Why does diversity increase as height above land increases​

Biology
1 answer:
wolverine [178]2 years ago
7 0

Biodiversity rises with altitude initially before falling with height beyond that. Up until it reaches a diversity peak at about 1 300 to 1 800 m.

  • The biodiversity increases at higher geographical locations because There are more hiding locations. They are better for crop growth. They frequently include more than one kind of habitat.
  • As latitude or altitude change, so does biodiversity. As we descend from high to low elevations, the diversity increases (i.e., from poles to equator).
  • While the environment is harsh and plants have a brief growing season in the temperate region, tropical rain forests provide year-round growth-friendly circumstances.
  • This enables the emergence and expansion of several species. On a mountain, there is an initial increase in species diversity after which there is a decline in species variety as you go up in elevation.
  • At higher elevations, temperature drops and seasonal variations increase, which significantly diminishes.

Describe three physical characteristics of monerans?
PtichkaEL [24]
No Nucleus

All members of the kingdom Monera have no nuclei in their cells. All genetic material in moneran cells floats loose in the cytoplasm. In fact, the only parts of the cell that exist in a moneran are the cell wall and the ribosomes. Moneran cell walls are made of peptidoglycan. This is the case for all monerans except for archaebacteria. Monerans also move about using flagella.

Digestion

Monerans digest their food outside of the cell and then absorb the nutrients. Different monerans, however, digest their food in a variety of ways. Some simply generate their own food by making their organic compounds. Others need to feed off of other organic matter, such as decaying material. Some monerans are parasites that feed off of a host and others create a symbiotic relationship with another organism. According to Thinkquest.com, monerans are separated into different classifications by how they feed.

Other Characteristics

Monerans reproduce by both sexual conjugation or asexual binary fission. Circulation is done by diffusion, which is similar to the way they digest. Monerans all breathe differently. Some cannot survive without oxygen while some die if exposed to oxygen. Monerans come in three different shapes: spiral, rod-shaped or spherical. In order to protect themselves, most Monerans are surrounded by a capsule of polysaccharides that keeps them from drying out and acts as protection against other harmful cells.
