It is answer A, the hippo is not benefitting from the catfish, therefore it is not mutualism.
Answer:
Decomposers
Explanation:
The diagram in this question illustrates a food web, which is a series of interlinked food chains in an ecosystem. In a food chain as depicted in the image, the arrows point to the organism that feeds on another organism. For example, an arrow is pointing from Idaho fescue to an Elk meaning that the elk will feed on that plant.
Different trophic levels constituting organisms exists in the food web including; producers (plants), primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers etc. However, as observed in the image, a general arrow carrying along all the organism is pointing towards the organism in the question mark. This organism is called DECOMPOSER.
A decomposer, usually a microorganism, is an organism that breaks down dead organisms and returns the nutrient to the soil for recycling. All organisms in the food web will eventually die and when they do, they'll be decomposed by a decomposer. This is why the arrow pointing towards the decomposers include all organisms.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Indeed, <u>the best solution for maintaining biodiversity is to conserve the biodiversity of every ecosystem, since all ecosystems have benefits to humans and the earth</u>.
Ecosystems might vary in the kind of services they render to the planet or humans in general. For example, the forest ecosystems supply humans with the necessary timber and wood for construction purposes and sequestrate carbon/produce oxygen from and to the environment respectively. Thus, the forest ecosystem plays a huge role in maintaining the air quality of the planet in addition to several other services.
The variation in the services the different ecosystems render to the human population and the planet necessitates that the biodiversity of every one of them be conserved. Prioritizing the conservation of one over the other will result in losing some of the services provided as a result of loss of biodiversity.
Answer
I added 4 and 5 as an attachment due to time constraint.
Explanation:
1. at a steady state ca2+ taken by vesicle = 40n/mol
enclosed volume of CSR = 5μ/mg
concentration of ca2+ in vesicle =
40*10⁻⁶/5x10⁻⁶
= 0.008
= 8x10⁻⁹mol/L
2. radius of circle =75nM
volume = 150nm
volume of vesicle = 4/3 x pi x r³
= 1.33 x 3.14 x (75x10⁻⁹)³
= 1.77 x 10⁻²¹
when we convert this we get
1.77x10⁻¹⁸L since 1m³ is equal to 100oL
surface area =4x3.14x(75x10⁻⁹)²
= 12.56x5.625⁻¹⁵
= 7.065x10⁻¹⁴m²
this is 7.065x10⁻¹⁰cm²
3. number of vesicle/CSR
= 5x10⁻⁶/1.77x10⁻¹⁸
= 2.824x10¹²
surface are = 2.824x10¹² x7.06x10⁻¹⁰
= 19.95x10²
The basic needs of all cells in the body are food and water. Just like any other organism, cells live of of nutrients and water collected in one way or another.
Hope this helps! : )
