Well-structured ETP3702 Assignment 6 (ANSWERS) Semester 1 2024 - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED. (DETAILED ANSWERS - DISTINCTION GUARANTEED!). A family business is an organisation that in which either the individuals who established or acquired the firm or their descendants significantly influence the strategic decisions and life course of the firm. The chief reason why family businesses fail is lack of a written succession plan (Tatoglu, Kula & Glaister, 2008). Furthermore, only 30 per cent of family ...

Honors Biology- Ecology Questions and Answers Already Passed What is an abiotic factor in an ecosystem? An abiotic factor is a non-living component of an environment, such as temperature, water, and soil. How does succession contribute to ecosystem development? Succession is the gradual process of change in species composition in an ecosystem over time, leading to a stable climax community. What distinguishes primary succession from secondary succession? Primary succession oc...

Ecology Science Olympiad with Certified Solutions Succession progressive replacement of one community by another until a stable climax is established 2 types of succession Primary: succession of vegetation from a barren desert or water to a climax community Secondary: Biotic communities develop in a place where the natural vegetation is gone but soil is present Climax Community community of vegetation (plants, trees, fungi, etc) that have reached a steady state Selection a...

Marshes A large plot of land in a grassland ecosystem was converted for agriculture. After four decades of agricultural use the land was abandoned and began to revert to its original grassland state. This is an example of which of the following? A. Primary succession B. Secondary succession C. Climax community D. Ecosystem management - Answer...

What is community ecology? the study of interactions between species and how they influence community structure and function Ecologists define a community as: species within a particular place that interact or potentially interact Disturbance: A discrete event that disrupts an ecosystem or community Succession: the repeatable change in community composition through time following a disturbance Succession is affected by: self thinning, life history traits Primary succession: initial establis...

What is marine ecology? correct answers The study of interactions between an organism and their abiotic and biotic habitats. And how these interactions affect the distribution and abundance of organisms What is the difference between micro and macroevolutio? correct answers microevolution: changes in genetics over time that lead to new phenotypic features or life history macroevolution: changes in genetics over time that lead to a new species What is commensialism? correct answers A symbi...
