Answer:

D. A population with high genetic biodiversity is better able to respond to environmental stressors.

Explanation:

The genetic biodiversity of a species is the diversity of alleles that it possesses in its genetic pool. For a given gene, a population can have one or more alleles; and the more alleles the population has, it will be more diverse. Under normal conditions (without stress), the alleles that are present in high frequency in a population,  are those that best respond to the environment where the population occurs. However, if some environmental condition changes and some type of environmental stress emerge (ie drought), it is possible that these alleles no longer respond equally effectively and then, it is possible that the  alleles that on normal conditions occur with low frequency, are more adequate to face the stress. A population with fewer alleles (less genetic diversity) has terefore fewer options to deal with environmental stressors and<u> a population with high genetic biodiversity</u> will do this better.

19. If a scientist needs to use a large dataset to explore how corn grows in different soils, how would this data be classified?
Illusion [34]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The correct option is B- Qualitative.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

When the growth of corn has to be recorded, the quality of the corn grown in different soils needs to be recorded. Qualitative methods are best used to classify quality of anything.

Qualitative data basically is non-numerical data which in the case of corns can be the length of the corn plant, the sweetness of the corn kernel or the hardness or softness of the corn. This data cannot be recorded using numerical values and so other methods of data recording cannot be used.

Indicate whether each statement is true or false. 1. Rod cells are depolarized in the dark. (Click to select) 2. Glutamate binds
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1. true, 2. true, 3. false, and 4. true.

Explanation:

1. Rod cells are the photoreceptors present in the retina that are hyperpolarized not depolarized in dark due to sodium ions efflux.

2. Depolarisation of the bipolar cell of the retina by glutamate release by rods and cones.

3. The adaption according to the light is known as a light adaptation which takes place due to a large part of photochemical in both rods and cones which is reduced to retinal and opsins.

4. when the light reaction takes place retinal converted to opsin

Which option uses the monitoring method to check the growth of invasive species? A introduction of a predator species B digging
tatiyna

<span>The answer is A. Invasive species are species that thrive unregulated in an introduced environment/ habitat and affect the biodiversity of the environment. They boom unchecked mostly due to lack of a natural predator. Therefore, introducing a predator will limit their growth. </span>

Which of the following is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most ecosystems?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy   is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.

Determine the new concentration, in mg/mL, of the starch solution you diluted in the Erlenmeyer flask. Recall from the Procedure
Semmy [17]

Answer:

0.05 mg/mL  ( B )

Explanation:

Given data:

20 mg/ml starch

2% solution = 2g of solute is in 100g of solvent

<u>Determine the new concentration in mg/ml </u>

Dilution equation = C1V1 = C2V2

new concentration ; applying the dilution factor

dilution factor = 1 : 400 ; ( 2 /400 )g = 0.005 g of solute is present in every  100 mL

∴ new concentration = 0.00005 g / 1 mL * ( 1000 mg / 1g ) = 0.05 mg/mL
