Unionid mussels are native to the Hudson River in New York State. In the early 1990s, zebra mussels were introduced into the Hud

son River. The table shows the number of unionid mussels and zebra mussels over the course of six years.
How did the population of unionid mussels change after zebra mussels were introduced? Why did this change occur?

They decrease because the zebra mussel were taking their resources. Leaving them nothing to eat.

Answer:

sample:

Explanation:

The population of unionid mussels in the Hudson River decreased after zebra mussels were introduced. Zebra mussels, a nonnative species, competed with the unionid mussels for food. The zebra mussels were able to outcompete the unionid mussels, allowing the zebra mussel population to increase dramatically over six years. The unionid mussel population decreased due to a lack of food.

what types of minerals are good conductors of electricity, are strong and can be formed into various shaped and sized products w
Sidana [21]

Minerals which are good conductors of electricity are described below.

Explanation:

  • metals tend to be highly efficient conductors of heat and electricity. The vast majority of elements on the periodic table are metals, and most of these fall into one of five families: alkali metals; alkaline earth metals; the very large transition metals family; and the inner transition metal families, known as the lanthanides and actinides.
  • Metals are lustrous or shiny in appearance, and malleable or ductile, meaning that they can be molded into different shapes without breaking. Despite their ductility, metals are extremely durable and have high melting and boiling points. They are excellent conductors of heat and electricity, and tend to form positive ions by losing electrons.

Imagine you are a red blood cell sitting in the right atria of the heart. Write a paragraph that describes what happens to this
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

A red blood cell, sitting in the right atria of the heart is chocolate-brown in color since its a deoxygenated red blood cell with carbon dioxide rather than oxygen in its hemoglobin.

 

First

The tricuspid valve pumps it through the right ventricle

Secondly

pulmonary valve pumps it from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.

Then

In the alveoli of the lungs, gas exchange occurs during pulmonary circulation

The end product is oxyhemoglobin( bright red colour) I.e oxygenated blood

The next step

pulmonary veins is the means whereby the red blood cell go to the left atria from the pulmonary circulation through the aortic valve

to mitral valve then to the aorta and systemic circulation

Therefore

oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide during systemic circulation indicating a end to cellular respiration

Lastly

It's transported back to the right atrium of the heart completing the cardiac cycle.

Determine if the limiting factors listed below are density-dependent or density-independent.
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Industrial pollution is density-independent
habitat is density-dependent
food is also density-dependent because its availability varies depending on this factor
a hurricane is abiotic and density-independent
number of mates is density-dependent and hunting by humans is density-independent

Marianna [84]

Answer:The image to this question is attached.

Answer is the ovary

Explanation: the process by which egg is produced is called oogenesis. It involves the mitotic division of the primodial germ cells to from a oogonia. The oogonia becomes enveloped by follicle cells . Oogonia grows to become the primary oocyte. Each primary oocyte is diploid. It then undergoes the first meiotic division to form the secondary oogonia and a smaller polar nody. all this process of development occurs in the ovary.

After it is released from the ovary, fertilization occurs and it undergoes the second meiotic division to from a polar body and an ovum.

The primary oocyte however remains in prophase of meiosis l throughout childhood.

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when ________.
Leokris [45]

Answer :There was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

Explanation:

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when there was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

For the first half of the Earht's history, there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. It was inhabited only by single-celled organisms.Of  those simple life forms, the cyanobacteria may have. evolved a way to take energy from sunlight, and used it to make sugars out of water and carbon dioxide. They used the same chemical process we know as photosynthesis. This released vast quantities of oxygen into the atmosphere and  triggered the evolution of complex life.
