Mosquitoes have r reproductive strategy while elephants have k reproductive strategy. R strategy requires that the organism reproduces exponentially while they have a short life span and little care for offspring by parents. K strategy have low reproductive rates while their organisms have long life-spans and offsprings are cared for by their parents.

Mosquitos are an example of organisms with r-reproduction strategy. This means that they tend to overproduce, have many offspring , but do not provide care for them. This happens because those organisms  live in unstable, unpredictable environments, so rapid reproducing is very important. R strategy helps them produce a huge number of offspring, because at least some of them will survive to reproduce.  

Elephants are an example of organisms with k-reproduction strategy, meaning that they have few offspring at a time, take care of them and have a long live span. These organisms occupy more stable environments, usually are stronger, better protected and more energy efficient. Their reproductive strategy is to grow slowly and to produce offspring with high probability of survival.

Adult elephants have few natural predators. However, baby elephants are too small to defend themselves from predators. Therefore, adults protect their young through herding and by raising them until they are strong enough to survive on their own. Mosquitoes produce a large number of offspring to make up for their short life span and the high risk of predation.

What would happen to life on earth if the rates of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in all phototrophs were equal?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

When the level of release of carbon dioxide during respiration and use of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis this results in a compensation point. At compensation point the net available carbon dioxide to phototrophs becomes  zero. As, carbon dioxide is the chief ingredient for photosynthetic products like glucose and oxygen. These products are used up during the process of respiration. When the rates of two processes photosynthesis and respiration becomes equal. Phototrophic organisms will not be able to compensate for lack of carbon dioxide levels. Phototrophs will not be able to produce their food in the form of glucose and hence will not be able to respire too. This will result in lack of overall available food from phototrophs and lack of available oxygen for respiration. This will result in decline of organisms on earth.

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.

stepan [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>There are innermost serious membranes that cover the heart is Parietal Pericardium.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Heart is <em>covered by pericardium</em> in two sides, inner and outer sides. The inner membrane is parietal pericardium and the outer one is visceral pericardium. Pericardium is made up of <em>fiber tissues</em> that strongly protect the heart from all around.

The<em> main function of pericardium</em> is to protect the heart from any injuries and prevent the infections. The serious pericardium helps in<em> lubricating the heart. </em>
