Answer:

How can we explain why there is so much diversity of life on Earth today?

There are several key reasons for high biodiversity in tropical ecosystems. High NPP directly contributes to α-diversity by supporting more species with minimum viable populations, whereas enlarged populations of each organism increase overall mutation frequency and hence intraspecific genetic variation.

NNADVOKAT [17]
Answer: 

Providing analgesia during the last days, and hours, is an ethically- appropriate nursing action.



Explanation:

All clients, regardless of age, have the right to die with dignity, and be free from pain. The parents have the right to request an opioid to relieve the child's distress. Assisted suicide requires some action on the part of the client, and this is not possible for a one- month old infant.  Both the nurse and the parents have an ethical duty to the child. Withholding the opioid analgesic from a dying child is not appropriate, because, of fear it may hasten death, at any age, and this is not considered a contradiction for administering of analgesia.


Hope it helps.

Shifting biomes could have consequences for the regions in which the shifts occur. Read the two cases below and decide which con
Nata [24]

Answer:

increased risk of wildfires- both

local economy suffers- Case 1

carbon storage decreases - Case 2

agricultural production decreases - Case 1

carbon storage increases -  Case 1

disease vector range changes - Case 2

decreased water availability - Case 1

local economy thrives - Case 2

species range changes - Case 2

Explanation:

Fires are common to  taiga biomes. Owing to the fact that the biome in case 1 changed from an agricultural community to a grassland and subsequently to a desert, agricultural productivity will decrease, the local economy will suffer, water availability is decreased and local economy suffers as a consequence of desertification.

On the other hand, in case 2, the diseases vector range as well as species range changes due to the change in the species of foxes from Artic foxes to red foxes that carry rabies. Carbon storage decreases as the taiga biome acts as a carbon sink. The local economy thrives due to timber production.

Lastly, species range changes both in case 1 and case 2 since there is a loss of species. Species range is the area where a particular species can be found during its lifetime. Certainly, the range of area where species are found changed in cases 1 and 2.

How is water formed during the electron transport chain
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The electron transport chain is the third and final step of cellular respiration. At the end of the electron transport chain, the hydrogen from the coenzymes meets the oxygen which the cell has consumed and reacts with it to form water. Therefore, water is created as a byproduct of the metabolism reaction.
