Clams that are native to China are living in the San Francisco bay. How can these clams damage the bay ecosystem?
Answer:
Marine Invasive Species are animals or algae that have been translocated from their native region to California marine and estuarine waters. Invasive species are also called introduced, exotic, alien, nonindigenous or non-native.The introduction of NIS can cause harm to the ecosystem by displacing native species, becoming a human health dangerby introducing new diseases, or cause economic havoc on commercial, agricultural, or recreational activities by clogging waterways, and impacting navigation and recreation.
A prime example of the harm an invasive species can cause is Caulerpa taxifolia, also known as Killer Algae, a strain of green seaweed believed to be released from an aquarium directly into a water body or through a storm drain. The Killer Algae forms a dense carpet on any surface including rock, sand, and mud displacing native plants and animals, disrupts the natural food chain, and seriously impacting recreational and commercial fisheries.
Although Caulerpa was successfully eradicated from California marine waters, few eradications have been attempted due to perceived challenges and high cost (over $7M was expended in the case of Caulerpa).
Number of Invasive Species Statewide
The map below shows that all major harbor areas and Bays in California have received significant NIS introductions. San Francisco Bay has the highest number of non-native species, followed by the Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach. San Francisco Bay is a hotspot for invasions because it has high recreational boating and commercial shipping traffic, a history of oyster culture, and is adjacent to a highly urbanized area. Our research found that San Francisco Bay is a hub for the spread of NIS to the rest of the West Coast.

Answer:
Water vapor, Carbon dioxide, and sulfur
Explanation:
Hope that helps
Answer:
Magma made of Water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur.
Explanation:
Like solid rock, Magma is a mixture of minerals. The high temperatures and pressure under Earth's crust keep magma in its fluid state.

new minerals
B. Great pressure from tectonic plate collisions can change rock into metamorphic
rock

Which description explains why there are two high and two low tides in a day? (4 points)
Earth moves closer to the sun and moon twice a day.
Earth revolves around the tidal bulges created by gravitational forces.
Earth rotates in and out of a tidal bulge twice a day.
The moon's gravity increases over the oceans and decreases over the land.
Answer:
Earth rotates in and out of a tidal bulge twice a day.
Earth always has two surrounding gravitational forces, one proceeding from the moon and one from the sun.
The sun's pull, despite the fact our sun is further then the moon, is stronger and creates the high tide, and the moon the low tide. But as we know our earth moves, now exposing the other side to the sun which in turn leaves the other side of earth with the high tides and the other with the low tides. Tides never move, what moves is earth.

Tina is studying chipmunks in a field of 900 square meters. In 2020, she counts 194 chipmunks. In 2021, she counts 231 chipmunks. What is the population density of chipmunks in 2021?
Answer:the population density of chipmunks in 2021=256,666.667 per square kilometres
Explanation:
Population density is defined as the number of population per unit area of land
which can be expressed as
Population density =number of population/ land area
Since land area is usually given in square kilometres or square miles we convert 900 square meters to square kilometres
1 square kilometres =1000000 square meters
900 square meters=900/1000000=0.0009 square kilometres
Therefore, the population density of chipmunks in 2021= 231/0.0009 square kilometres =256,666.667 per square kilometres
The Go' for the reaction Citrate Isocitrate is +6.64 kJmol-1 . The Go' for the reaction Isocitrate α-Ketoglutarate is -267 kJmol-1 . Calculate the Go' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate?
Answer:
ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = - 273.64 kJmol-1
Explanation:
ΔG°' for Citrate is +6.64 kJmol-1
ΔG°' for Isocitrate is -267 kJmol-1
ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = ΔG°' for product - ΔG°' for reactant
ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = -267 kJmol-1 - (+6.64 kJmol-1)
ΔG°' for the conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate = - 273.64 kJmol-1

9. why Energy released by aerobic and anaerobic respiration in animal are not same.
Answer: Anaerobic respiration produces a relatively lesser amount of energy as compared to aerobic respiration, as glucose is not completely broken down in the absence of oxygen. In animal cells anaerobic respiration often occurs during exercise. The glucose does not get fully broken down in this process, so it does not release its full potential energy. Instead of carbon dioxide and water it breaks down to form lactic acid and a small amount of energy.
Explanation:
because light can travel through space, it cannot be a ____ wave
PLEASE ANSWER !!
Answer:
Sound
Explanation:
Sound waves are travelling vibrations of particles in media such as air, water or metal. So it stands to reason that they cannot travel through empty space, where there are no atoms or molecules to vibrate.
Answer:
Matter Wave
Explanation:
When light shines in an object,it is reflected absorbed or transmitted through the object depending on the objects material and the frequency (color) of the light... However, because light can travel through space it cannot be a matter Wave, like sound or water waves

Approximately 20% of the world’s adult population are able to digest milk sugar (lactose).They are “lactose tolerant.” This trait is known to be controlled by a single dominant gene. Therefore, we would expect that
no lactose tolerant individuals have two biological parents that are lactose INtolerant.
all lactose tolerant individuals to be heterozygous for the gene.
60% of lactose INtolerant individuals would be heterozygous.
all children of lactose tolerant parents will also be lactose tolerant.
Answer:
No lactose individuals have two biological parents that are lactose intolerant
Explanation:
In this case lactose intolerance would be coded for a recessive gene (r). if both parents are lactose intolerant the would both be the genotype (rr) . For individual to be lactose intolerant atleast one parent most be lactose tolerant posesing the dominant (R) gene. Which both parents in this example lack.
how does energy cause global warming
Answer:
Global warming is caused primarily from putting too much carbon into the atmosphere when coal gas and oil are burned to generate electricity or to run our cars. These gases spread around the planet very fast, keeping the solar heat that would otherwise be radiated out into space!
