Complete Question:
The carrying capacity of the environment for a species is determined by:
options:
(a) the reproductive rate of the organism.
(b) the number of organisms of that species.
(c) the state and national wildlife laws pertaining to that species.
(d) the age distribution of that species.
(e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Answer: (e) the limited availability of renewable resources in the environment and the environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism.
Explanation: The carrying capacity refers to the highest number of the species that the environment can cater for, in terms of food, space and other necessities that supports life.
Thus, the available of renewable resources (i.e resources that can be reused after consumption e.g water) in the environment, plays as a determinant of the highest number of individuals an environment can support (carrying capacity).
Furthermore, environmental resistance to the biotic potential of the organism, is also a determinant of the carrying capacity of organisms inhabiting that particular environment.
Answer:Transpiration
Explanation: water cycle is the continuous movement of water on the Earth to ensure the availability of water.water is a universal solvent that is essential for the survival of living things.water cycle ensure that clean water is available.plants require water which is gotten from the soil.water is lost from the leaves of trees through transpiration.transpiration may also occur through the lenticels and stomata of stems.
the movement of water through the plant is called transpiration pull.this is responsible for the pull of water into the leaves.it increases the absorption of minerals from the soil and also cools the plant.
This water vapour that transpire from the plant,is condense as clouds, which then falls to the Earth as rain and the water cycle continue
Mitosis makes two identical daughter cells and Meiosis makes gamete cells
Answer:
The correct answer would be "The female cone releases its seeds and new sporophytes grow".
Conifers are sporophytes with two types of cones; pollen cones and ovulate cone.
The pollen cones are smaller in size and produce microspores which would develop into the pollen grains.
The ovulate cones are larger in size which produce megaspores which would develop into ovule.
The two gametes fertilized to produce a diploid zygote which develops into the embryo.
The fertilization takes place in the ovule and thus, embryo or seed is developed in the female cone.
The female cone then releases its seed which grows into a new sporophyte.
