Answer: the graph supports: background extinctions, mass extinctions affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs
The graph does not support:both mammas and dinosaur revolved in the pattern of gradualism, dinosaurs evolved by adaptive radiation, and convolution affected the evolution of mammals and dinosaurs
Explanation:The graph only shows mass extinctions and background extinctions
Answer:
A. Salamanders
Explanation:
Specialists species are species that can thrive in a unique and limited range of resources. They require a specific environmental condition to reproduce and survive in environment and also have limited or few diets they need for nutrition. These limiting characteristics put them at a disadvantage of being endangered and threatened.
Salamanders are endangered species that are fast going into extinction. They require wetland (freshwater pools) for reproduction to be possible, and feed mainly on insects. This makes them specialist species.
Ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers are all generalist species. They can all thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions, and also have varieties of diets they can get nutrition from to survive.
Water Cycle:
1. It is stored in the ground.
2. Evaporation, transportation, precipitation
3. Runoff comes straight from precipitation. Infiltration is from the ground while run off never went in the ground.
4. It will usually end up in the same place, the ocean
5. Water levels rise, temperatures rise, CO2 in atmosphere increases
Carbon Cycle:
1. Carbon is important because it is one of the basic building blocks of life.
2. Trees, animals, grass, decomposition, combustion, fossil fuels
3. Carbon enters as photosynthesis.
4. Carbon enters water to the soil decomposition. Aquatic plants have plenty of water to work with, so their main challenge is getting enough sunlight and air.
6. By breathing in the oxygen from plants.
7. Two ways carbon return from animals into water is through cellular respiration and decomposition.
8. Combustion is when we dig up the fossil fuel and burn it, then what is left goes into the air starting the cycle again.
9. Deforestation reduces the capacity of forests to be carbon sinks.
Nitrogen Cycle:
1. Nitrogen is important because it helps us grow crops, and it produces grass for animal.
2. It comes from lightning and is named nitrogen fixation.
3. Ammonification and then transitions into nitrification and then to assimilation.
Phosphorus Cycle:
1. It forms part of life sustaining molecules like DNA and RNA.
2. Phosphorus is never found in the atmosphere.
Answer;
Psychologists suspect that these mental deficits often results from growing up in a below average intellectual environment.
Explanation;
Cultural familial is a mental deficit in which no evidence of organic brain damage can be found; individuals' IQ range from 55 to 70. Psychologists suspects that these mental deficits often results from growing up in a below average intellectual environment.
