Answer:

Using Bacteria such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to leach copper from mine tailings has improved recovery rates and reduced operating costs. Microbial leaching is especially useful for copper ores because copper sulfate, as formed during the oxidation of copper sulfide ores, is very water-soluble.

You want to estimate the number of canvas backs (a type of duck) at the Sacramento Wildlife Refuge. In two days you capture 200
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Option A 400 individuals

Explanation:

Using this formula, we can estimate the population size of the canvas backs as this is a capture-recapture method.

N = (MxC) / R

Where N = estimated Number of individuals in the population

M = number of individuals captured and Marked = 200

C = total number Captured the second time (with and without a mark) = 200 and

R= number of individuals Recaptured (those with a mark) = 100

Thus, we have

N = (MxC) / R

= (200 x 200) / 100

= (40,000) / 100

= 400 individuals.

Why an ecosystem requires a constant input of energy
pychu [463]
The ecosystem requires a constant input of energy because energy cannot be stored. The enrgy always gets converted for supporting life in the ecosystem. Some amount of energy is also lost during this conversion. So if there is not a constant supply of energy, then the ecosystem will ultimately breakdown. In case of humans, the energy is received by consuming food. The energy of the food geets converted to the enrgy that helps a human being to complete his daily chores. So energy is being lost at every step. To regain this energy the humans have to eat food regularly. This way the humans need a constant supply of energy to survive. It is the same in the case of all living things in the ecosystem.

Why don’t recessive traits always eventually disappear from populations?
Iteru [2.4K]
Because the recessive trait might not show, but its there, lets say B is brown eyes and b is blue eyes, BB is brown, Bb is brown, and bb is blue, if B is present, brown will always show, but as long as the little b is there, there is a chance of the kids having blue eyes, sure most people would have brown eyes, but a lot of the people with brown eyes would be Bb
