Answer:

11. Something killed 90 percent of the planet's species approximately 250 million years ago, near the end of the Permian epoch. In the seas, just about 5% of animal species survived.

12. water bears, also known as tardigrades, are tough organisms that can withstand high temperatures.

13. DNA is found in every cell of every living creature, practically every cell in a multicellular organism has all of the DNA it needs.

14. Titan features a low-temperature version of Earth's water cycle, with liquid on the surface that evaporates, creates clouds, and then condenses to fall as rain—but the liquid is a mix of methane, ethane, and a trace of other hydrocarbons on Titan.

15. The Earth could not even support life at first. The atmosphere was devoid of oxygen, and the Earth's surface was scorching hot. The Earth gradually transformed over millions of years, allowing plants and animals to begin to grow. The Earth was then further altered by living organisms.

amid [387]

Answer:

An illustrated diagram would be helpful in understanding the transmission. The diagram would show an adult, with the major parts of the nervous system highlighted. The nerve pathways involved in stimuli processing and response would be highlighted in different colors to show autonomic and somatic and parasympathetic and sympathetic parts of the nervous system.

How are humans impacting biodiversity in ecosystems around the world? Provide two examples to support your claim.

balandron [24]

Answer:

as humans population continues to grow, we're cutting down more trees and occupying more lands to suffice the need of citizens, therefore, decreasing the forest biodiversity. Our plastic bags, as well as wastes, are polluting the ocean and eradicating essential species that are required to sustain a balance ecosystem, therefore, decreasing the biodiversity of the ocean that are required to maintain a balance environment.

In 1985 a biologist counted 750 pine trees in a 250 hectare forest. Using similar counting techniques, the biologist counted 1,2

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Suppose that we have a given function f(x)

The average rate of change of the function between two values x₁ and x₂ is given by:

$r = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

a) We want to find the average (rate) of change on the size of population from 1985 to 1995.

We have that:

f(1985) = 750

f(1995) = 1500

Then we have:

$r = \frac{1500 - 750}{1995 - 1985} = 750/10 = 75$

This means that the population of trees increases, in average, at a rate of 75 trees per year.

b) What is the density of trees each year that they were counted?

This will be equal to the quotient between the number of trees and the area.

1985: number of trees = 750 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1985) = (750 pines)/(250 ha) = 3 pines/ha

So 1985, there were 3 pines per hectare.

1990: number of trees = 1250 pines

area = 250 ha

Then the density is:

D(1990) = (1250 pines)/(250 ha) = 5 pines/ha

1995: number of trees = 1500 pines

area = 250 ha

The density is:

D(1995) = (1500 pines)/(250 ha) = 6 pines/ha

3) now we want to get the average change between 1985 and 1995 in the density, this will be:

$r = \frac{D(1995) - D(1885)}{1995 - 1985} = \frac{6 pines/ha - 3pines/ha}{10} = 0.3 pines/ha$

So, on average, each year the number of pines per hectare increases by 0.3
