European Starlings have a significant impact on their environment because they congregate in such large numbers. They probably play a role in seed dispersal because of their consumption of a wide variety of fruits. European Starlings also control some insect populations, but since they will eat almost anything they cannot be relied upon to eat only pests. Insects they are known to feed on include the larvae of craneflies (Tipulidae) and moths (Lepidoptera) as well as mayflies (Ephemeroptera), dragonflies and damsel flies (Odonata), grasshoppers (Orthoptera), earwigs (Dermaptera), lacewings (Neuroptera), caddis flies (Trichoptera), flies (Diptera), sawflies, ants, bees and wasps (Hymenoptera) and beetles (Coleoptera). They will also eat small vertebrates such as lizards and frogs, as well as snails (Gastropoda) and earthworms (Annelida). European Starlings have a particular technique of inserting their closed bill into the ground or an object and then prying the bill open, creating a small hole. This allows them to forage efficiently in soil and among roots as well as in feed troughs and on the backs of ungulates where they search for ectoparisites.
Answer:a MONOCOT
Explanation: Monocots are plants with one cotyledons in their seeds.monocots are flowery plant ,which makes them angiosperms.
Dicots are also angiosperms but they contain two cotyledons in their seeds.
Monocots have parallel venation-the vascular bundles runs down the leaf singly and do not branch.
These leaves of Monocots are alternately arranged on the stem.
The petals of Monocots flowers are arranged in groups of three's.
The pollen grain of Monocots are pollen grains of monocots are monosulcate.the pollen grains have a single slit, which opens to allow the the growth of the pollen tube during fertilization .
When an ecosystem has a scarce nutrient, that is when there is a nutrient limitation.
So the answer is C. <span>Nitrogen is typically the limiting nutrient in freshwater environments.
This is because Nitrogen is the "scarce" nutrient </span>
Answer:
Viruses replicate only inside host cells.
Explanation:
<u>Viruses are not used as evidence to support the cell theory because they are not considered a cell and cannot carry out vital life processes without getting into host cells. </u>
According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of life, all living organisms are made up of cells and cells arose from preexisting cells. A virus that is not in a host cell is just a piece of DNA/RNA surrounded by a protein coat and is not capable of carrying out any life process for it to be considered living.
<em>Viruses are only able to reproduce and multiply when they get access to a living host. They use the genetic mechanisms of the host to replicate their DNA/RNA using the lytic or lysogenic cycle. Hence, they are not used to support the cell theory. </em>
Answer:
Temperate coniferous forest is a terrestrial biome defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature. Temperate coniferous forests are found predominantly in areas with warm summers and cool winters, and vary in their kinds of plant life.
