Answer:

In biology, biotic components can be described as the living components of an ecosystem. Abiotic components can be described as the non-living components of an ecosystem. Both, the biotic and abiotic factors are important in maintaining a stable ecosystem whether it be a terrestrial ecosystem or an aquatic ecosystem.

Some of the abiotic factors which affect the distribution of the aquatic life are:

Amount of light: The area which will receive more light will result in greater biodiversity. This is because there will be more number of plants in this area of the water and more plants means that there will be more aquatic animals present to feed on these plants.

Water flow rate: Some organisms in the water are sensitive to high flow rate. More diversity will be seen in areas where the water flow is stable.

Temperature: Although many of the fishes are cold-blooded, yet there will be greater diversity where the temperature will be moderate.

Some of the biotic factors which affect the distribution of the aquatic life are:

Predators: If there are more number of predators than the preys, then the prey diversity will have a serious threat.

Aquatic plants: There will be more aquatic biodiversity in the areas where there will be more aquatic plants.

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with a venule.

Explanation:

A small blood vessel in the microcirculation, which connects the capillary beds to the veins is known as the venules. Various venules combine to form a vein. The walls of a venule are formed of three layers, that is, the inner endothelium formed of squamous endothelial cells, a middle layer of elastic and muscle tissue, and an external layer formed of fibrous connective tissue.

The size of a venule ranges from 8 to 100 micrometers in diameter and are produced when capillaries come in close association. A venule refers to a small blood vessel that permits the deoxygenated blood high in carbon dioxide and waste products to return from capillary beds to the bigger blood vessels known as veins.

During dna replication, the two strands separate as the ____________ bonds connecting the parent strands are broken by an enzyme

Setler79 [48]

During DNA replication, the two strands separate as the hydrogen bonds connecting the parent strands are broken by an enzyme called helicase. In the DNA molecule (double strand) complementary bases are joined by hydrogen bonds; that is; Adenine paired to thyamine and guanine to cytosine; during replication the enzyme helicase separates the double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases.
