A scientist is studying the population of a particular species of beetle in an ecosystem. The beetles currently have an estimate

d population of 11,500 individuals on a wildlife preserve of 115 hectares. (One hectare is equal to 2.47 acres of land.) The scientist calculates the carrying capacity at 14,600 individuals.
PART B

What will likely happen to the population of these beetles during the next year if the resource level stays the same? Explain your answer.

PART C

These beetles have a uniform distribution. In year 1, how many beetles are there per hectare? How many beetles per hectare were there in the year the beetles reached carrying capacity? Round up or down to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

PART D

During the year the beetles reached carrying capacity, a flood in the region decreased the population to about 77 beetles per hectare. What is the total estimated population of the beetles after this disaster? What percentage of the carrying capacity is the population now?

PART E

Over a period of time, the beetles once again reached carrying capacity and sustained it for many years. However, pollution from a nearby factory leaked into the ecosystem, making 55 hectares of the land uninhabitable to the beetles. Predict how the estimated carrying capacity will change and explain your reasoning for your estimation.

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is
labwork [276]

Answer: a. oxygen

Basically what (/the) ETC and oxidative phosphorylation is, is the products of the Krebs cycle being oxidized and oxygen receiving electrons. And when the phosphorylation part of oxidative phosphorylation occurs is when ADP gains its third phosphate group becoming ATP.

Forgive me for this poor response I was trying to be quick and it resulted in this vague and disorganized mess. To properly explain the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation it would be best to start from the beginning and explain all the stages of Aerobic respiration. Then it would be easier to Segway in to this final stage which would definitely take 2-3 descriptive paragraphs to cover.

What behavioural adaptation does a desert fox have to help it survive in hot places
SIZIF [17.4K]
1. Their large ears help dissipate excess body heat on hot days in the desert. 2. The fennec fox seems to be the only carnivore living in the Sahara Desert able to survive without free water. Their kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss, their extensive burrowing may cause the formation of dew, which can then be consumed, and they will receive moisture from the food that they eat. 3. Their burrowing and nocturnal lifestyle helps restrict water loss. 4. Their thick fur helps insulate them from the cold desert nights. 5. Their sandy fur helps to reflect heat, and also provides excellent camouflage. 6. Fennec foxes also have thick fur on the soles of their feet, which insulate against the hot sand of the desert. This extra fur on the soles of their feet also affords them excellent traction in the loose sand.

3. Algae makes energy-rich carbon compounds through
Thepotemich [5.8K]

A complementary process in nature either adds (options 3, 6, and 7) or removes ( options 4 and 5) carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

<h3>Complementary processes and it's benefits</h3>

The processes that leads to the addition of carbondioxide back to the atmosphere include the following:

  • The eruption of volcanoes.

  • Cellular respiration carried out by organisms to release energy from food molecules.

  • The use of gasoline to power cars

The processes that leads to the removal of carbondioxide from the atmosphere include:

  • The production of energy-rich carbon compounds through photosynthesis.

  • The dissolution of carbondioxide in rainwater.

Look at the table you filled in above. How does the numbers for how much the snakes are consumed compare to how much these preda
S_A_V [24]

The number of organisms decreases on movement from producers to consumers in a food chain. This happens due to decreased energy levels at higher trophic levels.

<h3>What is a food chain?</h3>

Food chain is the sequence of matter and energy transfers as food from one organism to another.

Food chains interconnect locally into a food web as most organisms consume more than one type of animal or plant.

The number of organisms decreases on movement from producers to consumers in a food chain. This happens due to decreased energy levels at higher trophic levels.

Thus, it can be concluded that this is the main reason behind the number of snakes consumed as compared to other organisms.
