A marine scientist measures the energy found in a system consisting of seagrass and sunlight. After the seagrass grows for one w

eek, the marine scientist concluded that radiant energy from the sunlight was transformed to chemical energy in the seagrass. Does this result validate or invalidate the Law of Conservation of Energy? (3 points)

Answer:

Validate

Change of one form of energy into other can occur according to the law of conservation of energy.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can not be created or destroyed. However, one energy form can be transformed into another form. These energy transformations also occur in ecosystems.  

In the given example, the solar energy from the Sun was used by seagrass to perform the process of photosynthesis.

During the process, the energy from sunlight was converted into the chemical energy of organic nutrients (glucose). Part of these nutrients is used by seagrass as an energy source while rest is stored in its tissues. The transformation of radiant energy from the Sun into the chemical energy of nutrients present in seagrass follows the law of conversation of energy.

Answer:

D. In an ocean heated by volcanic activity

Explanation:

Most of Earth was covered in water, early organisms weren't evolved enough to walk on land at the time. There are some organisms that feed off of volcanic activity and use it as an energy resource and would adapt to the heat.

<em>"Hot spots create volcanoes on the seafloor. If these volcanoes rise above sea level to become islands, and if they occur in tropical waters, coral reefs will form on them. Since the volcanoes are cones, the reef forms in a circle around the volcano."</em>

<em>"Discovered only in 1977, hydrothermal vents are home to dozens of previously unknown species. Huge red-tipped tube worms, ghostly fish, strange shrimp with eyes on their backs and other unique species thrive in these extreme deep ocean ecosystems found near undersea volcanic chains."</em>

What are all the possible sources of genetic variation in sexuaally repdoucing organisms?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Mutation, Gene flow/Migration/Immigration of gene and Recombination

Explanation:

For any species there are majorly three sources of genetic variations –  

a) Mutation – This leads to change in the genetic code with in the DNA of an organism. Sometimes mutation does not produce any effect on the organism. Mutation can produce both positive and negative impact. Its effect is observed in long run as its rate is slow.

b) Recombination – When an organism undergoes sex, his/her genes recombine with the genes of mating partner. The rate of recombination is faster than the rate of mutation  

c) Gene flow /Migration/Immigration of gene – In this gene travel from one set of population to the other. The frequency of gene in the mixed population lies between the original population gene frequency and the migrated or donor population gene frequency
