Answer:

A respirometer is a device that is used to measure the consumption rate of oxygen by any living organism.

So as the oxygen uses by the organism, the pressure of oxygen in the respirometer decreases and as the pressure decrease some amount of water enters the respirometer.  

So according to the consumption of oxygen water will move inside the respirometer due to a reduction in pressure in respirometer. So the rate of respiration can be calculated because the amount of water enters is directly proportional to the amount of oxygen consumed by an organism.

Secondary succession could occur after a _______.
pychu [463]

Answer:

disturbance has destroyed population in a community

Explanation:

The secondary succession occurs after there has been some disturbance that has manged to badly damage or destroy the populations in a community. This basically means that after some catastrophic event that happened to a certain population or populations, other species moved in to colonize the freed space. There are countless examples of secondary succession in nature, and one of the best is when there is a strong volcanic eruption. The volcano manages to destroy the population of plants and animals in its close surroundings, but after the eruption ends, the space starts to be colonized by new plants and animals step by step until they create a new well functioning community.

Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?
shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.

What is cellular respiration and how does this process ultimately lead to the generation of atp?
BartSMP [9]
Cellular respiration is the metabolic process by which a cell produces usable energy in the form of ATP. In order to accomplish this cells require Glucose and Oxygen to form the reaction which produces ATP and the byproducts of Water and CO2.

In reality its a complex topic however this is the basic form.
