Answer: Valid Statement ✓

Explanation:

Bats have been known to contribute to the growth and restoration of Tropical Rainforests in 2 main ways. Seed Dispersal and Pollination.

<u>Seed Dispersal. </u>

Fruit Bats in the Tropical Rainforest are responsible for a lot of seed dispersal. Feeding at night to avoid predators, they eat fruits from various trees and then defecate these seeds after digestion. Fruit Bats like most other bats are very strong fliers and so cover a whole lot of distance at night meaning that they give the seeds a very wide coverage. Indeed it has been shown that because they defecate the seeds, the seed already has fertilizer to get nutrients from as it grows thereby increasing it's growth rate.

There are also trees and plants that have evolved to grow spiky or sticky fruit that attach themselves to the Bats which then deposit them elsewhere as they fly.

<u>Pollination</u>.

Fruit Bats have specialized long tongues to sip nectar from flowers. When they do this they pollinate the flowers. It has even been shown that some plants evolved to have brighter colours so as to attract these bats to enable pollination to happen. Indeed research shows that more than 125 genera of tropical plants rely on bats for pollination.

if we use a cscl gradient to test the density of various nucleic acids, both rna and dna-rna hybrids are more density than just
Wewaii [24]

RNA and DNA-RNA hybrids are more dense than simply DNA if the density of different nucleic acids is tested using a CsCl gradient.

The primary technique employed in molecular biology is the extraction of DNA, RNA, and protein. Scientists can separate materials according to size, shape, and density by using density gradient centrifugation. Isopycnic centrifugation, a sort of density gradient centrifugation that Meselson and Stahl developed, employed a cesium chloride solution to separate DNA molecules solely on the basis of density. Because DNA has hydrogen bonds between its strands, which makes it less dense than RNA, RNA has a far larger density than DNA. RNA can be obtained at the test tube's bottom using a CsCl density gradient and high centrifugation, whereas DNA can be recovered in the middle layer.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Autotrophs are the organisms which have ability make their own food using various sources of energy. Examples are can green plants and algae such as <em>Spirogyra, Chlorella, Volvox</em> make their food using sunlight carbon dioxide and water.  they are photoautotrophs

Some bacteria are also make their food using chemical energy through oxidation. They are chemoautotrophs.
