As water evaporates and is absorbed by plants, the water content gradually declines until plants can no longer extract the remaining water held by soil particles. This stage is known as which of the following?
Water-holding capacity
O Field capacity
O Wilting point
O Desiccation

The diagram below represents a marine food web and a process that can harm the human population. each circle represents an organism and the smaller dots inside them represent a toxic substance. what is being represented and how does it harm the population? the diagram represents biological half-life, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents biomagnification, in which toxins build up in organisms higher up on the food chain, and this can negatively impact humans who consume the organisms and the toxic substance. the diagram represents the process by which different organisms prey upon each other; this can impact the human population by reducing the number of organisms that do not contain the toxin. the diagram represents the way that toxins are metabolized by living organisms, with those at greater trophic levels able to metabolize more efficiently than those at lower levels. this means that those at higher tropic levels are safer for humans to consume compared to the organisms at lower trophic levels.

Refer to this portion of a dichotomous key for fish identification to answer the question. 1. (a) has a single dorsal fin ® 5 (b) has a double dorsal fin ® 2 2. (a) one fin is spiny, the other is smooth ® 3 (b) one fin is not spiny or smooth ® 4 5. (a) has small fin on back near tail ® 6 (b) has no fin on back near tail ® 7 6. (a) has barbs near the mouth ® catfish (b) does not have barbs near the mouth ® 10 7. (a) tail is asymmetrical ® 8 (b) tail is symmetrical ® 9 10. (a) scales are small ® trout (b) scales are large ® whitefish what is the next step to complete to identify a fish that has a single dorsal fin, no fin on the back near the tail, and no barbs near the mouth? step 2 step 5 step 7 step 10
