Scientists have a theory about the relationship between climate and biodiversity. which best describes this theory? a) warmer climates promote higher biodiversity, allowing plants to grow year-round. this supports more organisms that rely on plants. b) colder climates promote higher biodiversity, reducing the competition among organisms for food. this supports stronger organisms that live longer. c) warmer climates promote higher biodiversity because they tend to receive more rainfall. this provides a source of water for more organisms. d) colder climates promote higher biodiversity because they are usually larger in size. this provides space for more organisms.

One gene can influence trait(s). one trait can be determined by gene(s).

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).
