What problems would you expect to observe in an ecosystem without primary consumers?

Primary consumers are those that are herbivorous - they only eat producers. Primary consumers are the link between the base of an ecosystem's chain food - where simple substances are transformed into organic compounds by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis - and the upper layers - where energy is obtained from, mostly, other animals.
If primary consumers were not found in an ecosystem, all other layers of the chain food on that ecosystem would be nonexistent. The ecosystem would only be made by producers.

Ecosystem without primary consumers: say for ex there are bears and fish, right, so if all the bears disappear or just all die suddenly than the fish aka the prey would benefit. Why? well because without having to worry about bears eating them they can live without fear and they can reproduce more families of fish, and even live longer, and also eat more. More prey without predators is basically the dream for prey, prey don't want to be eaten, but that's the food chain so consumers really don't care, they just want to eat, so it would be good for prey to live without predators.

If the genetically transformed cells have acquired the ability to live in the presence of the antibiotic ampicillin, then what m

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The plasmid must express a gene for ampicillin resistance (the protein product of the bla gene codes for beta-lactamase, the protein that breaks down ampicillin). The colonies on the ampicillin plate are antibiotic resistant. This means that they have taken up the transformed plasmids expressing both the bla gene and the GFP gene.

Explanation:

The transformation involved the genetic modification of a plasmid to incorporate the gene encoding the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jelly fish. GFP makes cells glow under UV light.

In genetic engineering, scientists use antibiotic resistance as markers to indicate cells that have been transformed. By incorporating an antibiotic resistance gene such as bla into the vector (plasmid) and then growing the cells in antibiotic media, scientists determine which colonies have taken up the plasmid. Therefore, if the cells survive, this means that they contain the plasmid with antibiotic resistance gene as well as the GFP gene.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Dampak negatif manusia terhadap lingkungan adalah:

Kelebihan penduduk, polusi, pembakaran bahan bakar fosil, dan penggundulan hutan. Perubahan seperti ini telah memicu perubahan iklim, erosi tanah, kualitas udara yang buruk, dan air yang tidak dapat diminum.

Dampak positif manusia terhadap lingkungan adalah:

Melindungi spesies yang terancam punah dan membersihkan danau dan laut memiliki efek positif terhadap lingkungan. Di rumah, Anda dapat membantu planet ini dengan mendaur ulang limbah dan menanam tanaman atau sayuran.
