The use of nitrate or sulfate to produce cellular energy is an example of _______.

Biology

MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration

Explanation:

All living organisms need energy for their life processes. Some organisms utilize oxygen to break down organic molecules (aerobic respiration) while some archaea and bacteria that live in low-oxygen environment rely on anaerobic respiration to break down fuels.

Anaerobic respiration is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is similar to aerobic respiration in the sense that electrons from a fuel molecule are passed through an electron transport chain driving ATP synthesis, but instead of using oxygen (aerobic) as a terminal electron acceptor, alternate inorganic acceptors (elements) like nitrate, sulphate, Carbondioxide etc. are used.

For example, sulfate-reducing bacteria and Archaea use sulfate as a terminal electron acceptor, producing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a byproduct.

Two frog populations (same species) living in two neighboring lakes sing slightly different courtship songs. Increased irrigatio
dedylja [7]

Answer:

C. The songs will become more similar to each other.

Explanation:

To answer this question, first, you need to remember that both populations belong to the same species, so they can mate because there is no reproductive barrier. The only limiting physical factor impeding individuals of both groups to cross was the piece of land before the land got wetter. So once populations got together, individuals can easily mate.

One population´s males exhibit a courtship song that slightly differs from the one of the other group. This difference has a genetic basis. But females hardly notice the difference. All of them prefer loud frogs to quieter frogs, independently of the population to which they belong.

So when the two populations get together, individuals get mixed. Females do not recognize males of their group, and during the breeding season, all females will mate the most with louder males of any of the population. So females from population A might mate with males from population B, and females from population B might mate with males from population A. So after mating season, there is also a genetic mixture between populations.

The new generations will carry elements of both genotypes. So males´ songs will be even more similar to each other. Songs will become more similar to each other because individuals of both populations are mixed and mated, and their genes intercrossed, producing new individuals with genes of both populations.

Resource partitioning results in: a move from the realized niche to the fundamental niche for both species. individuals of each
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

a move from the fundamental niche to the realized niche for both species.

Explanation:

The niche of an organism is the functional role of the organism in the community or the ecosystem as a whole. This include the environment an organism lives and all the jobs it does in it.

Fundamental niche refers to all the possible functional roles of an organism in an ecosystem while realized niche refers to the specific roles the organism is limited to as a result of resource limitation, competition or other factors.

Resource partitioning involves the division of limited resources among organisms so as to avoid competition within the niche.

<em>Hence, resource partitioning causes a move from the fundamental niche of an organism to the realized  niche of that organism. </em>
