A scientist was studying a population of elephants. The first year, he counted a population of 80. Over the next eight years, th

e population's numbers were 94, 100, 103, 110, 125, 120, 125, 120. What appears to be the carrying capacity for this population? 120 124 125 126

Answer:

125

Explanation:

The correct option would be 125.

<em>The carrying capacity of a particular environment generally refers to the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that the environment can support at a particular time based on the resources it has. Hence, the maximum population of a species will normally oscillate around the carrying capacity of the environment where it is found. </em>

In the case of the elephants in the illustration, the maximum population recorded was 125. The population decreased from this value at some point only to increased back to it later.

<u>Hence, the carrying capacity for the elephant is 125.</u>

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

There is no control group and variables were not addressed.

Explanation:

In the context, it is given that there is a dumping ground in a small town called Love Canal and harmful chemical waste of industries are dumped there. Lately, it is noticed that there were traces of the toxic substances on the walls of the schools and the hospitals. The hospitals also noticed that during the period of 1970 to 1980, there were increase in the number of the birth defects in the area. The people of the Love Canal has genetic abnormalities and the chemical waste is responsible for it.

Refrigerating or freezing foods will kill most or all bacteria present in the food. refrigerating or freezing foods will kill mo
ExtremeBDS [4]

<u>Answer</u>: Option b false

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Refrigerating or freezing foods <em>does not kill all or most of the bacteria</em> in the food as lowering the temperatures of the food only renders the microbes present in it <em>inactive</em>. As soon as the food is brought back to normal temperature, the microorganisms present in it become active again.
  • The advantage of freezing food is only limited to the fact that once the food is frozen, all the microbes be it fungus, bacteria etc. become inactive and do not multiply and thus, freezing prolongs the shelf life of food, however once this food is thawed the micro organisms again become active  and start multiplying and can easily cause food borne illness.
  • So, the only way to kill the micro organisms present in the food is to cook the food to correct temperatures and not freezing.
