Answer:

The role of each of the following in the carbon cycle with example is discussed as:

a. Primary Producer:

                                    Primary producers are those ones who take inorganic molecules like carbon dioxide and convert them into organic molecules like carbohydrates. For example: Plants, autotrophs.

b. Secondary Producer:

                                          Secondary producers are mainly herbivores like elephants, provides food for carnivores, consumes primary producer and they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

c. Decomposers:

                             Decomposer are those ones who break down the dead materials of plants or animals and release energy back to the nonliving environment like soil, water, air etc. The example include earthworms.

Answer and Explanation:

a. Primary producers

Primary producers are organisms that are able to produce their own food, also known as autotrophs. The best example to illustrate this group are <em>plants</em>. <u>They have a major role in the carbon cycle as they transform inorganic molecules from the atmosphere, such as CO2, into organic molecules like carbohydrates.</u>

b. Secondary producers

Secondary producers are organisms that feed on primary producers, that is, they are heterotrophs (and herbivores), which are then consumed by predators. For example, caterpillars or rabbits. <u>When these organisms respirate, they exhale carbon dioxide, which is used by primary producers in the carbon cycle.</u>

c. Decomposers

Decomposers are organisms that consume and break down organic matter such as dead animals, feces, and leaves. For example, fungi and bacteria. <u>Through this process, they release CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, making carbon dioxide available for plants to carry out photosynthesis.</u>

Explain how humans would benefit from replacing fossil fuels with geothermal energy.
drek231 [11]

Answer:

There are many advantages of geothermal energy. It can be extracted without burning a fossil fuel such as coal, gas, or oil. Geothermal fields produce only about one-sixth of the carbon dioxide that a relatively clean natural-gas-fueled power plant produces. Binary plants release essentially no emissions.

How does the recessive sickle cell allele stay in the gene pool
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Even though the allele is recessive it is passed down from parent to child and if both parents have the recessive allele it is possible the child will have sickle cell as it is inherited.

Compared the Mendelian Dominance, how to incomplete dominance and codominance increase the number of phenotypes? Provide an exam
REY [17]

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.

For example, consider flower colour.

  • If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
  • However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.

For example, consider flower patterns.

  • If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
  • However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))

You performed a finger sweep for the unconscious, choking child and pulled an object out of her mouth. What is your next action?
AfilCa [17]
For an unconscious child who is choking, the best goal is to remove the foreign object that obstructs the airpath of the system. The basic steps to be performed during basic rescue are as follows: (1) <span>Perform finger sweep (2) attempt rescue breathing (3) perform abdominal thrusts. these steps are done until successful</span>
