Biology

Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Weathering: Weathering occurs in situ (on site, with little or no movement), and should not be confused with erosion, which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity. Weathering processes are divided into physical and chemical weathering.

erosion: Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost shattering. ... The sediment is dropped, or deposited, in landforms.

deposition: Deposition is the processes where material being transported by a river is deposited. Deposition occurs when a river loses energy. This can be when a river enters a shallow area (this coud be when it floods and comes into contact with the flood plain) or towards its mouth where it meets another body of water.

Engage/Daily Bellringer - The graph provided shows the population of an organism
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

carrying capacity

Explanation:

<em>The leveling off is an indication of the carrying capacity of the environment.</em>

<u>By definition, the carrying capacity of an environment is the total number of organism of particular species that an environment can support given the resources it has.</u>

When a particular species of organism is introduced into a new environment, it first of all spend some time trying to adjust to this new environment and this time is characterized by little population growth.

After successfully adjusting and getting acclimatized to the new environment, the population of the organism experiences a sharp rise and then levels off as the maximum population size the environment can support based on the resources it has is reached. This jund of population growth is referred to as logistic growth.

The population of the organism fluctuates a little bit around the carrying capacity based on several factors, especially competition for resources.

Sedaia [141]

These organelles group together to eventually form cells, or the basic units of all living things.

Organelles are specialized structures in the cytoplasm of cells which provide essential cell functions and are composed of different molecules (macromolecules). Cells as the smallest basic units of life are then grouped in tissues (similar cells which provide a specific function), layers of different tissues work together to provide specific function and form organ, organ group in organ systems which then compose the whole organism.
