Why groups of animals are found on some islands but not others?

Biology

Svetllana [295]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Wilson has created the theory of the biogeographic nature of the island, which predicts that the number of species on the island depends on the balance between colonization, the evolution of the novel island species, and extinction.

Explanation:

A new DNA sequence containing 596 species of terrestrial birds from 41 island chains (archipelagos) around the world has been assembled by the researchers. The data combined sample data from their own field visits, research, and field samples from GeneBank colleagues. This information was utilized to build and employ a dynamic model that predicted international relationships that regulate biodiversity variation in their novel analysis approaches. In that, they confirmed two main components of MacArthur and Wilson's initial biogeography theory on the island.

The understanding of biodiversity on the island is important to conservation but also has implications beyond that – when imposing barriers to species dispersal it could enable us to assess better the effects of human activities, and it can contribute to a wider understanding of biodiversity around the globe.

Determination of Caloric Content of Three Foods1. Compare the calorimeter that you built to a bomb calorimeter. How are they sim
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The answers to both parts (1 and 2) are given below.

Explanation:

1. The calorimeter is similar to the bomb calorimeter in a way that both measure the changes in heat that occur as result of the chemical reaction taking place inside them. They are different in the sense that a bomb calorimeter provides an isolated system with constant volume and pressure, whereas a regular calorimeter allows pressure to equalize with the environment.

2. Carbohydrates are the molecules that break down and provides energy for cellular functions. Whereas, proteins are not meant for the production of energy but for the production of amino acids to function as structural units for protein synthesis. Simply, the breakdown of protein is for the synthesis of more proteins by providing several units of amino acids rather than the production of energy.

Why lactic acid fermentation is considered a type of Anaerobic respiration, when both of them are different things.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration

(or fermentation) that breaks down sugars to produce

energy in the form of ATP. It is called anaerobic because it

occurs in the absence of oxygen . Lactic acid is generated

as a byproduct of this reaction, which is what gives this

type of fermentation its name.

and also Lactic acid fermentation is the type of anaerobic

respiration carried out by yogurt bacteria (Lactobacillus

and others)
