Infer: Parrotfish rely on corals for protection and shelter. Look at the parrotfish population over time. Why did the parrotfish

population increase at first and then later decline?

Answer:

Lack of shelter.

Explanation:

Although I cannot see the graph of the population over time, I am assuming it was exponentially rising and then began to decline. This is because the parrotfish were able to populate only until the species ran out of shelter. Once it ran out of shelter, the exposed fish began to die due to predators or the environment.

It may also be because of the drastic decline of living coral reefs. As coral reefs die, so do livable habitats for the parrotfish. As a result, the parrotfish decrease in population as fewer corals are available for the fish to live in.

Explain how the chemical structure of the carbon atom accounts for the differences between the male and female lions seen in the
True [87]

Answer:

in male lion, two methyl groups are present in its structure  while in female lion, two hydroxl groups are present in its structure

Explanation:

The chemical structure of the carbon atom is different in both male and female lion because both male and female lions have different sex harmones which are totally different from one another. In male lion, testosterone is a sex hormone whose chemical formula is C19H28O2 and two methyl groups and one hydroxl group are present in its structure while in female lion, oestradiol is a sex hormone having a chemical formula C18H24O2  and two hydroxyl groups are present.

Consider a field plot containing 200 kg of plant material. Approximately how many kg of carnivore production can be supported? A
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

E) 2

Explanation:

The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.
