What are the 5 functions of nematodes in the soil

Biology

As carbon and energy flow through the soil food web they are depleted by the metabolic and production functions of organisms. To be sustained, a “long” food web, with a large biomass at higher trophic levels, must receive a high rate of rhizodeposition or detrital subsidy, or be top-populated by organisms of slow growth and long life cycle.

Nematodes are wormlike organisms which can be seen with naked eye, live in water-filled pore spaces in the soil. Nematodes are in large number in the upper soil layers where organic matter, plant roots, and other resources are most abundant.

The functions of nematodes:

  • Free-living nematodes decompose organic material into nutrients and cycled them in the soil by feeding on some bacteria and fungi.
  • Nematodes help in distributing bacteria and fungi through the soil and along roots by carrying live and dormant microbes.
  • They used as food for higher predators, soil microorthropodes.
  • They eat disease-causing organisms, thus suppress their growth.
  • They acts as potential bio- control agents.

What would most likely happen to the chipmunk population in 2014 if the population went up to 22 million in 2013?
meriva

The answer is:

C. The chipmunk population will crash.

Explanation:

This is because the population would reach conveying capacity. This way, the support would be extended and inadequate to sustain the high Chipmunk population. The increased competition for scant resources between the Chipmunks would result in continued deaths rate of individuals that is important than the birth rate.

Why the membrane potential is negative, if there is a higher concentration of positive ions inside the cell than outside (counte
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Net membrane potential is equal to the difference of positive charge and negative charge existing at the inner and outer side of the cell respectively. Since outer negative charge is higher in concentration, the net membrane potential is negative

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential defined as the net difference of ion concentration existing at the inner and outer side of a cell membrane at nay instance.  

When the cell is at the resting potential, the positive potassium ion starts accumulating at the inner surface of the cell membrane as it becomes favors positive potassium ion. This leads to development of negative potential at the outer side of cell membrane by the accumulation of negative ions or charges. Hence, a net negative potential membrane develops.

Where would higher levels of potential evapotranspiration occur on an average?
atroni [7]
Potential evapotranspiration is higher in the summer, on less cloudy days, and closer to the equator, because of the higher levels of solar radiation that provides the energy for evaporation. Evapotranspiration is the sum of evaporation and plant transpiration from the Earth's land and ocean surface to the atmosphere. Evaporation accounts for the movement of water to the air from sources such as the soil, canopy interception, and water bodies. Transpiration accounts for the movement of water within a plant and the subsequent loss of water as vapor through stomata in its leaves.
