  • Robert Paine actually coined the term keystone species to describe the effect that the sea stars had on biodiversity in this community
  • Keystone species are those species which are least abundant but play a governing role to decide the structure and function of community
  • Loss of keystone species in a community can lead to disturbance in structure and function of a community and it cannot be recovered by other species

Plant cells cannot change glucose to starch. true or false
melamori03 [73]

True.

Plants can change starch to glucose but not glucose to starch since starch is useless to them the way it is, so they break it down into glucose. That's why they have no reason to be able to transform glucose to starch.

Further info: starch changes into glucose during a process known as photosynthesis.

What is called the remains of the living organisms used in understanding the history of life on Earth?.
Svet_ta [14]

The remains of the living organisms used in understanding the history of life on Earth is fossils.

Fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies are buried in sediments such as sand and mud under ancient seas, lakes and rivers.

Fossils are the geologically altered remains of once-living organisms and/or their behavior. There are mainly two types of her: Body fossils represent all or part of an organism's body, while vestigial fossils show an organism's behavior.

Fossils form in a variety of ways, but most often form when living organisms (such as plants or animals) die and are quickly buried by sediment (such as mud, sand, or volcanic ash).

Fossils are found mainly in river valleys, cliffs and hills where sedimentary rocks of appropriate age are exposed, and in areas of human exposure such as quarries and road cuttings.
