Summary Introduction

To determine:

How platelets serve a central function in all three phases of hemostasis.

Concept introduction:

Platelets, which are also called as thrombocytes are the membrane-bound cell fragments. They do not have a nucleus and are not considered as true cells. The main function of platelets is maintaining the hemostasis. It is a process by which bleeding was stopped by clotting of blood at the time of injury or cut.

1.) Community Diversity: The brown and orange line represent two different plant communities. a. Which color represents the community with a higher species richness? b. Which color represents the community with a higher species evenness? Relative abundance 0.1 0.04 0.001 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Rank abundance c. What is the maximum value of the Simpson's diversity index (remember, Simpson's index is D = p², Simpson's diversity index is 1-D)? d. If the Simpson's diversity index equals 1, what does that mean about the number of species and their relative abundance within community being assessed?
