Plants are very crucial for maintenance of balance of ecosytem as part of the equilibrium and the primary basis for the ecosystem as the producers.
Explanation:
The ecosystem consists of plants with animals and the environment surrounding it. The balance of all three elements is essential for the co existence of the ecosystem. devoid of any or excess of either factor will lead to destruction.
The imbalance so caused will lead to over production or over consumption of the strata in the ecosystem. Plants holds the producer level of the ecosystem which forms the basis to all, if dis-balanced all the factors relying on it will decline eventually and the world will fall.
Some Lampreys are anadromous from their lake and they migrate up rivers to spawn.
Explanation:
If the adult fish live in the sea and migrate into fresh water to spawn is known as anadromous and if the adult fish live in fresh water and migrate into salt water to spawn is known as catadromous.
An anadromous fish like salmon, smelt,shad spends most of their life in the sea and returns to fresh water to spawn. A catadromous fish like eels lives in fresh water and enters salt water to spawn.
Sea lamprey brings nutrients into fresh water and provide a source of food for various birds, fish, mammals and people. The newly transformed lamprey can live only for few months in fresh water .
The females deposit a large number of eggs in nest made by males in the streams with strong current. Spawning is done by death of the adults
Answer:
In normal conditions, introns serve following functions in the body of an organism:
1) They contain genes of miRNA which are known as Mirtrons, reverse transcriptase, endonucleases, transposase etc.
2) It is because of presence of introns that alternative splicing of mRNA is possible. The sex determination in drosophila is based on alternative splicing.
Apart from this, alternative splicing can be useful and beneficial in an unforeseen situation such as an environmental problem which is faced by the organism for the first time.
Explanation:
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism because with the help of alternative splicing different type of proteins can be synthesized from the same pre mRNA transcript. In case suddenly the surrounding environment of an organism is changed and the environmental conditions have become extremely harsh due to which organism's life is at stake, in such situation organism may make a different type of protein through alternative splicing which can help the organism in survival.
Default splicing in Drosophila leads to the development of male off-spring while female off-spring is produced as a result of alternative splicing.
The answer is the endogenous opiate.
The human body naturally produces its own opiates like substances and uses them as neurotransmitters. These substances include endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphin, often collectively known as endogenous opioids. Endogenous opioids modulate our reactions to painful stimuli.
