Your friend comes to you with a problem. It seems his shrimp boats aren't catching nearly as much shrimp as they used to. He can

't understand why because he used to catch all the shrimp he could handle. Each year he added a new boat, and for a long time each boat caught tons of shrimp. As he added more boats, there came a time when each boat caught somewhat fewer shrimp, and now, each boat is catching a lot less shrimp. Which of the following topics might help your friend understand the source of his problem?
A) density-dependent population regulation and intrinsic characteristics of population growth
B) exponential growth curves and unlimited environmental resources
C) density-independent population regulation and chance occurrence
D) pollution effects of a natural environment and learned shrimp behavior
E) a K-selected population switching to an r-selected population

The correct answer is A. Density-dependent population regulation an intrinsic characteristic of population growth.

Explanation

Density-dependent population regulation includes factors such as diseases, predation, or competence that limit the growth of a population depending on the size of it (density). In the case presented, predation is the factor that affects the shrimp population because more boats and more shrimp imply more predation from humans. Additionally, this excessive predation limits the growth of the shrimp population and causes the depletion of shrimp over time. According to the above, the correct answer is A. Density-dependent population regulation an intrinsic characteristic of population growth.

Which of the following properties of carbon give it particular importance to life
olga55 [171]

I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)

Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.

Describe how environmental change can impact ecosystem stability
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Environmental change results in the environmental ecosystem to be able to adapt to a new environment to survive the impact of environmental change can cause a decrease in the amount of organisms living in that ecosystem and without one of the organism living in the ecosystem the other organism supports on the other organism for food/energy will be scarce resulting in a decrease of species eventually dying out.
