Which of the following is NOT a way that carbon is released into the atmosphere?

AURORKA [14]

Explanation:

$\pmb{ }$ photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

Most black bears (Ursus americanus) are black or brown in color. However, occasional white bears of this species appear in some

Sphinxa [80]

Answer and Explanation:

The number of observed individuals:

AA 42

AG 24

GG 21

Total number of individuals, N= 87 = 42 + 24 + 21

Allelic frequencies:

f(p) = (2 x AA + AG)/ 2 x N

f (p)= (2 x 42 + 24) /2 x 87

f (p) = (84 + 24) / 174

f (p)= 108 / 174

f (p) = 0.62

f (q) = (2 x GG + AG)/2 x N

f (q) = (2 x 21 + 24 )/2 x 87

f (q) = (42 + 24)/ 174

f (q) = 66/174

f (q) = 0.38

p + q = 1

0.62 + 0.38 = 1

The expected genotypic frequency:

F (AA)= 0.62 ² = 0.3844

F (AG) = 2 x A x G = 2 x 0.62 x 0.38 = 0.4712

F (GG) = 0.38 ² = 0.1444

AA + AG + GG = 0.3844 + 0.4712 + 0.1444 = 1

The number of expected individuals:

AA= (0.62)² x 87 = 0.3844 x 87 = 33.44

AG= (0.4712) x 87 = 40.99

GG= (0.38)² x 87 = 12.563

Total number of expected individuals = 33.44 + 40.99 + 12.563 = 87

Chi square= sum (O-E)²/E

AA= (O-E)² /E

AA=(42 - 33.44) ² / 33.44

AA= 2.2

AB= (O-E)² /E

AB= (24 - 40.99)²/ 40.99

AB=7.04

BB=(O-E)² /E

BB= (21-12.563)²/12.563

BB= 5.66

Chi square= sum ((O-E)²/E) = 2.2 + 7.04 + 5.66 = 14.9

Degrees of freedom = genotypes - alleles = 3 - 1 = 2

p value less than 0.05

There is enough evidence to reject the nule hypothesis. The genotype frequencies are not in equilibrium.

Why are there fewer organisms in each level as you go up the energy pyramid

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation: The energy pyramid describes how energy gets distributed through an ecosystem. The more there is of an organism on the energy pyramid, the more it gives overall to the ecosystem. The less there is of an organism, the less it gives to the ecosystem. Take the Floridian Everglades as an example. There is an abundance of sawgrass, and that makes up the foundation of the system, along with mangroves and such. But there are less of predators in the ecosystem because they only feed of of their prey like small mammals or fish. They never start the food chain, they end it.

Scientists observed that the populations of top-level consumers in a particular ecosystem were rapidly decreasing. Further studi

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - decreased population size at all levels.

Explanation:

A decrease in the productivity of producers of an ecosystem will lead to a decrease in all other organisms of the ecosystem including top-level consumers to the bottom-level producers due to the fact that producers provide energy and food to primary consumers.

It is because they are the only organisms that convert the sunlight to usable energy and food that transfer from one trophic level to other, so if the population of producers or their productivity will decrease then there will be decreased population size at all levels.

The rate of water loss from the leaves of a potted plant can be measured by determining the mass of the plant at one-hour interv

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

A potometer measures water loss from leaves. A bubble potometer measures the rate of water loss from a plant by transpiration. A weight photometer measures the amount of water lost by a plant through transpiration. The washing line method is used to prove that most water loss occurs from the lower surface of the leaf.

potometer' (from Greek ποτό = drunken, and μέτρο = measure), sometimes known as transpirometer, is a device used for measuring the rate of water uptake of a leafy shoot which is almost equal to the water lost through transpiration. The causes of water uptake are photosynthesis and transpiration
