When a whale carcass sinks to the ocean floor it creates an environment appropriate for succession to happen. How would you expl

ain this phenomenon? The chemical compounds in the whale carcass degrade over time and become fossilized remains that form the ocean floor. The cold water at the ocean depth doesn't allow for the whale carcass to be consumed by other organisms, creating a safe habitat in which organisms can live. The whale carcass breaks down over time because different communities of organisms will feed on the whale for months. The whale carcass is broken down very quickly by a community of fish and bacteria, at the end of which the whale will be completely consumed.

The correct statement is that the whale carcass dissociates down over time as different communities of organisms will feed on the whale for months.  

An ecological succession includes an array of modifications in the biotic community with regard to the variations in the non-living elements like availability of sunlight, water, and other elements along with time, unless and until stability is attained by the ecosystem.  

When a whale carcass sinks to the floor of the ocean it develops an environment suitable for succession to take place as an ocean floor possess low biological activity prior of the sinking of the carcass into the ocean floor, and as the carcass sinks it achieves high biological activity. Various scavenger organisms and a range of decomposers can feed on the carcass. This will lead to an upsurge in the number of these feeding organisms. Hence, it can be stated that the whale has started the process of succession in the previously less active ocean floor.

barxatty [35]

1. Answer;

Light microscope (LM)

Explanation;

-A light microscope (LM) is an instrument that uses visible light and magnifying lenses to examine small objects not visible to the naked eye, or in finer detail than the naked eye allows.

-It allows attachment of the focus wheels and the stage to the microscope. A light source used in place of a mirror. Most microscopes do allow manual light adjustment via a wheel located near the base.

2. Answer;

Scanning electron microscope (SEM)

Explanation;

-A scanning electron microscope (SEM) scans a focused electron beam over a surface to create an image. The electrons in the beam interact with the sample, producing various signals that can be used to obtain information about the surface topography and composition.

-There are two main types of electron microscope; the transmission EM (TEM) and the scanning EM (SEM). The transmission electron microscope is used to view thin specimens (tissue sections, molecules, etc) through which electrons can pass generating a projection image.

NeX [460]

Answer: The correct answer is -

d) a dominant trait that depends on the presence of only one of many dominant alleles.

Glaucoma is an autosomal dominant trait, meaning that presence of single copy of the defective gene is enough to cause the disease.

It corresponds to a group of diseases, which cause damage in the optic nerve, leading to loss of vision and if not treated, it ultimately leads to blindness.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.
