This diagram shows the count of different species of snakes in a sample taken from an ecosystem. Each shape represents a unique species.
What can you conclude about the sample from this diagram?
A.
The sample richness is 3.
B.
The sample richness is 4. C. The sample richness is 10. D. The sample richness is 14.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i. e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).

Atree root breaking a rock into smaller fragments is an example of both and mechanical weathering. when rocks are exposed to heat, they which can contribute to thermal stress. when harmful gases, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, react with water in the atmosphere, they can produce the agent of erosion involved in stream erosion is when the ground is so saturated that it can't absorb rainfall or when rain falls so quickly that the ground can't absorb the water, forms. a/an is a huge, heavy, moving body of ice that picks up rocks and sand and erodes the ground beneath it as these materials scrape across it. hot arid climates are prone to erosion by rows of trees and shrubs planted to protect fields from wind erosion are known as
