which of these is an example of an abiotic factor
A:creosote plant
B:rocky desert soil
C:kangaroo rat
D:coyote

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Rocky \ desert \ soil}}[/tex]

Explanation:

An abiotic factor is a part of an ecosytem, but it is not alive. Some examples include water, rocks, sunlight, and the atmosphere.

On the other hand, a biotic factor is a living part of an ecosystem. Some examples are animals, plants, and fungi.

Let's look at the answer choices.

A creosote plant (choice A) kangaroo rat (choice C) and coyote (choice D) are all living organisms. Therefore, they must be biotic factors.

However, rocky desert soil (choice B) is not living. It's a part of the ecosystem, but since it's not alive it must be abiotic.

Explanation: :)

Rhesus monkeys are more closely related to rabbits than they are to horses. (B) Horses and cows have identical amino acid sequences in their cytochrome c. (C) Humans are more closely related to rabbits than they are to rhesus monkeys. (D) Plants and animals have no similarities at all. (E) Mammals are more closely related to reptiles than they are to fish.

Answers

Complete question:

A scientist used the amino acid sequence of cytochrome c in different species to consider evolutionary relationships.

The data below summarizes the numbers of differences in the amino acid sequences of cytochrome C found in the selected species

Species compared              Number of differences

Human-chimpanzees                              0

Human-Rhesus monkeys                        1

Human-Horses or Donkeys                    7

Human-Cow, Pigs or sheeps                  7

Human-Rabbits                                        7

Mammals-Birds and reptiles                  10-15

Mammals-Fishes                                    18-20

Mammals-Plants                                     45-48

Interpretation of the data supports which of the following statements?

(A) Rhesus monkeys are more closely related to rabbits than they are to horses.

(B) Horses and cows have identical amino acid sequences in their cytochrome c.

(C) Humans are more closely related to rabbits than they are to rhesus monkeys.

(D) Plants and animals have no similarities at all.

(E) Mammals are more closely related to reptiles than they are to fish.

Answer:

(E) Mammals are more closely related to reptiles than they are to fish.

Explanation:

So, what you need to do here is to compare the number of differences found in each comparison. Remember that this information is only regarding cytochrome C. For instance, we can see that between humans and chimpanzees, the number of differences is 0. Their amino acid sequences do not differ at all. On the contrary, the comparison of mammals and plants threw a value of 45-48 differences, meaning that they are very different from each other, almost 50%.

So, this is how you need to interpret the values of the differences in this table. Now, let us go to the options,

(A) Rhesus monkeys are more closely related to rabbits than they are to horses. Rhesus monkey was not compared to any group other than humans, so we could not say that they are more related to one animal or the other.

(B) Horses and cows have identical amino acid sequences in their cytochrome. When comparing humans with horses and then humans with cows, the number of differences was the same -7-. But these results do not indicate which are the differences. Remember that we are comparing amino acid sequences, so probably the number of differences of each group with humans is the same, but the amino acid sequences between horses and cows are not.

(C) Humans are more closely related to rabbits than they are to rhesus monkeys. Humans and rhesus monkeys express only one difference in the amino acid sequence, while humans and rabbits exhibit seven differences. This result means that humans are more closely to rhesus monkeys related than they are to rabbits.

(D) Plants and animals have no similarities at all.

As we mentioned before, plants and mammals have a difference of almost 50% in their amino-acidic sequences. It does not mean that the other 50% is also different.

(E) Mammals are more closely related to reptiles than they are to fish.

The amino acid sequence of mammals and reptiles show 10-15 differences

The amino acid sequence of mammals and fish show 18-20 differences

So yes, mammals seem to be more related to reptiles than to fishes because the number of differences with reptiles is fewer.

Explain how you grouped the lizards and your rationale for the various groupings. If you picked a body feature, speculate about the advantages or disadvantages of such a body feature in the environment that species occupies.

Answers

Answer:

On the basis of physical appearance.

Explanation:

We grouped the lizards into various groups on the basis of similarities and differences in the body structure, appearance and colour etc. The legs of anole lizards are small legs with pads on their feet for gripping surfaces which give them the advantage to climb up the trees while on the other hand, these small legs can't help in the survival on the land because they can't run too fast from their predators with these short legs so these legs has benefit in climbing the tree but disadvantage in running on the land.

Introduction, naturalization, colonization, and dispersal or spreading.

Explanation:

There are four main stages of invasion i.e. introduction, naturalization, colonization, and dispersal or spreading. In the first stage, the specie is introduced in the environment, in the second stage the specie adopt the environment, in the third stage the specie started growth and make colonies to increase its population and in the last stage the specie disperse in the environment through different means and spreading of that organism occur. The failing of adaptation to the environmental conditions leads to the failing of invasion of a specie.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body. Calcium ions are needed for bone mineralization and tooth health,
regulation of the heart rate and strength of contraction, blood coagulation, contraction of smooth and skeletal muscle cells, and
regulation of nerve impulse conduction. When blood levels of calcium get too high, the thyroid gland is stimulated to release
calcitonin, which initiates actions to lower blood levels of calcium.
Consider the role of calcitonin. ALL BUT ONE is the result of the release of calcitonin by the thyroid gland.
A)

B)

Which wave interaction is shown by the diagram? o absorption o diffraction o reflection o refraction ​

Answers

Answer:I agree

Explanation:

Diffraction wave interaction is shown by the diagram.

What do you mean by diffraction?

Diffraction is defined as the interference or bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.

The most common example of diffraction occurs with water waves which bend around a fixed object. Light bends similarly around the edge of an object. The animation shows wave fronts passing through two small openings.

Diffraction results from the interference of an infinite number of waves emitted by a continuous distribution of source points. According to Huygens' principle every point on a wave front of light can be considered to be a secondary source of spherical wavelets.
