3grams
1grams = 100centigrams
1centigrams = 1/100
= 0.01 grams
Therefore, we have 21g, 0.500g, 0.3g, and 0.01g
The total dry weight of the ingredients will be:
21 + 0.500 + 0.3 + 0.01
= 21.81grams
The answer is B, osmosis is the movement of water. Diffusion is the movement to chemicals and molecules.
Both osmosis and diffusion are movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration of the substance moving to lower concentration down the concentration gradient. However, osmosis is only for the movement of water molecules, while diffusion is for any type of substances including liquid or gas. So we can also say osmosis is a type of diffusion actually.
And also, both of these movement of molecules does not require extra energy, they all happen due to natural tendency.
