Answer:

Carl Richard Woese

Explanation:

He was an American microbiologist and biophysicist. His main focus was upon genetic codification.

in 1977, Carl Woese and George E. Fox discovered a kind of microbial life which they called the “archaebacteria”. It composed "a third kingdom" of life different from bacteria, plants and animals. His three-domain system, divided life into 23 main divisions, incorporated within three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucarya.

Answer:

Carl Woese

Explanation:

Earlier scientists used to divide organisms in two major groups, the prokaryotes which consisted of bacteria and the eukaryotes which consisted of all the other higher organisms. Carl Woese divided organisms in three groups: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes. He concluded that Archaea are more similar to eukaryotes than to bacteria. Previously Archaea were thought to inhabit only hostile extreme places but now they have also been discovered in other less hostile environment.

Archaea are similar to bacteria when it comes to morphology. But the process of translation and transcription is significantly different from bacteria and resembles eukaryotes more. Their cell membrane have unique ether linked lipids for more stability and they have some unique metabolic pathways like methanogenesis.

Explain how the reduction in biodiversity can effect the ecological balance in the dam
hodyreva [135]
<span>Damming a river has a variety of effects on the freshwater ecosystem, more than just altering the flow from A to B.  Dams create calm bodies of water, changing overall temperature regimes and sediment transport, leading to conditions which tend to favour generalist species. Loss of specialist species, particularly endemics, changes the community structure and leads to biotic homogenization.  A dam will withhold sediment in the reservoir, not just decreasing the amount of substrate available to local freshwater species, but even impacting diadromous, estuarine and marine species much further downstream.  The competition between resident species for food and breeding sites will increase as damming isolates populations, and perhaps more importantly, damming completely restricts migratory fish species.  Isolation may lead to decreases in genetic diversity and therefore puts species at greater risk from disease.  All of these effects may be exacerbated by changes in the surrounding land use.  Overall, damming river flow will lead to both a loss of native species, but also an increase in exotic species which are more likely to become established in degraded habitats. For this reason, dams are one of the greatest global threats to freshwater biodiversity.</span>
