Question

I need help with 5 Life Science Questions. I will fan and medal! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Answer 1

What are the Questions?

Answer 2

Here is the first one:

Which of these would be directly related to the science of ecology?

uncovering the genetic makeup of the eastern cottontail rabbit
developing strains of corn that can withstand a combination of drought and high winds
learning about foods that benefit the heart and blood vessels
studying how the mayfly population affects the number of trout in a stream

I do not have a guess for this. I need help.

Answer 3

@jabez177 @Awolflover1

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure its D. Ecology is how an organism affects another in its physical surroundings.

Answer 5

@mathmale

Answer 6

First, I need for you to look up "ecology." Doing so would likely lead you to the answer quickly. Exactly what is ecology, and what are some of its characteristics?

Answer 7

Yes, the right answer for the first question should be D. What's the next one?

Answer 8

The study of organisms and the relationships to their environment is called ecology .

Answer 9

Please keep in mind that we do NOT either ask for direct answers nor give them out. It's important to involve the person asking the question in arriving at a correct answer.

Answer 10

Which of these is an abiotic factor of an aquarium ecosystem?

algae growing on the glass
gravel on the bottom of the aquarium This one?
plants growing from the gravel
fish swimming in the water

Answer 11

Okay, I need for you to look up abiotic and biotic factors. Theres a major difference between the two and once you figure that out, the answer will not be nebulous.

Answer 12

"The study of organisms and the relationships to their environment is called ecology ."

Good. Key words are "organisms, relationships, environments."


Next question: look up the word "abiotic" and list all the meanings of this word that make sense to you. What does "biotic" mean? What does "biotic" mean if you place the letter "a" in front of it: "abiotic?"

Answer 13

What makes possible answer #2 different from the other three answers?

Answer 14

The abiotic factors of an ecosystem consist of all nonliving substances and conditions in the environment. These factors can include temperature, light, air, wind, soil, and water.

The living factors of an ecosystem are called the biotic factors. Biotic factors include food and materials that organisms need to survive, and they can affect how organisms interact with one another in an ecosystem.

Answer 15

In general, Miss.Rose, what does "a-" do to the meaning of a word such as "biotic?"

Answer 16

It makes it nonliving?

Answer 17

Well in general. What does the root letter "a-" do to a word?

Answer 18

Since this is Bio, I feel freer to use sexual vocabulary. What does "asexual" mean, seriously?

Answer 19

Thank you for looking up "abiotic."

algae growing on the glass
gravel on the bottom of the aquarium This one?
plants growing from the gravel
fish swimming in the water

Which of the following are biotic? algae, gravel, plants, fish

Which of the following are abiotic? algae, gravel, plants, fish?

Answer 20

Without sexual feelings or associations.

Answer 21

Yes. "without" is the key word here.

biotic vs abiotic ... what's the difference?

Answer 22

"without" or "excepting"

Answer 23

abiotic is without life?
biotic is with life?

Answer 24

algae, gravel, plants, fish are all biotic, except for ... ???

Answer 25

Close enough. Thanks for thinking about this.

Answer 26

gravel?

Answer 27

Why'd you pick gravel?

Answer 28

Because gravel is not living.
Algae, plants and fish are alive.

Answer 29

EXACTLY. Nice work!

Answer 30

So just to be clear, the answer is B?

Answer 31

The study of organisms and the relationships to their environment is called ecology.

What leads you to propose that B is the correct answer?

Answer 32

algae growing on the glass
gravel on the bottom of the aquarium This one?
plants growing from the gravel
fish swimming in the water

Answer 33

Sorry, that question was repetitious. But anyway ...

Answer 34

because gravel is not alive and is abiotic?

Answer 35

Exactly. Nice work. Let's move on to your next question.

Answer 36

What kind of factors are light, temperature, and soil composition?



ecological
biotic
abiotic This one?
habitat

Answer 37

light and temp are abiotic, but soil is definitely made up of various biological materials.

Answer 38

that seems to rule out 2 of the possible answers. What do you think?

Answer 39

So is it habitat?

Answer 40

You know me by now ... I won't say. But I'd encourage you to look up the words "habitat" and "ecology" or "ecological" (as y ou did earlier) before you make your final choice of answer.

Answer 41

Go back and review what you learned about "ecology." Then, look up "habitat" and learn precisely what it means. Which of these two (habitat, ecology) best fit " light, temperature, and soil composition?"

