Imagine two new volcanic islands spring up in the middle of the ocean. Each island is quickly founded by a few individuals of a

species of aquatic bird that requires fresh water to thrive. The two islands differ in rainfall, one wetter and one drier. Assuming that rainfall determines carrying capacity for these birds, and that rainfall is consistent over time, what might the growth curves for the bird populations look like over many years for the two islands

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is the option on the upper right .</em>

Explanation:

Aquatic birds that require fresh water to thrive need to be around a source of fresh water. The wetter island has more fresh water than the drier island. This means that both island will be occupied from a population of zero, to an optimum stable population, which is indicated as the graph moves from zero to its maximum point, and then levels out. Th drier island will have the same pattern of curve, but will only be able to support a much smaller population, which is why the curve for the drier island is less than that of the wetter region.

Does carbon dioxide enter a plant when the guard cells swell or when they shrink?
ElenaW [278]

Answer: When cells swell up

Explanation: Plants need carbon dioxide and <u>stomata allow the plant to take in carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis</u>. The "lips" are actually individual cells (called guard cells) <u>that can swell up to open the stomata</u> or deflate to close them off.

Which statement best describes both insulin and glucagon? They both provide structural support, but only insulin is a carbohydra
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

They are both hormones that regulate blood-sugar levels

Explanation:

Insulin is a hormone that controls the blood glucose level. It released in the blood stream when the glucose level increases after eating food. It is produces by pancreas, insulin helps the glucose to enter the body's cells where it can either be stored for future use or can be used for energy.

Glcogen  is produced by alpha cells of pancreas, it is a peptide hormone. Its main function is to raise the concentration of fatty acids and glucose in the bloodstream. It is one of the main catabolic hormone of the body

As per the above mentioned statements, the option 'They are both hormones that regulate blood-sugar levels' is the correct answer.

Match each component of biodiversity to the example of how it contributes to ecosystem stability.
professor190 [17]

Answer:  

Genetic diversity: Some individuals in a population of wild rabbits are resistant to a new disease.

Ecosystem diversity: If the population of wild rabbits decreases, a bobcat can switch its diet to squirrels or woodchucks.  

Species diversity:  Populations of wild rabbits from a forest and from a neighboring meadow can interbreed, which increases variation.  

Biodiversity of an ecosystem is usually explored by three diversities which are responsible for ecosystem stability they are : genetic diversity, ecosystem diversity and species diversity.

Genetic diversity is the variety of genes within a population of species. Each species consists of individuals bearing different genetic composition. Some individuals in a population of wild rabbits are resistant to a new disease because they exhibit genetic diversity within the population as a consequence some individuals exhibit genes which protect them against new disease.

Species diversity is the variety of species within an ecosystem. Populations of wild rabbits from a forest and from a neighboring meadow can interbreed, which increases variation is an example of species diversity. The wild rabbits from a forest and a neighboring meadow are two species living in an ecosystem stating the diversity of species in an ecosystem.

Ecosystem diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a given region.If the population of wild rabbits decreases, a bobcat can switch its diet to squirrels or woodchucks is an example of ecosystem diversity because in an ecosystem there is interaction of organisms as predator prey relationship. This example is also relating with predator prey relationships in an ecosystem.

In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C. a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side chain saturation

Explanation:

Temperature is a factor that has a huge impact on cell membrane structure, more precisely its fluidity. So, for example, if temperature increases, the cell membrane becomes more fluid because the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids become less rigid.
