the very basic properties of water
conducts heat
neutral pH
high surface tension
high specific heat
good solvent
how does this help a polar bear, some of it is a stretch but possible benefits
pH - good drinking water, good for marine ecosystem for food
high specific heat - can absorb lots of heat before the temperature rises, polar bears exist naturally in cold environments. (ice) - maybe can tie this in with the natural hibernation cycle
high surface tension - I'm assuming the polar bear walks on the ice at times to get fish
as a good solvent - its probably good that most things dissolve in water, otherwise we would have a lot of floating gunk on top of the water
outside of this, can't give you much more. it has been noted in Shishmaref Village that the ice caps melting is leading to a lack of water in higher mountain areas and polar bears are coming down from the mountain ice cap areas to find food and water
Answer:
Option). the uneven cutting by most restriction enzymes
Explanation:
Sticky ends can be defined as over-hanged DNA fragments of unequal length, having a terminal portion with unpaired nucleotides. These fragments are formed by a staggered cut on DNA molecules wit the help of restriction endonuclease enzymes.
These ends have complementary nucleotide bases that allow complementary base pairing between bases, and thus, known as sticky ends.
Thus, the correct answer is 'last option.'
The answer is A. the presence or absence of an envelope
Population Growth - Basic Information
All populations change in size with time
- if births exceed deaths, the population grows
- if deaths exceed births, the population shrinks
- only when births equal deaths does the population stay the same
Other Population Growth Factors
Populations can also change size if organisms move in (immigration) or leave (emigration)
Putting It All Together
We can write a simple equation to show population growth as:
Change in Population Size = (Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration)
Expressing Population Changes as a Percentage
Suppose we had a population of 100,000 individuals. Suppose in one year there were 1000 births, and 500 deaths.
What percentage of the population were births?
1000/100,000 = 0.01, or in percentage terms, this is 1% of the population.
What percentage of the population were deaths?
500/100,000 = 0.005, or in percentage terms, this is 0.5% of the population.
Assume immigration equals emigration. If so, then they cancel out of our population equation. We'll come back to
this assumption later.
Now, subtract deaths from births but express as a percentage:
1000-500/100,000 = 500/100,000 = 0.005, or 0.5% net growth
Thus, this population would be growing by 0.5% this first year. That means that after one year, there will be 500 more
individuals than the previous year. So, after one year, the population would be 100,500 individuals.
The Net Reproductive Rate
The net reproductive rate (r) is the percentage growth after accounting for births and deaths. In the example above, the population reproductive rate is 0.5%/yr.
Net reproductive rate (r) is calculated as: r = (births-deaths)/population size or to get in percentage terms, just multiply by 100.
Suppose we came back many years later, the net reproductive rate was still the same, but now the population had grown to 1,000,000. How many new individuals would be added each year now? Simply multiply the population by the reproductive rate:
1,000,000 x 0.05 (which is 0.5%) = 50,000
This means that now 50,000 new individuals are added in one year!! The net reproductive rate is the same as before, but because
the population is so much bigger, many more individuals are added.
Exponential Growth
If a population grows by a constant percentage per year, this eventually adds up to what we call exponential growth. In other words, the larger the population grows, the faster it grows!! A curve of exponential growth is an upward sweeping growth curve.
Answer:
a virus is a nonliving organism. evidence: a virus is not made up of cells, they can't keep themselves stable, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy
Explanation:
reasoning: even though they can replicate, they are more like androids/ robots.
