Jorge is studying a pond ecosystem in his neighborhood. The pond is home to a variety of plant and animal species, as well as a stop for birds that migrate through the region. One summer, heavy rains wash an unusual amount of fertilizer into the pond. Jorge observes the algae population growing rapidly, and quickly algae cover the pond's surface. Several weeks later, many fish and other animals die in the pond. However, within two years, the algae population has returned to its previous size, as have the populations of all the ecosystem members.

Jorge's observations provide the strongest evidence for which of the following conclusions about the pond?

A. The pond ecosystem has very high biodiversity that protects it from invasive species.
B. The pond ecosystem is resilient to changes in many abiotic and biotic factors.
C. The pond ecosystem can withstand only certain levels of algal growth.
D. The pond ecosystem may change over time, but its species will continue living there indefinitely.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus β€œclears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c Γ— [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (Β½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
