Answer:
A. Limits to resources exist for a population
Explanation:
<em>The explanation that fits the growth curve would be that there exist limits to the resources available for the population.</em>
As a result of limited resources, a population is prevented from reaching its biotic potential and confines the population growth model to logistic rather than exponential.
The limited resources keeps the population around the carrying capacity of the environment, that is, the maximum population size an environment can support based on the resources it has.
<u>A newly established population usually experience a short period of exponential growth. As a result of continuous competition for resources, the population becomes limited and begins to oscillate around the carrying capacity of the environment.</u>
The correct option is A.
I think that the tectonic plates would shift towards each other. This creates what is known as a convergent boundary. If the plates moved away, then this would be known as a divergent boundary. If it is wrong, I am terribly sorry. I did this question on a quiz before, and I think I got it right. It was in 8th grade though, so... two years ago.
Answer:
C.
The matter is converted to energy and carbon molecules.
Explanation:
Matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
Matter can, however be degraded, melted, solidified, etc.
Eating something converts potential energy from the matter into chemical energy to power one's body, like the squirrel. The matter is not destroyed, however, and there are carbon molecules and other nutrients in the squirrel's body that are remnants of the acorn.
Answer:
Water moves into the roots from the soil by osmosis, due to the low solute potential in the roots (lower Ψs in roots than in soil). This intake of water in the roots increases Ψp in the root xylem, driving water up.
