Which of the following is not a natural cause of extinction?

Biology
1 answer:
dedylja [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Introduction of Non-native species would be the answer. ( B )

Explanation:

Now let's break it down.

A. Competition due to overpopulation

Competition due to overpopulation, as competition of resources rises, species will fight among each other, and slowly, population will go down. But I don't see the reason of why it would cause an extinction... perhaps a decrease of population. See, once populations starts decreasing, resources will increase. And ONCE resources increase, populations starts increasing, and there goes competition. Resources decreases, populations decreases, and the whole process repeats. So I'm not quite sure whether it will cause extinction of a species.

B. Introduction of Non- native species.

So what does it mean by Non-native species?

It means that species that have no effect and doesn't exist in the ecosystem. So that will definitely not affect the population whatsoever.

C. Catastrophic Events

Well, common sense. Many people died of tsunamis, tornado and other natural disasters every year. Too many disasters can cause the population to cease.

D. Disease

This we can relate, especially the Coronavirus. Many humans died of the deadly virus. Same goes to animals. If a disease gets too deadly, population will decrease and drive the species to extinction.

So, the Answer would be B.

Why is it important to stain youngcultures of bacteria with<br> the grain stain?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Because older cultures of gram-positive bacteria tend to lose their ability to retain crystal-violet in the peptidoglycan of their cell walls and can be confused with gram-negative bacteria.

Explanation:

Gram staining is used to differentiate between two major groups of bacteria. Gram-positive and gram-negative, these bacteria differ in the amount of peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Gram-positive bacteria have a higher amount of peptidoglycan, which absorbs the violet crystal complex used in gram staining, staining them purple/violet. Old cultures of gram-positive bacteria tend to lose the ability to retain the violet crystal and are stained by safranine, staining them red/pink and appear to be gram-negative.

Why the horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercised.
user100 [1]

Answer:

The horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercise because they suffered from Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

Explanation:

A temporary shortage of oxygen in the body tissues during physical exertion such as exercise or a sudden burst of activity is referred to as oxygen shortage.

Horses (compared to humans) are uniquely designed to experience little or none of this.

When the body takes up oxygen, it reacts with glucose to produce energy. This is called Aerobic respiration.

There is also another procedure that the body uses to produce energy. This occurs when glucose is broken down in the cells. After this happens, lactic acid is created but cannot be stored in the body and must be expelled.

This interval when energy is produced without the presence of oxygen is called "oxygen debt".

When a horse is fit, its breathing quickly returns to normal. The longer the time taken for the breathing to return to normal, the less fit the horse is.

One of the factors that can reduce the fitness of a horse is the Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

This occurs when blood vessle in the lung ruptures causing blood to bleed into the airways. So blood occupies space where oxygen should have. This reduced the amount of oxygen delivered to the blood stream. Hence the oxygen debt takes longer to be repaid.

Cheers

All Nucleotide elements
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The phosphate groups allow the nucleotides to link together, creating the sugar-phosphate backbone of the nucleic acid while the nitrogenous bases provide the letters of the genetic alphabet. These components of nucleic acids are constructed from five elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous.

List the two types of fermentation AND tell where each takes place.
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

There are two types of fermentation, alcoholic and lactic acid. Fermentation follows glycolysis in the absence of oxygen. Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+.
