This indicator is an estimate of the amount of space on the earth that an individual uses in order to survive using existing technology. This space includes the biologically productive land and water area that produces the resources consumed by that individual such as food, water, energy, clothing, and building materials. It also includes the amount of land and water required to assimilate the wastes generated by that person. In other words, the ecological footprint measures a person's demand on the bio-capacity of the Earth.

A rock sample has a mass of 16 grams and a volume of 8 cubic centimeters. When the rock is cut in half, what is the volume and d
spayn [35]

Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

Which of the following is a good predictor of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems?
finlep [7]

The correct answer is - predator species in a community.

In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.

The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.

If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.

During gas exchange, the cell membrane of a single-celled organism has the same function as which organ system in humans?
victus00 [196]

During gas exchange, the cell membrane of a single-celled organism has the same function as the respiratory system in humans. The respiratory system is a biological system which is composed of specific organs and structures such as nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs that are used for gas exchange in humans. The primary function of the respiratory system is to transport oxygen into the body and to breathe out carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of cellular function

When two plants, both tall, were crossed, they produced some offspring that were dwarves. Assuming that the height of the plant
Strike441 [17]
T- tall allele
t- dwarf allele

This cross needs to be between 2 plants with the same genotype, like Tt xTt

In this cross it would result in:
 1/4 of the plants being tall homozygote- TT
2/4 of the plants being tall heterozygote- Tt
1/4 of the plants being dwarfs homozygote- tt
