According to endosymbiosis theory, the mitochondria was once free-living prokaryotic cell. The cell was engulfed by other cell (host cell) via the process of phagocytosis.
The “eaten” cell survived inside the host. The host cell provided a nutrition and safe environment to live and the future mitochondria produced energy that the host cell can use. Over time the organelle and the host cell have evolved together.
<h2>Energy </h2>
Explanation:
Energy flows in only one direction through an ecosystem
- The Sun supports most of Earth's ecosystems
- Plants create chemical energy from abiotic factors that include solar energy and chemosynthesizing bacteria create usable chemical energy from unusable chemical energy
- The food energy created by producers is passed to consumers, scavengers, and decomposers
- Energy flows through an ecosystem in only one direction, it is passed from organisms at one trophic level or energy level to organisms in the next trophic level
- Most of the energy at a trophic level – about 90% – is used at that trophic level and organisms need it for growth, locomotion, heating themselves, and reproduction
- So animals at the second trophic level have only about 10% as much energy available to them as do organisms at the first trophic level
- Animals at the third level have only 10% as much available to them as those at the second level
The answer is D.) respitory tract
Explanation:
An environment's biology includes both abiotic factors like atmosphere, water, soil, sunlight and temperature; and biotic factors which are living components of the ecosystem. These factors lead to a gradual change of an ecosystem over time; however, humans drastically impact the environment through over-exploitation and pollution- we disrupt normal abiotic and biotic interactions. Furthermore, human impact can lead to population die-offs and extinction events, along with food and water scarcity.
Human impact on the environment can manifest as:
- overpopulation- natural resources are over used, and habitats cannot support human communities;
- urban communities also expand by cutting down trees in deforestation- this leads to erosion and flooding;
- burning fossil fuels- this reduces air quality and adds carbon dioxide to the environment leading to global warming;
- pollution- adding contaminants to the atmosphere, waterways, soil etc.
Leaves change in the fall via a natural process; in green leaves the photosynthetic pigment, Chlorphyll a is produced in significantly lower amounts. Other pigment molecules that absorb and reflect different wavelengths exist in larger concentrations- their effect is more apparent, leading to visibly orange-red leaves.
