The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers, such as plants and algae, use energy from sunlight to make food energy by combining carbon dioxide and water to form organic matter. This process begins the flow of energy through almost all food webs.

The sun's energy gives power to everything on Earth. Plants use sunlight to make food. Animals get their energy by eating plants. Even animals that eat other animals get their energy from plants. And all of the energy in plants comes from the sun. Energy from the sun is called solar energy.

vovangra [49]

It protects the organs of the body. Think about this..... Your bones are arranged so that each organ is protected. Each bone is like a border so that your organs are not exposed. If you didn't have bone then, if you got hurt then your vital organs could get hurt. It doesn't eliminate wastes from the body because that's the excretory system. It doesn't produce facial expressions since that is the nervous system ( heat is also controlled by the nervous system).

Explain the concept of growth using these terms: differentiate, meristem, elongation, and vascular cambium.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: Well for one, Differentiate is when a cell matures and is used in a specific function. Meristem is a cell which never differeates and constantly divides so it is a mitotic cell. Elongation is the plant growing length wise therefore the meristem elongates the plant. Vascular cambium is the cambium which starts out in vascular bundles of the plant and then grows to form a ring inside the stem of plants that live for more than year- it causes and increase in thickness of the stem and branches.

Vikentia [17]

The most important functions of the complement system are to alter microbial cell membranes and A. initiate an inflammatory response. The complement system is a part of the innate immune system, that is, the system is not adaptable and does not make alterations to the involved proteins over the life time of an individual. The complement system however enhances the functioning of the adaptive immune system by producing cytokines that overwhelm its response.

erma4kov [3.2K]

The taxon that consists of one or more genera (plural form of genus) is the family.

Explanation:

According to the modern taxonomic classification system, there are eight major levels of division – Domain, Kingdom, Phyllum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

Family is the taxonomic order which comes next to the Order and before Genus and consists of one or more genus or genera but sharing a common attributes. The ancestral origin of the family members remains the same.

The kinds of families depend upon the Kingdoms and Orders in the taxonomy. Carl Linnaeus termed family as familia in his classification and divided the major plant groups or families as trees, palms, ferns etc.

Among the family of carnivores in animals, there are many genera like Canidae, Felidae Ursidae etc.
