It is called endocytosis

Endocytosis is a cellular process and a form of active transport in which food or other substances are transported into the cell through the cell membrane. In this process, the substance to be transported is enclosed by a part of the cell membrane which later buds off in the cell to produce a vesicle that contains the engulfed substance. Endocytosis includes; (i) pinocytosis; process of engulfing of liquid substances through the cell membrane and (ii) phagocytosis; process of engulfing of solid substances through the cell membrane.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.

What 3 things are necessary for germination to begin
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

water, correct temperature, and a good location.

Explanation:

Seeds wait to germinate until three needs are met: water, correct temperature, and a good location. During its early stages of growth, the seedling relies upon the food supplies stored with it in the seed until it is large enough for its own leaves to begin making food through photosynthesis.

1. in an ecosystem with four levels—producers, primary consumers, and two higher-level consumers—describe where the decomposers
attashe74 [19]
Decomposers, as the name suggests, decompose dead plants or animals into simple compounds. They feed on dead producers from the first levels or consumers from other three levels. Breaking them down, decomposers release nutrients that producers can use.
In an ecosystem with four levels, the first level are producers, such as plants and algae. On the second trophic level, there are primary consumers, herbivores that eat plants, for example, a deer, a rabbit, a grasshopper. The next trophic level belongs to secondary consumers that eat herbivores, for example, a wolf, a fox. The highest level is tertiary consumers that eat carnivores, for example, a bear, an eagle.
