Biology
1 answer:
hodyreva [135]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

There is a very common misperception among people, even among many snake hobbyists, that snakes must have live prey.

Explanation:

This is not usually true. In the wild, snakes, like most other carnivores, will usually take any opportunity to get a free and easy meal, and will not pass up a freshly killed prey animal if they happen upon it. In fact, snakes have been known to eat a fair amount of carrion which has been dead for some time, and the stomach contents of wild snakes often contain prey that must have been in an advanced state of decomposition when it was eaten. Thus, although your snake may prefer to eat live prey, which it kills itself through constriction, this is not at all necessary for the health of the snake. In fact, it is best not to feed your captive snakes live prey at all.

An increase in the greenhouse effect causes an increase in___
andriy [413]

The answer is option B "temperature." Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping the suns heat in the lower atmosphere. A increase of greenhouse effect would cause surface temperatures to rise.  Which then contributes to global warming because of melting the ice bergs in cooler areas on Earth and causing waters to rise and creating storms. It's not option A because the sun gives off heat or harmful radiant waves which doesn't increase carbon dioxide levels. Wouldn't be option D because it would contribute but it wouldn't happen without a increase of temperature. It also wouldn't be option C because oxygen isn't relevant in this case.

Hope this helps.

Why do you think invasive species are more of a problem in human altered biomes (anthromes) than they are in a biome that has no
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

invasive species are a problem both in anthropogenically altered and natural environments

Explanation:

An invasive species can be defined as a non-native species introduced into a new environment which then becomes abundant. Only in the US, it is believed that there are approximately 4,000 invasive species (some examples include the feral pigs, grey squirrels, European rabbits, etc.). In general, invasive species have a negative impact on the ecosystem, especially by displacing native species and thereby altering the trophic chain. In anthropogenically altered environments (anthromes), human beings are considered to be an invasive species.
