what are two major roles that protists play in aquatic food chains

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthetic protists serve as producers of nutrition for other organisms.

Protists like zooxanthellae have a symbiotic relationship with coral reefs; the protists act as a food source for coral and the coral provides shelter and compounds for photosynthesis for the protists.

Which equation best represents conservation of matter?

A 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

B 6H2O + 6CO2 → C3H6O3 + 3O2

C 3H2O + 3CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

D 6H2O + 10CO2 → C6H12O6 + 4O2

Answers

Answer:

A 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a system. In other words, when elemental matter undergoes a reaction, the amount of elements used must be equal the amount produced.

The equations in this question depicts the overall photosynthetic process where CO2 combines with H2O to produce C6H12O6 and O2. In order for this equation to obey the "conservation of matter", each individual element must be equal on both the reactant and the product side i.e. the equation must be balanced.

The equation that fulfills this is:

6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Hence, it correctly describes the conservation of matter.

Answers

Answer:

1. Archaea

2. Binomial nomenclature

3. Eubacteria

4. Eukaryote

5. Morphology

6. Prokaryote

7. Reproductive isolation

Explanation:

Archaea are microorganisms without a cell nucleus (i.e., prokaryotes), which were originally classified as Archaebacteria. Nowadays, procaryotic organisms are classified into two domains: Archea (Archaebacteria) and Bacteria (Eubacteria). These organisms are characterized by the lack of membrane-bound organelles. On the other hand, the domain Eukaryota consists of organisms that have their nuclei enclosed by a membrane. This domain is divided into four kingdoms: Protista, Plantae, Fungi and Animalia. Binomial nomenclature is a classification system to name species, where the first word of the name indicates the genus of the species and the second part of the name indicates the species within the genus. Finally, reproductive isolation is a term used to indicate physiological, mechanical, behavioral and geographical barriers that prevent interbreeding between two different species.

Grassland songbirds often nest in the same grassland-wetland complexes as waterfowl, particularly in a certain part of those complexes, namely, upland habitats surrounding wetlands. Although some wildlife management procedures directed at waterfowl, such as habitat enhancement or restoration, may also benefit songbirds, the impact of others, especially the control of waterfowl predators, remains difficult to predict. For example, most predators of waterfowl nests prey opportunistically on songbird nests, and removing these predators could directly increase songbird nesting success. Alternatively, small mammals such as mice and ground squirrels are important in the diet of many waterfowl-nest predators and can themselves be important predators of songbird nest. Thus, removing waterfowl-nest predators could affect songbird nesting success through subsequent increases in small-mammal populations.
In 1995 and 1996, researchers trapped and removed certain waterfowl-nest predators, primarily raccoons and striped skunks, then observed subsequent survival rates for songbird nests. Surprisingly, they observed no significant effect on songbird nesting success. This may be due to several factors. Neither raccoons nor striped skunks consume ground squirrels, which are important predators of songbird nests. Thus, their removal may not have led to significant increases in populations of smaller predators. Additionally, both raccoons and striped skunks prefer wetlands and spend little time in upland habitats; removing these species may not have increased the nesting success of songbirds in the uplands enough to allow detection.
According to the passage, which of the following is true about the role played by ground squirrels in the ecology of grassland-wetland complexes?
(A) While not important in the diet of raccoons or striped skunks, ground squirrels are a significant source of food for other waterfowl-nest predators.
(B) Whereas ground squirrels are typically important as predators of songbird nests, their opportunistic predation on waterfowl nests also has an observable effect on waterfowl nesting success.
(C) Although most waterfowl-nest predators prey on small mammals such as mice and ground squirrels, populations of ground squirrels tend to increase quickly enough to compensate for this level of predation.
(D) Although ground squirrels have been known to prey on songbird nests, a larger portion of their diets is usually provided by predation on waterfowl nests.
(E) Since larger predators tend to prefer small mammals to songbird eggs as a food source, a large population of ground squirrels plays an important role in controlling opportunistic predation on songbird nests.

Answers

Answer:

(A) While not important in the diet of raccoons or striped skunks, ground squirrels are a significant source of food for other waterfowl-nest predators.

Explanation:

According to the passage, some predators of waterfowl nests prey opportunistically on songbird nests.  Therefore, some wildlife management procedures directed at waterfowl, such as habitat enhancement or restoration, may also benefit songbirds. However, some procedures such as   predator control may not always lead to benefits for the songbirds. For example, some predators of waterfowl nests such as raccoon and striped skunks are not predators of small mammals such as mice and ground squirrels who themselves are predators of songbird nests. So removing the striped skunk and raccoons from the habitat of the waterfowl and songbird nests, may not bring any benefit whatsoever to the songbirds. However, many other predators of waterfowl nests are also predators of squirrels and mice.

Scientific evidence shows that modern dogs, wolves, and foxes all have a common ancestor. Further evidence shows that dogs are more closely related to wolves than to fixes. Which of the following observations provides the BEST evidence that dogs are more closely related to wolves than to foxes? *
A. The diets of dogs and wolves are more similar that the diets of dogs and foxes.
B. The lifespans of dogs and wolves are more similar than the lifespans of dogs and foxes.
C. The genetic sequences (DNA) of dogs and wolves are more similar than the genetic sequences of dogs and foxes.
D. The body sizes of dogs and wolves are more similar than the body sizes of dogs and foxes.

Answers

The observation that provides the best evidence that dogs are more related to wolves than to foxes is the DNA sequence of dogs and wolves being more similar than that of dogs and foxes.

The DNA is a molecule that stores the genetic information of organisms. Thus, closely related organisms have similar information on their DNA, usually indicated by similar nucleotide sequences.

Therefore, if dogs and wolves are more closely related in ancestry than dogs and foxes, the DNA sequence of dogs and wolves will be more similar than the DNA sequence of dogs and foxes.

Explanation:

Answer:

An advantage of sexual reproduction is that a genetic disorder in a parent might not affect the offspring​.

Explanation:

Since there are only two types of reproduction, sexual and asexual, andin asexual reproduction, the offspring gets all the qualities of the parent, we can determine that the offspring might not get the genetic disorder from the parent IF it is sexual. That is because there are 2 parents, hence giving a 50-50 chance to get it.

D) cold and dry

Answers

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its c

Explanation:

Warm and moist kind of air mass forms over tropical waters that have been heated by the sun. Hence option C is correct.

What are topical waters?

Topical waters are defined as water between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° North latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° South latitude). In the Köppen climatic classification, a tropical climate is one in which the average monthly temperature is over 18°C. There is no winter season and there is more annual rainfall than annual evaporation.

A good illustration of this kind of fish is the goldfish. On the other hand, "tropical" or "warm water" fish require a water temperature that is optimal for their comfort and health. Although different species of fish have varying needs, tropical fish generally demand water that is between 76 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (25 and 27 degrees Celsius).


Thus, warm and moist kind of air mass forms over tropical waters that have been heated by the sun. Hence option C is correct.

Glycolysis involves conversion of glucose to pyruvate after which it enters into the kreb's cycle to be converted into ATP which is the energy currency of cells.
