Virus: an infective agent that typically consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat, is too small to be seen by light microscopy, and is able to multiply only within the living cells of a host.
Bacteria: a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus, including some which can cause disease.
Fungi/fungus: any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, including molds, yeast, mushrooms, and toadstools.
Protozoa: a phylum or group of phyla that comprises the single-celled microscopic animals, which include amoebas, flagellates, ciliates, sporozoans, and many other forms. They are now usually treated as a number of phyla belonging to the kingdom Protista.
The organisms that create all the usable food energy on Earth are called the producers. These organisms are able to produce food through the different resources such as the energy from the Sun, the carbon dioxide, and water and minerals that they absorb from the soil
Using a slow- and fast-growing variant of bamboo, Wei and colleagues looked at cell division, growth, and gene expression (through transcriptomics, which measures all the genes being expressed by an individual) to discover which genes may be responsible for fast growth in bamboo. They found that the slow-growing variant had reduced expression of genes relating to cell wall construction, the plant hormone auxin (important for cell growth and cell division), and had irregular cell growth and cell walls. Wei and colleagues suggest that a reduced ability to produce and perceive auxin, combined with a weakened cell wall, are responsible for the slow growth seen in the bamboo variant.
Answer:
B. Hardness
Explanation:
Physical properties of a substance is defined as the properties which can be observed or measured without changing the composition of matter.
Physical properties include odor, appearance, color, texture, boiling point, melting point and many others.
Hardness is a physical property of a substance as it describes the resistance of substance to deformation and can be observed by simple touch or without changing the composition of matter.
While reactivity, toxicity and flammability are chemical properties of substances that change one type of matter into another type.
Hence, the correct option is B.
An increase in the available water in an ecosystem would increase the sustainability of an ecosystem.
An increase of human interference can negatively impact local flora and fauna populations.
A decrease in the amount of sunlight would negative impact plants.
A decrease in the number of available producers will negatively impact the entire food chain/food web.
