When a population is
small in a habitat, its population growth is exponential. This means it doubles
its population with every generation. This is because there is plenty of resources
and little competition between individuals of the population. However, as the population
grows bigger, the population reaches carrying
capacity (the maximum number that the ecosystem can hold). The growth slows and
stagnates as stiff competition results to an equal death rate as birth rate.
Answer: Gradualism and punctuated equilibrium are two ways in which the evolution of a species can occur. A species can evolve by only one of these, or by both. Scientists think that species with a shorter evolution evolved mostly by punctuated equilibrium, and those with a longer evolution evolved mostly by gradualism.
Explanation:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
The correct statement is that the there is a difference in protein which is found in the outer membrane and inner membrane of the mitochondria.
The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded to allow maximum surface area for the energy production.
The inner part of the mitochondria contains the enzyme ATPase for energy production.
The outer membrane of the mitochondria contains enzymes for the export and import of the various materials with the help of TOM40 complex and TIM23 complex.
Answer:
Spoilage microbes produce acid
Explanation:
When food becomes spoiled or is unprotected, bacteria will invade the food. These types of bacteria are called spoilage bacteria. The bacteria will multiply by consuming the nutrients from the food and grows very rapidly. In certain conditions, the invading bacteria will produce acids that protects them and creates a barrier for other microbes. This acid is what gives spoiled food a sour taste.
Answer:
Parasympathetic nervous system
Explanation:
Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) along with sympathetic nervous system (SNS) makes autonomic nervous system (ANS). ANS controls the functioning of internal processes like digestion rate, heart rate, respiratory rate etc. During a threat or stressful situation SNS is activated. It increases heart rate, respiratory rate and directs blood flow towards peripheral muscles as a part of "fight or flight response". When the situation becomes normal, PNS is activated which restores all the vitals as a part of "rest and digest" mechanism.
Since here Byron almost got into an accident, he was scared a lot due to which his SNS was activated. Eventually when he realized that he is out of danger, his PNS got activated which returned his heart rate and blood pressure to normal levels.
