A volcano erupted and destroyed the ecosystems surrounding it. When the lava cooled and new rocks formed, lichen and mosses were

the first organisms to begin growing in the area. What important function do lichen and moss perform in a newly forming ecosystem?
A. Lichen and moss break rocks into smaller pieces, and their remains mix with rocks to form soil when they die.
B. Lichen and moss grow on rocks and form a protective cover that reduces the amount of erosion caused by runoff.
C. Lichen and moss increase the oxygen concentration in the surrounding atmosphere, stabilizing the ecosystem.
D. Lichen and moss regulate the temperature in the area, enabling more plants and animals to survive in the new environment.

ATP is adenosine triphosphate, it is like a fully charged battery in a cell, ADP is basically ATP that has been drained of its energy from a chemical reaction. It is like a dead battery that can be recharged later   ;)

Explain this diagram?????????​
Simora [160]

Answer:

the diagram explains the process of DNA digestion and DNA ligation, which is usually used in molecular cloning techniques  

Explanation:

Molecular cloning can be defined as the process used to synthesize multiple copies of a particular DNA fragment. Molecular cloning requires the insertion of a foreign DNA fragment into an appropriate vector (e.g., a plasmid) through the action of specific enzymes that serve to cut and ligate DNA fragments. DNA digestion and DNA ligation use specific restriction enzymes and DNA ligases, respectively, in order to insert the foreign DNA fragment. For this purpose, restriction enzymes that generate single-stranded overhangs are preferred to create sticky ends which bind by complementary base pairing. Subsequently, a DNA ligase enzyme joins the DNA fragments together in order to create recombinant DNA molecules. DNA Ligation is often achieved by using a specific T4 DNA ligase, while there are many restriction enzymes that generate sticky-ends (e.g., BamHI, EcoRI, BaI228I, etc).
