Does the number of chromosomes correspond to the complexity of an organism?

Biology
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago

<span>No, not at all. Adders-tongue, a plant, has 1260 chromosomes whereas humans have 46. A few more examples; pineapples 50, elephant 56, potato 48. We wouldn't consider potatoes more complex than we are at all. Chromosome count has nothing to do with complexity, intelligence, or any other way we try to rate ourselves and other species.</span>

Can someone please help me answer questions 16-20 please. Thank you!!
torisob [31]

Answer:

16) 6 electrons

17) 6 protons

18) 6 neutrons

19) 4 electrons

20) 6

Explanation:

There are 6 electrons on the rings in total and 6 protons inside the nucleus. If you count the black cir les, there are 6 of them so there are 6 neutrons. Knowing that the inner ring can only hold 2 electrons the most, 6-2= 4. So there are 4 electrons on the outer ring. Knowing that you can get the atomic number based on the number of protons an atom have, the at pool mic number would be 6.

5. chemical

6. producers

7. food

8. energy

9. organisms

10. herbivores

12. Heterotrophs

13. second

Explanation:

An ecosystem consists of a community of living organisms interacting  with each other and the environment. The source of energy that fuels most ecosystems is the sun. Plants use the Sun’s energy to produce food in a process called photosynthesis.

Organisms that use energy from the Sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to produce their own nutrients are called autotrophs. They are also called producers because most other organisms depend on autotrophs for food and energy. Heterotrophic organisms that can’t make their own food may obtain nutrients by eating other organisms. A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is called an herbivore. Herbivores are also called first order heterotrophs. Heterotrophs that feed on other herbivores are second order heterotrophs.
