You hear rumors about an unusual series of four islands in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago of Chile. On these islands, the typi

cal laws of island biogeography theory are reversed such that species colonization rates are influenced by island size, not isolation, and small islands have higher colonization rates than larger islands. In addition, islands close to the mainland have higher extinction rates than islands far from the mainland. Of the four islands in this archipelago, a _____ island _____ the mainland would have the SECOND LOWEST equilibrium number of species.

Of the four islands in this archipelago, a SMALL island CLOSE TO the mainland would have the SECOND LOWEST equilibrium number of species. Biogeography studies species distribution.

Biogeography refers to the discipline that examines the range of distribution of species and taxonomic groups in a given geographical area over geological time.

The theory of island biogeography is a scientific theory that posits the idea that larger islands exhibit a greater amount of species (i.e., higher biodiversity) than smaller islands.

According to this theory (island biogeography), each island represents a particular unique ecosystem, which is different from other surrounding ecosystems.

Bones do not have a role in __________. bones do not have a role in __________. support movement glycogen production fat storage
mafiozo [28]
The correct answer is that bones do not have a role in glycogen production. Glycogen is only produced by two organs of the body; the muscles and the liver. Bones and bone structures function to support movement by serving as insertions for the muscles. The tissue inside the bone is called the bone marrow; which is divided into red marrow (functions for blood cell formation) and yellow marrow (functions to store fat).

1. An animal cell has a 2% salt concentration. It is placed into a solution with a 0.05% salt concentration. What would happen t
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: water will move out of the animal cell causing it to swell and burst  (Option C)


Explanation:


When a cell is immersed into a salty solution, the osmotic pressure generated by concentration differences of salt, will make the salt come in due to cell self-protection mechanism of the cell and water will come out, eventually the cell can burst .But since the animal cells has a higher concentration of salt and the solution has a lower concentration osmosis will take place and salt will move from higher salt concentration to lower.

Which of these is a technique used in forest management, farming, prairie restoration or greenhouse gas abatement where a fire i
Dafna11 [192]
This is called 'controlled' or 'prescribed' burning. Usually fires in the environment are regarded as undesirable and dangerous, but fires actually fulfil an important ecological role, and animals and plants had adapted to a certain frequency and intensity of fires. The seeds of some trees or grasses germinate after forest or grass fires, as the more open conditions after a fire allows the seedlings to compete and avoid being shaded and smothered by more established trees. Unfortunately, farming and forestry practices have in many cases resulted in a reduction of fires. A reduction in the frequency of fires also allows the build up of dead wood, and when a wild fire does occur, the amount of available fuel results in very hot, large and damaging fires. Therefore, management of forests and other environments such as prairies often use controlled burns to avoid the buildup of dead organic mass and to replicate the natural fire cycle.
