The population of the ground squirrels will be limited by the population of the hawks. The population of the hawks, thus, will be a limiting factor for the population of the ground squirrels. The Hawks are the birds of prey that feeds on squirrels. With the increased number of hawks in the same area as them will put these squirrels in danger. The population of the tree squirrels, however, will have no affect on the population of the ground squirrels. The genetic variability and breeding season are not limiting factors for their population either.
Hence, the correct answer is 'option B - a population of hawks'.
Answer:
negative, inhibition
Explanation:
The experiment in the illustration shows that early succession plants have a <u>negative </u>effect on the late succession plants, and the observation is most consistent with the <u>inhibition</u> model of succession.
<em>That the late succession plant thrives better in the absence of the early succession plants means that the early succession plant has been impacting the growth of the late succession plant negatively. This is consistent with the inhibition model of succession.</em>
There are 3 different models of succession. These include;
- Facilitation model in which colonists modify the environment to favor the growth of later successional species.
- Tolerance model in which early colonists' modification of the environment has no positive or negative impact on the growth of later successional species.
- Inhibition model in which early colonists modify the environment to inhibit the growth of later successional species.
The plasma membrane of axon is called axolemma. The potassium and sodium leak channels leak the sodium and potassium ions inside the cell respectively. The leak channels provide the constant movement of ions across the membrane. Potassium and sodium ions are positively charged, thus entry of positively charged ions inside the cell makes the cell more positively charged than the environment outside the cell. The environment outside the cell becomes more negatively charged. This leads in the negative membrane potential of axolemma.
