A population of trout in a lake has significantly declined over the past year. The main source of food for the fish in this lake

are aquatic insects. Due to poor climate conditions, there are significantly fewer insects and thus, not enough food to sustain the population of trout in the lake. Trout is a food supply for larger fish in the lake and without enough trout, other fish are negatively impacted in the lake. What is the problem?
a. Trout population has increased

b. Insect population has increased

c. Insect population has decreased

d. Larger fish population has increased

The decline in the overall population of trout and larger fish is because the Insect population has decreased.

<h3>What is a population?</h3>

A population is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same habitat.

Population of organisms is affected by;

  • availability of water
  • space
  • food and nutrients
  • predators
  • climate change

Since the population of trout is directly affected by the number of insect species, the decline in the overall population is because the Insect population has decreased.

Which causes the biodiversity of rainforests?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

B. Stable ecosystems

Explanation:

The main cause of the biodiversity experienced in rain forests is largely due to the stable ecosystems that they enjoy.

A stable ecosystem is a sustainable one that does not change too much over the course of time.

Most organisms and the diverse life forms are easily nourished by the provisions made available by nature in such regions.

  • Most rain forest receives a large amount of solar radiation and energy all year round as the sun is directly overhead here.
  • This suggests that the producers have enough energy to cater for their own need and that of the organisms there in.
  • The consumers and decomposers have sufficient food available all year round.
  • This coupled with other factors whereby organisms have specially adapted to environmental conditions makes a rain forest very biodiverse with life forms.
  • An unstable ecosystem cannot be biodiverse

the activities in the cell cycle occur during a specific phases. In which phase of the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

S phase

Explanation:

The S is short for synthesis, which means that DNA is being replicated.  This is one of the stages of interphase, when the cell is growing and getting ready to divide.  Well, this is the getting ready to divide part of interphase; the cell needs to duplicate its DNA so it has enough to divide out to daughter cells.
