The food web above represents feeding relationships in a biological community near a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. Hydrothermal ve

nts are geysers on the seafloor that gush super-heated, mineral-rich water. The seawater surrounding hydrothermal vents typically contains carbon dioxide (CO2), molecular hydrogen (H2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and methane (CH4). Sunlight, however, fails to reach the seafloor where deep-sea hydrothermal vents are located.
As part of an investigation, researchers collected living specimens from an area near a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. Mussels in the collection were found to be dependent on molecular hydrogen in seawater. Also, the researchers discovered multiple species of bacteria living in the gills of the mussels. Mussels use gills for filter-feeding and gas exchange with the surrounding seawater. On the basis of their experimental results, the researchers hypothesized that some bacteria living in the gills of the mussels are capable of chemosynthesis. Which of the following best explains how biological communities near deep-sea hydrothermal vents can exist in a habitat lacking sunlight?

Answer: the bacteria in the habitat are the primary producer that relies on chemosynthesis (ability of organisms to produce their own food by anabolism of chemicals). Due to the the presence of h2S (hydrogen sulphide), the organisms are most probably Sulphur bacteria, liberating hydrogen as by products. This ability means that the bacteria can flourish without sunlight. The mussel are the secondary filter that feeds on the flourishing bacteria population. This build up to form a community whose primary energy source is from the minerals liberated by the vent and hence doesn't require sunlight.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

<em>a. What is the significance of the rainfall? </em>These bacteria resist desiccation, and its dispersion is favored by winds. A decrease in rainfall means a dryer environment, which the bacteria can resist and makes it easier for the cell to be carried somewhere else by winds.  

<em>b. The etiologic agent of the disease is </em><em>Coxiella burnetii</em>

<em>c. This is an example of</em>  a zoonosis  

Explanation:

Q fiber Pneumonia is a zoonosis world-widely distributed and of global importance, which etiologic agent is <em>Coxiella bunetti</em><em>.</em>

  • Zoonosis: Referred to as the infectious diseases that are naturally transmitted from animals to human beings. Among zoonotic pathogens, there are bacteria, viruses, or parasites. They propagate by direct contact, water, and wind, among others. These diseases represent a global importance problem due to the close ties with animals. Zoonotic diseases increase even more as human being keeps dispersing and invading natural wild environments to raise cattle and farm, among other activities.
  • The etiologic agent is the element that propitiates the origin and evolution of a disease. Many bacteria and viruses might be considered to be one of the most common etiological agents.

Populations in contact with goats, sheep, and cattle, use to have a positive result for antibodies against <em>Coxiella burnetii</em>. This bacteria is transmitted to humans orally and by inhalation. The microorganisms resist extreme conditions and are highly infectious. The inhalation of only one cell can produce an important infection in the host. It resists desiccation and any other environmental degradation. They can persist for several months and be transported by winds to farther places. This makes it even more difficult to determine the epidemiologic origin.

g In transcription, the 3'-hydroxyl group of the growing RNA strand: Group of answer choices NONE OF THESE binds to the 5' ribos
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

attacks the outermost phosphorous group of the incoming nucleotide.  

Explanation:

Transcription is the biological process where RNA is formed. As you may already know, RNA is an extremely important nucleic acid for genetic processes and the production of proteins. The transcription has three steps that are called start, elongation and end. In the elongation phase, the RNA strand is growing, at this time, RNA polymerase, which is the enzyme responsible for RNA elaboration, places the nucleotides, in the RNA strand, in the 5' - 3' direction. This enzyme causes the hydroxyl, which makes up the nucleotide at the 3' end of the forming RNA, to attack the phosphorus present in the incoming  ribonucleotide.
