A wildlife sanctuary is a place that is strictly controlled in order to protect a species from extinction.
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.
Answer:
With 6 we should multiply gross photosynthesis (as we were measuring gross photosynthesis for 10 min).
Explanation:
According to this question:-
Net photosynthesis- 3mm/20min- 1.5mm/10min
Cellular respiration- 1mm/15min- 0.66mm/10min
Gross photosynthesis = Net photosynthesis + Cellular respiration = 1.5+0.66 = 2.16 (mm/10min)
Rate of photosynthesis = (gross photosynthesis)6 = 2.16 *6 = 12.96 mm/hr
As we gage the photosynthesis rate in hr.
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.
