Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The amount of herbaceous plants in an abandoned farm field will keep decreasing with time and the amount of trees would be increasing instead due to successional forces.

Succession refers to the gradual change in the species structure of a community with time. Early successional species usually colonize new habitats and with time, they are replaced with late successional species until a relatively stable community, climax community, is established.

Herbaceous species on abandoned farmland represent early successional species and as time goes on, they will be replaced by mid to late successional species in the form of shrubs and trees until a relatively stable community is formed. Hence, herbs would be decreasing while trees would be increasing.

Which veterinary professionals design the veterinary curriculum? please help

Virty [35]

Answer:

Recent studies of the veterinary profession have established a need for training in various areas beyond those directed toward building competence and proficiency as a clinician. To address this need, a workshop was designed whose objective was to develop a detailed outline of a model curriculum that would encompass the skills, knowledge, aptitudes, and attitudes deemed essential for economic success in the veterinary profession. The model curriculum was created from comprehensive input provided by consultants and educators. Constraints for implementation of this curriculum are identified, and future directions are discussed.

Describe 2 homologies (structures that were shared from a common ancestor) between the Zeuglodon and the Orca.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Homologous structures can be described structures which originate in different organisms from a common ancestor and may or may not have the same functions.

Zeuglodons can be described as ancient whales and Orca is a common whale today known as the killer whale.

Scientific studies show that Zeuglodans and Orca have many structures in common such as:

Having teeth with two roots
The presence of nostrils
Pelvis and internal femur bones

How is hydro electricity produced step by step explanation

timama [110]

Answer:

ydropower, electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy

Explanation:

In the generation of hydroelectric power, water is collected or stored at a higher elevation and led downward through large pipes or tunnels (penstocks) to a lower elevation; the difference in these two elevations is known as the head. At the end of its passage down the pipes, the falling water causes turbines to rotate. The turbines in turn drive generators, which convert the turbines’ mechanical energy into electricity. Transformers are then used to convert the alternating voltage suitable for the generators to a higher voltage suitable for long-distance transmission. The structure that houses the turbines and generators, and into which the pipes or penstocks feed, is called the powerhouse.
