What is the equation that calculate growth rate in a population including information on migrations
Answer:
Population Growth Rate
It is calculated by dividing the number of people added to a population in a year (Natural Increase + Net In-Migration) by the population size at the start of the year. If births equal deaths and there is zero net migration, the growth rate will be zero.

Choose the correct word that describes the description. When there is very little solute dissolved in a lot of solvent. solute? solvent? saturated? dilute?
Answer: Dilute
The maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent is a saturated solution at a certain temperature is called saturated solution.
Solute and solvent are not the correct description.
A dilute solution has very little solute dissolved in the solvent.
Which describes a target cell? releases hormones into the blood produces a particular hormone recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure destroys hormones in the blood
Answer:
recognizes a hormone’s chemical structure
Explanation:
In living systems, chemical messengers called hormones are secreted into the body via the bloodstream or ducts by certain glands called endocrine glands e.g pancreas, hypothalamus etc. These hormones are meant to effect a physiological change in certain cells called TARGET CELLS.
In biology, a target cell is any receiving cell that has the ability to respond to signals and messengers like hormones. This responding ability of hormones is due to the possession of specific receptor sites for the specific hormones. The receptor on a particular target cell recognizes that specific hormone's chemical structure, hence, will only respond to it.
For example, an insulin hormone secreted by the pancreas will only be responded to by a target cell that recognizes the chemical structure of the insulin protein using its receptor molecule.

Why is flooding more likely after many trees are removed from an area?
A. Without the trees, evaporation rates slow down.
B. Without the trees, water runs off rather than percolating into the
soil.
C. Without the trees, most of the animals die and therefore don't
drink the water.
D. Without the trees, precipitation increases dramatically.
SUBMIT
Answer:
Without the trees, water runs off rather than percolating into the
soil.
Explanation:
Flooding is the excessive flow of water due to increased rainfall. It usually deprives the soil of the affected area of essential nutrients. However, the presence of trees in an area can help prevent or reduce the possibility of flooding. The roots of large trees help hold the soil together, which improves the porousness of the soil. Also, trees store water that is meant to runoff.
Without the trees, the absorption or percolation of water into the ground/soil will be reduced, hence, the excess water runsoff the surface leading to flooding.

Explanation:
Answer:
a testable prediction that regards the possible outcomes of a study. (aka an educated guess)
Explanation:
The initial building block in the scientific method is a scientific hypothesis. It is defined by many as a "informed guess," based on prior experience and observation. While this is true, the definition can be extended. The theory also provides an interpretation as to why the assumption could be right.

On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon Macondo oil well drilling platform released 4 million barrels (636,000 cubic meters) of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It took scientists and engineers nearly three months and several different attempts to cap the well. The Macondo oil well was located 1524 m (5000 feet) below the surface of the water, about 80 km (50 miles) off the coast of Louisiana. The spill affected 2113 km (1300 miles) of shoreline along the coasts of five states. Most crude oil contains 84–87% carbon by weight. Scientists have not yet fully assessed the environmental impact of the accident.
Computer modeling can be used to help improve cleanup and response systems for the next major oil spill. Which of these uses demonstrates how computer modeling can be used to minimize the impact of another spill?
a
Creating a model of how the oil spread through the Gulf of Mexico to predict what areas need the greatest amount of protection.
b
Calculating the total oil that entered the Gulf of Mexico during the spill.
c
Recording the number and type of each dead organism collected during the spill.
d
Finding the average flow rate of the oil through the burst pipeline during the spill.
Answer:
I would pick a, because if you can see where the most oil spills or where it flows it will be easier to predict when another spill is about to happen.

Two next-door neighbours use very different strategies when it comes to landscaping their front yards. One neighbour plants a front lawn of lush green grass that requires regular watering and fertilizer application. The other neighbour uses
stone pathways that wind through a variety of drought-resistant wild flowers and shrubs that are native to the area.
Explain why the drought-resistant wild flowers and native shrubs contribute more to the sustainability of a yard than does the lush green grass.
Answer: When the city/county/state/region declares a drought and stops the use of water on lawns, the green stuff dies.The guy with the drought resistant set up will hardly notice any difference in the look of his yard.
Explanation:
It is observed In the case of grass lawns, that the lush green grasses have more requirements as compared to the area covered with wildflowers and shrubs.
What are their requirements?The requirements include one of the most essential elements water. Compared to the drought-resistant plants grown by the second neighbor, the grass lawns require a large amount of water for their growth. This in turn adds a burden in the form of water requirements.
How do they survive?Drought-resistant plants take nutrients in the form of nourishment and protection whereas the grass requires the use of fertilizers as well as chemical pesticides to provide resistance to the grass against the potent pests and due to the requirement of a large amount of water by the lawns, there are chances of these chemicals getting washed away and entering into a nearby water source, and they don't get enough of the nourishment.
The drought-resistant varieties and the native plants are more potent to survive the conditions already present there and thus are more sustainable.
