Why Is CO2
It is required for Internal respiration
Why Is Phosphorus+Nitrogen Required by organisms
Answer Both
Phosphorus is required to make Protein+Nucleic Acids
Nitrogen is Required for Amino Acids And For Plants to grow
What is an example of a Keystone Species
A Wolf By regulating prey populations
Why does primary succesion take longer
Because of the rocks and ash that are covering the soil
What is Density Independent Factors. Examples?
Factors which regulate growth of a population not accounting for its density.
temperature, natural disasters
