The appropriate answer is c. global warming. Global warming is an increase in the global temperature caused by the increased use of fossil fuels. Using fossil fuels since the industrial revolution has pumped extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than what would actually enter from natural processes. This extra carbon dioxide is increasing the green house effect and causing the temperature to increase.
Answer: B) It controls the autonomic nervous system and regulates hunger and thirst sensations.
A way we can reduce disadvantages of human made materials is simply by finding new uses for them such as when plastic is molded and used for a container of a liquid.
Answer:
B) realized niche
Explanation:
The ecological niche refers to all the environmental factors that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of species. These factors also include the interaction between species. The term ecological niche refers to the fundamental niche or the realized niche.
- The fundamental niche refers<u> only</u> to factors or physical conditions under which a species can live and survive in the <u>absence of any interaction with other species.
</u>
- The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of <u>environmental conditions and the interaction with other species</u><u>.
</u>
When an inferior competitor is excluded by the superior competitor, this is known as competitive exclusion. This occurs when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective or realized niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.
In the exposed example the organism is able to occupy a niche in the presence of competitors, which is the clue for us to classify this niche as a realized niche. The organism needs to interact in a certain way with its competitors. There is an interaction between taxonomic groups, or between individuals.
Answer:
It occurs in organisms because an organism with a beneficial trait/mutation have a higher chnace of surviving compared to organisms that do not. So the organsims that do survive pass on their genes to the next generation, and the bext generation will pass on those genes to the generation after and so on. But all the organisms that do not possess a beneficial trait/mutations will not survive, therefore they cannot reproduce and pass on those genes to their offspring. This means that most of the population will posses that trait/mutation.
Example: Spotted moths camouflage with bark so they are seen by predators and eaten. Black moths are easily seen by predators and are eaten. Spotted moths then pass on their genes to the next generation of moths.
