Answer: True

Succession is the phenomena in which changes in the biotic and abiotic factors of the environment leads to change in the ecosystem. A succession is a process in which a biological community is replaced by another biological community until a mature ecosystem is formed this process is influence by environmental factors. Primary succession is the primitive environment where no biotic community previously existed it is followed by secondary and subsequent succession were life forms develop and form an ecosystem. Some of the environmental factors are:

Topographical : These are the change in the region or habitat were succession occurs. Landslides, volcanic eruption, glacier melting etc. are the examples , as these topographical changes can bring reformation of the landscape. The disturbance caused by these topographical changes will allow the disturbance tolerant species to repopulate the habitat.  This can be a transition from primary to secondary succession.

Soil : It is an abiotic factor.The growth of the plants requires suitable soil conditions. The type of soil will affect which species will inhabit the area. The soil moisture and pH greatly affect the number of plant species in an area.

Climate : It can influence the direction of succession. Climatic factors includes rain, wind etc. For example a region lacking proper rainfall the species will be tolerant to dry and drought conditions. The region with heavy rainfall, the species will be more tolerant to moisture. Wind being a climatic factor can cause wind erosion affect the soil quality. Wind can lead to heavy forest fires can therefore, wiped out community.

Design an experiment to answer the question, what is the effect of caffeine on the rate of mitosis in frog eggs? Label: hypothes
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Null Hypothesis: Their will be no effect of the caffeine on the mitosis.

Hypothesis: Caffeine will inhibit the SHSY5Y cell division.

Dependent variable: Various concentration of the caffein compound.

Independent Variable: temperatures of the experimental condition. If their will be any effect of the temperature in mitosis then it will also affect the mitosis of control cells.

Experimental design.

Culture SHSY5Y neuronal cell line in the T-75 culture flask in CO2 incubator at 37 degree celsius. Next day, add cells from T-75 flask in the 24 well plate and allow cells to adhere to the well by incubating plate in CO2 incubator at 37 degree celsius. Add the compound caffeine at different concentration (say 1 microgram, 2 microgram, 3 microgram, 4 microgram) and incubate the plate for 24 hour. Determine the mitotic cells by following assay.

Assay to determine mitotic cell.

The reagent succinimidyl ester of carboxyfluorescein diacetate (CFSE) binds to cytoplasmic proteins. it is fluroscent reagent. And when cell divide due to mitosis, cytoplasm will also divide and hence, the protein which stained with the CFSE reagent will also goes in the daughter cell. Then, the fluorescence of the stained cells can be read on the plate reader.

Prepare the graph of the fluorescence values (Y-axis) verses different concentrations of the caffein (X-axis) and determine the slop of curve to know the rate of mitosis.<u> </u>

<u>Following test and control samples will be used for the assay.</u>

1. SHSY5Y cell line with added caffeine. It is test sample.

2. SHSY5Y cell line added with buffer. This important to know behaviour of cells under experimental conditions.

3. SHSY5Y cell line with solvent used to dissolve compound caffeine. It is important to know the toxicity or any effect of solvent on the mitosis.

What occurs in the light independent reactions?
baherus [9]

Answer:

Light energy is harnessed in Photosystems I and II, both of which are present in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. In light-independent reactions (the Calvin cycle), carbohydrate molecules are assembled from carbon dioxide using the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions.
