The graph provided shows the population of an organism introduced to a new environment, as well as how the population changed over 60 days. After the sharp rise, there was a leveling off of the population. What does this indicate?
A. The life expectancy of the organisms in this population is about 30 days.
B. This environment has only enough resources to support 250-300 individuals of this species.
C. This organism needs 30 days to reach maturity before it can reproduce.
D. This species is unable to reproduce in any habitat beyond a population of around 300 individuals.

dude i stopped reading after the first 7 words but hey you seem real smart thats awesome have a great day

it creates acid rain

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
