Which statement describes the impact of ocean currents on climate

Biology
1 answer:
Black_prince [1.1K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Ocean currents create changes in the temperature of air over land masses

Explanation:

Oceans capture a lot of heat from the sun than land. This is because water has a very high heat capacity. This heat becomes distributed across the globe through oceans currents. The water vapor that evaporates from the oceans heats up the atmosphere creating low-pressure systems. These create winds that blow up the heat and moisture over land creating rain/precipitation. This influences climatic systems across the globe.

marissa [1.9K]

Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.crossing over of homologous chromosomes during meiosis

Hope this helps.....

Many foods must be refrigerated to prevent spoiling (microbial growth). Explain why honey (which is ∼82% carbohydrate by weight)
VLD [36.1K]

Answer;

-Honey contains a considerable amount of sugar (about 82% carbohydrate) and therefore when a microbe (e.g., a fungal spore or bacterium) lands on honey the process of osmosis causes water to be drawn out of the microbe thus blocking its ability to live and proliferate.

Explanation;

Antibiotics are used to kill or inhibit bacteria growth. Honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which may account for some of its antibacterial properties. It also has a high sugar content, which can help stop the growth of certain bacteria.

-Additionally, honey has a low pH level. This works to pull moisture away from bacteria, causing the bacteria to get dehydrated and die off.

The Lotka-Volterra model produces consistently identical cycles because it is deterministic. The lynx and hare simulation on the
Setler [38]

Answer:

B. In the real world, random and unpredictable events occur, so the Lotka-Volterra parameters vary over time

Explanation:

Lotka-Volterra equations are mathematical models that explain biological prey-predator interactions among two species, considering the following assumptions,      

  • The ecosystem is isolated and closed. There is no migration.
  • The whole individuals are reproductively equivalent.
  • In the absence of the predator, prey shows an exponential growth rate. The prey is in the ideal environment.
  • In the absence of the prey, the predator population decreases exponentially.  The predator environment is also ideal, but it is limited by the prey density.  
  • The predation rate is proportional to the encounters rate, which also depends on density.
  • The predators affect the prey populations, making it decrease proportionally to the number of prey and predators present.
  • The prey population also influence the predator population, proportionally to the number of encounters between the two species.

In these equations, the variable D is the number of predators, and P the number of preys.

The parameters are always constant:  

  • r1: prey growth rate.
  • a1: predator hunting success.
  • r2: predator growth rate.
  • a2: the success of the predator in hunting and feeding.

In nature, there are many factors affecting interactions. Dense-dependent factors and dense-independent factors. Also in reality there are stochastic factors. <em>Stochasticity refers to the variability in the system involving those factors that are affecting or influencing the population growth. Stochasticity might be related to good years and bad years for population growth.</em>

In a real situation, the compliance of the whole assumptions does not occur. The previously mentioned constants might vary, changing continuously the interaction among the predator and the prey. These parameters change in different degrees, resulting in different circumstances for both species.
