Answer:
B. Year 5.
Explanation:
In 5 years time the turtle population reached the carrying capacity of the pond. Carrying capacity of pond refers to the population of marine animals such as fishes, turtles etc can live and survive on the natural food available in the pond. If the food is present in large amount, than carrying capacity of the ecosystem is large. In pond ecosystem, the population of turtle decreases because the food is not sufficient to feed the existing population.
Answer:
C. Bacteria to Seaweed to Fish to Seal to Polar Bear
Explanation:
Every ecosystem consists of multiple organisms. These organisms feed on each other, forming a food chain. The energy within an ecosystem flows through the food chain.
Here, we're supposed to determine which food chain is the correct one. All organisms can be divided into producers and consumers. Producers are organisms that produce their own food, while consumers feed by consuming other organisms.
The only food chain that makes sense is shown in option C. I wouldn't say that bacteria belong to it as the seaweed is an example of a producer. It doesn't consume other organisms. But, fish feed on it, then seals eat the fish, and polar bears eat the seals. This is why we can safely say that option C is the correct one, despite bacteria being present there. Any other combination wouldn't work as, for example, bacteria (A) and seals (B) can't eat polar bears and the fish can't eat seals (D).
Answer:
3
Explanation:
The nucleotide triplet that encodes an amino acid is called a codon. Each group of three nucleotides encodes one amino acid.
The only one that should not be selected is "are carried on genes" since genes are segments of DNA that code for something. Like one of the answers said, chromosomes carry thousands of genes, making the statement, "are carried on genes," completely false.
