Answer:
D. The native snail species will compete for resources with the invasive species and destabilize the ecosystem
Explanation:
In Ecology, an invasive species refers to a species of organism that is foreign i.e. non-native to a particular habitat or environment. They are characterized by the ability to proliferate in growth and compete for space and nutrients with the native species in the habitat they are introduced to.
In this case, the giant african land snail, which is an invasive species, if introduced into a stable ecosystem will compete for resources with the native species of that ecosystem leading to the destabilization of the ecosystem.
The answer is C. Nucleotide
DNA is a polymer. The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a "polynucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group.
Answer:
1. Adaptive radiation: A pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor.
2. Coevolution: A pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other.
3. Convergent evolution: A pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species.
4. Divergent evolution: A pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor.
5. Gradualism: A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps.
6. Punctuated equilibrium: A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change.
Answer:
Water is a covalent compound.
Explanation:
covalent compounds are individual molecules characterized by the sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. Two atoms with similar electronegativity will not exchange an electron from their outermost shell; the atoms instead share electrons so that their valence electron shell is filled.
Example:
Examples of compounds that contain only covalent bonds are methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), Water (H2O) and iodine monobromide (IBr).
Properties:
1. At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, covalent compounds may exist as a solid, a liquid, or a gas.
2. Covalent compounds do not exhibit any electrical conductivity, either in pure form or when dissolved in water.
3. Covalent compounds have lower melting and boiling points.
Earth’s global temperature has changed greatly in the past hundreds of years. This is due to how much energy the planet is receiving from the sun and how it radiates back. Another cause is humans, due to deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, pollution, etc.
