Minerals have an ordered internal atomic arrangement which means that the atoms which make up the mineral are arranged in an ordered geometric pattern or also known as the crystal structure. Thus, it can be concluded that all minerals are crystals. The crystal structure is the same for the same type of mineral. For example, every piece of quartz found anywhere have the same crystalline structure.

B. A family of foxes arrived on the island after the rabbits were released. No

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The carrying capacity is affected by dense dependent and dense independent factors. 1) During the fourth year. 2) Negative impact. K decreased from 200 to 100 rabbits.

<h3>What is carrying capacity?</h3>

Carrying capacity -K- is the capability of the environment to support a growing population.

It is a constant that coincides with the population size at which natality and mortality rates are equal. This is the equilibrium point.

Commonly, environments have limited resources, and as the population grows, resources are consumed faster, leading to an increase in the competition rate.

Per capita growth rate decreases as population size, N, increases.

If the N < K, the population can still grow.

• When N approximates to K, the population's growth speed decreases.

• When N = K, the population reaches equilibrium,

• When N > K, the population must decrease in size because there are not enough resources to maintain that size.

The carrying capacity might be affected by limiting factors, which might be

density dependent (for example, competition, predation, etcetera)

density independent. This last case refers to dense-independent factors, among which we can mention human impact or natural disasters (fires, volcanic eruption, flooding).

In the exposed example, when referring to rabbit's carrying capacity, we can assume it is limmited by intraspecific competition and by predation.

Population size between the 1st and 2nd years

At first we can see that during the first two years, the number of rabbits increased until it was a little bit over 200 individuals.

Population size between the years 2, 3 and 4

During the second, third, and fourth year, the number of rabbits was kept around 200 individuals, which leads us to assume that K = 200 rabbits.

Population size the fourth year

However, in the fourth year, there was a sharp decrease in the number of rabbits. Probably this event was due to the arrival of foxes (predators) on the island.

Population size after the fourth year

In the presence of foxes, the number of rabbits varied around 100 (K = 100).

According to this information, we can assume that only intraspecific competition (related to resources) had a significant role during the first years.

But with the foxes' arrival, the rabbits' carrying capacity decreased from 200 to 100, meaning that, during the following years, predation strongly influenced the rabbits' carrying capacity.

1) During what year did the foxes most likely arrive?

During the fourth year

2) How did the arrival of the fox family impact the carrying capacity of the rabbit population on this island?

Foxes had a negative impact on the foxes' carrying capacity. It decreased from k = 200 to k = 100 since the foxes arrival to the island.

HELP QUICKLY Why are the deepest high tides so deep and the shallowest low tides so shallow? Hint: how are the Earth, Sun, and M

Vikki [24]

There are different kinds of tides. This change occur because when the gravitational pull of the sun works along with the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth, it leads to the oceans bulging out.

This result above makes the high tides as been little higher and low tides been little lower than normal.

Spring tides are known to be the deepest as oceans levels are highest in this kind of tide. The neap tides are known to be the shallowest.

This often occurs when the moon, earth, and sun are said to be at a right-angled plane. Therefore, the gravitation pull of the moon and sun on the oceans do counteract each other making its net effect is smaller.

Medicines in the body interact with the body proteins. how might normal variations in your genes affect your response to differe

Nonamiya [84]

Small, but normal variations in genes may produce proteins that work differently from those of other individuals ( friends or relatives). This may affect how we respond to different medicines. The extent to which these proteins functions varies from one individual to another. Example; certain painkillers only work when body proteins convert them from an inactive form to an active one. If these proteins work too fast, the drug will be eliminated from the body before it has time to work. To do their job the pain killers need to bind and modulate a target body protein, the receptor, such that if the target body protein is altered the pain killer might not be able to bind.
