Answer:

Both biotic and abiotic factors affect the survival and reproductive success rate of fishes in an ecosystem.

The number of predators that a particular type of fish will have will influence the survival and reproductive rate of that fish. An increased number of predators will mean that the fishes will not be able to survive in that ecosystem and will be eaten up.

The number of preys will also affect the survival rate of fishes in an environment. The lesser the number of preys, the more the competition for food among species.

Abiotic factors like the concentration of salts in water will also influence the survival and reproduction of fishes. If a fish is not adapted to live in saline water conditions, then accumulation of salts in the ecosystem might destroy the whole fish species in that ecosystem.

Human activities, like the throwing of wastes into the aquatic ecosystem, drainage of fertilizers in the aquatic system can also destroy the survival and reproduction rate of a particular kind of aquatic animal species.

Last week you were wondering what Jessica and Tom's babies might look like with respect to their eyebrows and earlobes (both Tom
mash [69]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • EE or Ee: thick eyebrows
  • ee: thin eyebrows
  • FF or Ff: free earlobes
  • ff: attached earlobes

Tom and Jessica have thick eyebrows and free earlobes. Tom's mother has attached earlobes, so Tom must have inherited an <em>f</em> allele from her, and because he has free earlobes he must be heterozygous<em> Ff. </em>We assume Jessica is homozygous for free earlobes <em>FF</em>.

Tom's mother and Jessica's father have thin eyebrows, so they are both <em>ee</em> and therefore both Tom and Jessica must be heterozygous <em>Ee</em>.

From the above information, Tom has the genotype EeFf and Jessica is EeFF. If you do a Punnett Square of this cross, you'll get that the probability of having a child with free earlobes and thin eyebrows (eeF_) is 25%.

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, I_{min} =  5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

                                      = 8.5 x 10^{-3} m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x 10^{-3} m

∴ Area of the eye, A = \pi .r^{2}

                                 = 3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}

                                = 5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}

Let P_{min} be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, P_{min} = I_{min} x A

                                              = 5\times 10^{-13} x 5.6\times 10^{-5}

                                             = 2.8\times 10^{-17} W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

N_{min}=P_{min}/E

where E = hc/\lambda

             = \left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}  \right )/548\times 10^{-9}

            = 3.62\times 10^{-19} J

Therefore, N_{min} = \frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}

                                              = 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Describe the path of two parallel light beams in a positively curved universe
GREYUIT [131]

The Universe is defined to be the sum total of everything that we know about: stars, galaxies, clusters, superclusters, voids, etc.
Cosmology is the study of the structure and evolution of the Universe.
It is a subject of great current interest, as the Hubble Space Telescope and other new instruments have recently helped astronomers shed light on many important questions.
There have been many theories about the Universe, but they generally all share one fundamental postulate, the cosmological principle, which has two parts. First, the Universe must be isotropic (the same in every direction).
For example, the Hubble deep field images, extending 12 Gly away, for two completely different directions, are remarkably similar:

During the soybean experiment the nongerminating soybeans consumed around 0.02 mL/min of oxygen. What does this tell you about t
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

B) A little cellular respiration was taking place but not enough for growth.

Explanation:

Germination is a biological process that has a high energy demand, this requirement being fulfilled by cellular respiration. Cellular respiration enables the germinating seeds to convert chemical energy from oxygen (O2) molecules and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cells. Cellular respiration increases as seeds emerge and begin to germinate. In this case, cellular respiration was not enough to fulfill the energy requirements of the germinating soybean seeds, which can be measured by the amount of O2 consumed during this process.
