Answer:

C) phytoplankton and bacteria

Explanation:

The biomass pyramid represents the amount of organic matter present in the body of organisms at each trophic level.

In an aquatic ecosystem, phytoplankton is the main producer of biomass, it reproduces quickly and has a short life cycle. At times, the biomass of phytoplankton may be smaller than the biomass of beings from other trophic levels, such as zooplankton and fish.

Bacteria are also major producers of biomass, in several different environments. For this reason, we can consider it, together with phytoplankton, the major biomass producers.

The biomass pyramid is a type of ecological pyramid. Ecological pyramids are graphical representations of trophic interactions between species in a community. They represent the flow of energy and matter between trophic levels, along the food chain.

find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 10 inches and a height of 20 inches use a 3;14 for pie .

saw5 [17]

Volume of a cylinder formula:
V= h(pi×r^2)
If the diameter is 10in, then the radius is 5in
Substitute given values into the formula:
V=20(3.14×5^2)
V=20(78.5)
V=1570in

How is the light energy absorbed by plants important to photosynthesis?

4vir4ik [10]

I think that pigments absorb light used in photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, the sun's energy is converted to chemical energy by photosynthetic organisms. ... For instance, plants appear green to us because they contain many chlorophyll a and b molecules, which reflect green light.

I think this is the answer.

Compare the properties of the parent and daughter cells in mitosis and meiosis and explain the reason for any differences.

katrin [286]

Mitosis - 48 chromosomes (diploid cells)
Meiosis - 24 chromosomes (haploid cells)

Diploid cells. Meiosis is the process of cell division by which involving gametes. Cell division is just the same for sperm and egg cells, but they have distinguishable descriptions and labels in the process. Spermatogenesis is for the males’ sperm cells and oogenesis is the process for females’ egg cells. The cell division of meiosis involves the two phases, respectively meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I like mitosis is the cell division that produces diploid cells. These diploid cells are cells that contain a complete pair of chromosomes which is 46. The result is two diploid cells after the first meiosis. To provide clear explanation, in contrast haploid cells only contain 23 chromosomes and are created after meiosis II which is 4 in number.
