Answer:

A. Building dams, deforestation cutting down trees), adding point sources to nearby streams to allow for run-off, building roads and structures, and salting roads.

Explanation:

Removing non-native species from the environment helps the native ants to thrive without having any changes in the ecosystem effect them (i.e. new invasive animal).

Creating laws to prohibit fishing from local streams helps keep the fish alive and allowing them to continue to use this stream.

Planting trees and other plants to attract native species helps secure and grow the ecosystem of that area.

This leaves A as the answer.

Hope that helps you!

Which of the following structures is NOT found in some prokaryotic cells?

WARRIOR [948]

The answer would be:

Cilium

Here is more about the structures of prokaryotic cells:

Axial filament is a bundle of flagella that are wrapped around the cell's body.

Flagellum is what the prokaryotic cell has that is whip-like in structure. It helps with the motility of the cell.

Pilus is a hair-like structure that are found on the surface of prokaryotic cells. They help the cell attach itself to surfaces.

Peritrichous flagella are several flagella that can be found all over some prokaryotic cells.

In 1985 a biologist counted 750 pine trees in a 250 hectare forest. Using similar counting techniques, the biologist counted 1,2

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Suppose that we have a given function f(x)

The average rate of change of the function between two values x₁ and x₂ is given by:

$r = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

a) We want to find the average (rate) of change on the size of population from 1985 to 1995.

We have that:

f(1985) = 750

f(1995) = 1500

Then we have:

$r = \frac{1500 - 750}{1995 - 1985} = 750/10 = 75$

This means that the population of trees increases, in average, at a rate of 75 trees per year.

b) What is the density of trees each year that they were counted?

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of trees and the area.

1985: number of trees = 750 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1985) = (750 pines)/(250 ha) = 3 pines/ha

So 1985, there were 3 pines per hectare.

1990: number of trees = 1250 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1990) = (1250 pines)/(250 ha) = 5 pines/ha

1995: number of trees = 1500 pines

area = 250 ha

The density is:

D(1995) = (1500 pines)/(250 ha) = 6 pines/ha

3) now we want to get the average change between 1985 and 1995 in the density, this will be:

$r = \frac{D(1995) - D(1885)}{1995 - 1985} = \frac{6 pines/ha - 3pines/ha}{10} = 0.3 pines/ha$

So, on average, each year the number of pines per hectare increases by 0.3

Which of the following is not a macromolecule?

Sindrei [870]

The correct answer is a - Lipid

Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.

Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only one molecule and are not macromolecuels.

Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
