Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?

Biology

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.

The other answer is correct, but more specifically:

D. They both develop calcium carbonate structures.

The addition of calcium carbonate makes exoskeletons harder/stronger.

V125BC [204]

Answer: No

Explanation: The number tertiary consumers will be less than the number of secondary consumers because as we move up in the ecological pyramid, the energy decreases.

The largest number of organism having the greatest amount of energy are producers.

They transfer only 10 per cent of the total energy they have. The primary consumers transfer only 10 per cent of the total energy they have to consumers.

The number of organism decreases along with increase in the tropic level of energy pyramid.

Explain how an action potential and graded potential are different.
defon

Answer:

Graded potentials are brought about by external stimuli (in sensory neurons) or by neurotransmitters released in synapses, where they cause graded potentials in the post-synaptic cell. Action potentials are triggered by membrane depolarization to threshold.

A doctoral student in biology, Esther Mensah, is reviewing primary literature over RNAi interference as part of her literary res
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

She might study the function of putative oncogenes and/or tumor suppressor genes in AML mice by transfecting small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) which are able to suppress the expression of genes of interest through the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway

Explanations:

The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is a naturally occurring mechanism which is used in molecular biology laboratories to inhibit the expression of target genes. The RNAi technique consists of delivering small interfering double-stranded RNAs (siRNAs, 18-30 nucleotides in length) into the cells in order to inhibit the translation of genes and/or trigger mRNA degradation, thereby suppressing target gene expression. These siRNAs are specifically designed to bind by complementarity to transcripts of target genes (i.e., mRNAs). In this case, the RNAi pathway can be used to study the function of genes involved in AML pathways (e.g., apoptosis, cell proliferation, etc).
