The data showed that recently the alligator population has decreased. How could the decrease in the alligator population affect

the other populations? Be sure to explain whether the gar population, the diving duck population, and the crab population will change, and why.

Answer:

Since the alligator population decreased, this means there are less predators for the gar. Less predators for the gar mean the gar population will increase. More gar means more predators for the crabs, and therefore decrease the crab population. More gar also means more competition for the diving duck in terms of animals that eat crabs, and thus the diving duck population will also decrease.

Explanation:

To fully understand this question it is important to realize the relationship in this food web. It is important to note that the alligators will eat gar, the gar will eat crab, and the diving duck also eat carb. If the predator population decreases, then the amount of prey will be able to increase since there are less predators hunting them. If the predator population were to increase, there would be less prey, since more predators are hunting them.

The gar will increase since there are less alligators, the crabs will decrease since there are now more gar to eat them, the duck will increase since now there is less crab to eat them

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.

Why does the earth have different layers?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The earth has different layers because as it formed, the lighter parts (like continental crust) floated to the surface, and the really heavy parts (like iron and nickel in the core) sank to the middle. It is just like when you mix oil and water: the oil will float to the surface because it is lighter (or less dense) than the water.