Answer 42

Habitat: the place an organism lives.
Ecology: the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.

Answer 43

Suppose you make yourself a cactus garden (I have one that I like very much). You'd have to worry about the surrounding light, temperature and soil composition. My cacti would be extremely unhappy outside.

Answer 44

How clear is your choice now? habitat or ecological factors?

Answer 45

Ecological.

Answer 46

Here is the next question:

Which of these describes a population?



all the organisms that interact in a lake
all the gray squirrels that live in a forest This one?
an area characterized by a group of plants and animals
a nonliving factor in an organism’s environment

Population: A population is a group of individuals of the same species that exist together at a given place and time.

Answer 47

Do my cacti deal with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings?

Do my cacti enjoy the soil in which they're planted, as well as the nice warm and bright living room where their container is located?

Answer 48

Welp... I'll leave now. Feel useless.

Answer 49

Goodluck!

Answer 50

Thanks for wanting to be of help!!

Answer 51

Here is the next question:

Which of these describes a population?



all the organisms that interact in a lake
all the gray squirrels that live in a forest This one?
an area characterized by a group of plants and animals
a nonliving factor in an organism’s environment

Population: A population is a group of individuals of the same species that exist together at a given place and time.

All the people who live in California constitute a population.

So do all adults who have registered as Democratic.

Answer 52

Which of the 4 possible choices doesn't make sense, or doesn't make much sense?

Answer 53

d

Answer 54

I'd agree. Nice work.

Answer 55

Wait.... do you agree that d doesn't make sense, or do you agree with my answer?

Answer 56

I'd prefer not to respond with "right" or "wrong" but instead would prefer you argue for your answer choice. Confident about it? move on. Not confident? argue why you're right.

Answer 57

I think this is correct because population mean same species. And the answer is only talking about Grey Squirrels.

Answer 58

I think that's a good argument and would accept it.

Answer 59

I've never heard of a "population of rocks." Have you? ;)

Answer 60

They elected an asexual named Rockhead as their president last year. ;)

Answer 61

Here is the next question:

The interactions of earthworms and robins in a beech forest make up which ecological unit?



population
ecosystem
biome
community This one?

Population: A population is a group of individuals of the same species that exist together at a given place and time.
Ecosystem: a system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their physical environment
Biome: Setting, location
Community: A community is a group of organisms or populations living and interacting within a specific environment.

Answer 62

Which answer choice or choices would you eliminate?
How do robins and earthworms interact? ;)
Would a robin vote for an earthworm candidate for president? ;)

Answer 63

No....
Robins would eat Earth worms.

Answer 64

Can I change my answer to A population? I think this one is correct instead of the other one.

Answer 65

How cruel. Does this help at all in arriving at your answer choice?

Answer 66

Yes, this does help.
I think the correct answer would be population.

Answer 67

United States of Earthworms and Robins. Heard of that? I haven't. Don't be offended; I'm just trying to insert a little humor into this discussion.

I have a population of two earthworms and three robins living with me. Does that make sense?

Answer 68

They all fit into one room. ;)

Answer 69

Members of a population generally have significant common characteristics.

Answer 70

haha, No... that does make any sense. But I am not sure what the answer is. I have looked up all the definitions but I still need help.

Answer 71

One of my earthworms flies; the other doesn't do that very well.

Answer 72

Population: A population is a group of individuals of the same species that exist together at a given place and time.
Ecosystem: a system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their physical environment This one?
Biome: Setting, location
Community: A community is a group of organisms or populations living and interacting within a specific environment.

Answer 73

So, earthworms and robins together make up neither a population nor a community. Imagine going to the earthworm-robin Community Center and wondering all the time whether the member next to you would eat you alive. ;)

Answer 74

Yuck.

Answer 75

That wouldn't be very fun. So would the answer be Ecosystem?

Answer 76

Aha... interaction of living creatures within their shared environment? What do you think?

Answer 77

I think that is correct. I mean the Birds and Earthworms are living together, while doing their own thing, even if it means that the Earthworms have to hide from the Robins.

Answer 78

Yes, and robins have to spend a lot of time hunting for those danged earthworms.
Thanks for your interest and perseverance.

Answer 79

You did especially well by looking up all those words. So, you essentially helped and taught yourself. Congrats. Keep it up!

Answer 80

No, thank you

Have a great rest of the day,
~Miss.Rose

Answer 81

Bye, Miss Rose! A rose is a rose is a rose. ;)
