A student listed characteristics of a classroom aquarium ecosystem. Which

Biology
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is "The ammonia is controlled with a filter that uses two type of bacteria."

Explanation:

  • The Biosphere on earth is composed of all the ecosystems, while each ecosystem is composed of the abiotic and biotic components and their mutual interactions. Aquarium is an example of aquatic ecosystem.
  • Abiotic components constitute the non-living part of the ecosystem.
  • Biotic components constitute the living part of the ecosystem.
  • In the aquarium,
  1. The abiotic components include the air, water, heat, minerals, sunlight, fluorescent light.
  2. The biotic components include the aquatic plants, aquatic animals and  the bacteria (in the filter attached to the aquarium).
  • These bacteria are responsible for fixing dissolved nitrogen gas present in the water of the aquarium to ammonium and are called nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • Free living bacteria like cyanobacteria or blue-green algae are examples of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • Fixation of dissolved nitrogen gas to ammonium and then conversion of ammonium to nitrites and nitrates (done by other bacteria) is essential because plants (terrestrial or aquatic) can use only  nitrates as the source of nitrogen for the purpose of metabolism.

Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:

Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).

It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.

Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.

So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.

What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? How do Rosa's body systems work
IgorC [24]

The missing part of the question is as follows:

Rosa eats a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Peanut butter contains a lot of protein, and bread is mostly starch. Rosa plans to go for a run later this afternoon. Rosa is breathing normally.

Answer:

1. The food she ate is peanut butter and bread, the peanut is rich in protein while the bread is rich in carbohydrate which provides sugar (glucose) by breathing she gets oxygen in a sufficient amount to perform cellular respiration (aerobic) to carry out energy for running. Carbohydrates are a better choice of nutrients befors exercise as carbohydrates provide energy immediately.

Aerobic respiration provides a high amount of energy, 36 ATP to be specific, per cycle of cellular respiration.

2.  The carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen she gets from food and breathing react together to perform aerobic cellular respiration to carry out maximum energy. By the digestive system and organs of this system, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is diffused into the blood.

Oxygen also diffused to blood from the lungs and heart with the help of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of her body.

3. By the aerobic cellular respiration process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell helps in providing energy from glucose and oxygen by a three-step process:

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. Which ultimately provide 36 ATP molecules for the cell in a run.
