Greenlake is a small lake in Seattle, WA that sometimes experiences blooms of cyanobacteria, photosynthetic nitrogen-fixing bact

eria that typically grow as filaments. These blooms are especially likely to occur during warm summer weather and result in the production of large quantities of biomass that then dies off and decomposes, leading to unpleasant odors. In addition to the looking bad, some strains make toxins that can be dangerous when ingested; for this reason, the lake is closed when blooms occur. Treatment of the water with alum (aluminum sulfate) to remove phosphorus from the water has helped to limit growth of cyanobacteria.How would you classify the cyanobacteria from Greenlake in terms of their carbon and energy sources?

Answer:

In terms of carbon and energy sources, all cyanobacteria are photosynthetic autotrophs.

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms, that is, they have cellular structure that corresponds to the cell of a bacterium. As for carbon absorption and energy acquisition, all cyanobacteria are autotrophic and photosynthesizing, presenting photosystems I and II but not organized in chloroplasts, such as plants. Due to the presence of these chlorophyll-rich pigments, phycocyanins and phycoerythrins, they have been called cyanophytic algae for many years.

What function do teeth play in digestion?
guapka [62]

Answer:

When you put food in your mouth, your teeth break the food into smaller pieces, and the salivary glands under your tongue and on the sides and roof of your mouth release saliva. This saliva mixes with your food to make it easier to swallow.

In response to action potentials arriving fiom the transverse tubules, the surcoplasmic reticulum releases
sveta [45]

Answer:

D. Calcium ions.

Explanation:

Here we are talking about the mechanism of muscle contraction. The most accepted theory of muscle contraction is sliding filament theory. It was given by Huxley and Huxley. During the process actin filaments slides over myosin filament by forming cross bridges. The sequence of events are as follows:

a. An action potential propagates through the motor nerve and reach the nerve endings on the muscle fiber at neuro-muscular junction.

b. Neurotransmitter called acetylcholine is released by the nerve endings.

c. Acetylcholine binds to the receptors on muscle fiber and opens the gated channels which causes flow of Na+ ions into the muscle fiber.

d. This influx of sodium ions initiates an action potential in the muscle fiber which reaches the T- tubules or transverse tubules. Here it causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release large amounts of calcium ion.

e. Calcium ions are responsible for initiating the attractive forces between actin and myosin filaments. Cross bridges are formed, actin slides over myosin causing the contraction of muscle.

AsUsing the word "niche” in your answer, explain why this species may have a
pashok25 [27]

In interspecies competition, two species use the same limited resource. Competition has a negative effect on both of the species (-/- interaction).

A species' niche is basically its ecological role, which is defined by the set of conditions, resources, and interactions it needs (or can make use of).

The competitive exclusion principle says that two species can't coexist if they occupy exactly the same niche (competing for identical resources).

Two species whose niches overlap may evolve by natural selection to have more distinct niches, resulting in resource partitioning.
