Answer:

In this situation, the population with the greatest number will be the producers.

Explanation:

In a specific ecosystem, the population with the largest number of members will be the producers.

Producing organisms are those that, through inorganic molecules, are able to synthesize their own food (called autotrophs). They make up the first trophic level of food chains and are essential for the balance of ecosystems.

Almost the majority of the producing organisms are photosynthetic, and can be plants, algae, cyanobacteria, protists and other single-celled organisms capable of using light as an energy source for their own survival. A small number of producers use chemical energy from the oxidation of molecules as an energy source. These organisms, exclusively bacteria, perform chemosynthesis.

The hormones secretin and cholecystokinin target the pancreas, ________, and ________ to release pancreatic juice and bile into

elixir [45]

Answer: The hormones secretin and cholecystokinin target the pancreas, stomach, and gallbladder.

Explanation:

The duodenum secretes two additional hormones. Cholecystokinin (CCK), like enterogastrone, is secreted in response to the presence of fat in the chyme. CCK stimulates the contractions of the gallbladder, injecting bile into the duodenum so that fat can be emulsified and more efficiently digested. The other duodenal hormone is secretin. Released in response to the acidity of the chyme that arrives in the duodenum, secretin stimulates the pancreas to release bicarbonate, which then neutralizes some of the acidity.

Which of the following examples can cause gene flow between populations?

yanalaym [24]

The answer is bird droppings that contain seeds from a different location.

Gene flow includes a transfer of alleles from one population to another. So imagine a population of plant A on location 1 and another population of plant A on location 2. They cannot interchange their genes. But if birds drop seeds from location 1 and those seeds get to location 2, gene flow may occur.

An octopus reproduces only once in its life, but it may have more than 100,000 offspring, depending on the species. Certain spec

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is C) The success of a species depends on the number of offspring that survive long enough to reproduce.

Explanation:

Some species of animals such as the octopus might give rise to many offspring, but these offspring might not survive due to different reasons. Only a few of them will be able to survive until the age where they can reproduce.

On the other hand, the survival rate of offspring which are formed in lesser numbers is more. These offspring are taken care of by their parents usually or are better adapted to live in the environment. Hence, their survival rate is more.
