3. A food web is an interlocking system of independent food chains. The flow of energy is represented by an arrow. The arrow poi

nts in the direction in which the energy is being transferred. Example: Mouse → Snake (because the snake eats the mouse). Answer the following questions:
a. What do you notice about how plants get their energy?



b. Describe the direction of the arrows in the food web.



c. What would happen to the population of snakes and rabbits if hawks were removed from the ecosystem?

Answer:

  • Plants get their energy from the sun
  • The arrows continue up the food chain

Answer:

Explanation:

a. plants get their energy through photosynthesis with the sun

b. Arrows in a food web start with the prey and go up to the top animals... example would be sun to grass to bunny to hawk to eagle. The web should be interlocking and not have any empty points, unlike a food chain

c. if hawks were removed from the food chain the rabbit and snake populations would increase rapidly. This is because the top predator was taken away. This happened in Yellowstone when people shot all the wolves and the elk populations grew out of control.

I hope this helps you!

Explain how the exon/intron structure of genes contributes to the generation of new gene functions during evolution.
Temka [501]

Answer:

The exons may be defined as the coding region of the RNA that codes for the particular amino acid. The introns are the non coding region of RNA and must be removed in the final RNA product.

Exon shuffling result in the formation of new gene. The alteration of the exon and intron structure leads to the new gene function in evolution. The genes that are favored and conserved in the evolution perform new gene function. The genes that are selected against are deleted during the evolution.

If you could live on Jupiter, what would you see in the sky at night besides stars?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

many moons

Explanation:

None of Jupiter's moons have more than traces of atmosphere, so their skies are very nearly black. ... For an observer on Io, the closest large moon to the planet, Jupiter's apparent diameter would be about 20° (38 times the visible diameter of the Moon, covering 5% of Io's sky).

Which of the following statements about archaea are true cowan?A) They are prokaryotes.B) They lack peptidoglycan in their cell
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

All the options are true except option D.

Explanation:

Archaea are a group of prokaryotic organisms i.e. they lack a membrane bound nucleus. They are one of the the three domains of life (the other two being bacteria and eukarya). Archeans possess a cell wall like bacteria but it is not composed of peptidoglycan, like bacteria cell wall.

Archeans are generally known to be found in very severe environmental conditions, hence, they are referred to as extremophiles e.g Some are thermoacidophiles i.e. thrive in very hot and acidic environment while others are extreme halophiles i.e. thrive in salty regions. Archeans known as methanogens produce methane gas as a product of metabolism from carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

However, the domain archeae was only found to be in existence recently after the domain bacteria, hence, they are not considered to evolve before the domain bacteria.

Which statement is FALSE?Question 39 options: Water can hold an unlimited amount of oxygen. Water can hold less oxygen than air
algol13

Answer: Water can hold an unlimited amount of oxygen.

Explanation:

Water cannot hold an unlimited amount of oxygen because it would get to a point where it is saturated as it needs to hold Hydrogen as well. Air on the other hand, has significantly more space for oxygen as it contains only 21% and can keep taking more.

Underwater organisms need oxygen for respiration and a small decrease in the oxygen available in water affects aquatic life because they rely on it to survive.
