Hello. Your question is incomplete. However, I managed to find a question exactly like yours on the internet and managed to realize that you forgot to say that your question asks you to give an example of the statement presented above.
Answer:
A major disturbance from which the ecosystem was able to recover completely was the disease that almost wiped out all of Ireland's potato in 1840.
Explanation:
You may have heard of the Irish Potato Famine, which was a time when the Irish population lived very difficult days, after an illness that almost decimated the country's potato plantations.
The potato was the main source of food for the Irish, but in 1840, a fungus called Phytophthora infestans, managed to infect almost all potato plantations in the country, preventing the potato from being harvested and could be consumed. This created major economic and social problems in Ireland, as people suffered from hunger, poverty and the diseases that arose, which caused many Irish people to immigrate to other countries, or to die.
The fungus plagued the ecosystem for years and only started to decrease in intensity in 1850, once the ecosystem started to recover. Currently, although the pest still exists, the Irish ecosystem is completely recovered and the pest is controlled and is unable to make such an impact.
Answer:
b. actively transport Cl- from the ECF to the external environment.
Explanation:
Chloride cells are cells that are found in the gills of teleost fishes which pump large amount of sodium and chloride ions out from the extracellular fluid (ECF) into the sea or environment against a concentration gradient in marine fish.
The opposite of this process occurs in freshwater fishes where the gills of freshwater teleost fish, cause an influx of sodium and chloride ions into the fish from the environment, also against a concentration gradient.
Mechanism of action
Salt water teleost fishes take in large amounts of seawater to decrease osmotic dehydration. The excess of ions derived from seawater is thrown out of the teleost fishes through the chloride cells. These cells employs active transport on the basolateral (internal) surface to diffuse in chloride, which then is pumped out of the apical (external) surface, straight into the surrounding environment. Such mitochondria-rich cells are located in the region of the gill lamellae and filaments of teleost fish.
Hi. You have not shown the sections this question refers to, nor have you provided more information about those sections. This makes it difficult for your question to be answered. However, I will try to help you as best I can.
Generally speaking, we can consider that there was no growth of bacterial colonies in sections 2 and 3, because, for some reason, the bacteria was not inoculated in sections 2 and 3. What could also have happened, is that the bacteria in the sections 2 and 3 were eliminated, but the bacteria from section 1 managed to survive and form colonies.
Another possibility is that after inoculating the bacteria in section 1, you didn't handle the bacteria correctly in the other sections, leaving that bacteria to dry out and die.
Finally, the culture media in sections 2 and 3 could be inappropriate for bacteria to develop and form colonies.
Energy for the first one and life for the last
Yes, classification system is still evolving together with our knowledge.
But, before changing the name (e.g. of a species) it is important to collect and gather a wealth of information in order to support that change. Classification system is still evolving. The reasons for the changes are DNA analyzes. It is the new way for discovering relation between organisms and put them in the right context (classification used to be based on morphological characteristics).
Change in classification can be shown in an example of fungi. In the 90s fungi classification included only phyla Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Now theyhave been classified mainly on the basis of characteristics of their sexual reproductive structures. So, there are 7 phyla now: Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota
