The Lithosphere contains all of the cold, hard, solid rock of the planet's crust, the hot semi-solid rock below the crust, the hot liquid rock near the center of the planet, and the solid iron core. The biosphere is the sphere that contains all of the Earth's living organisms. The organisms and crust interact through events between spheres, such as natural events like floods, shifts in the Earth's crust. Some event as such could create soil erosion resulting in decreased vegetation and increase death of organisms.

Answer:

Please see below.

Explanation:

The crust of our planet provides a physical surface on which organisms can live; it is as varied as ocean basins, mountains, valleys, sand covered deserts or the frozen poles. Organisms derive the nutrients they need from that environment, either directly or by means of other organisms, for example when plants absorb minerals from the soil which are later passed on to herbivores, carnivores and detritivores. Water is also absorbed by organisms from their surroundings. But this relationship works the other way around as well. Organisms excrete organic carbon and minerals which are returned to the lithosphere or hydrosphere and thus a cycling of minerals and water is formed which assures that essential nutrients won't run out and this way we can see that both components, the living organisms (the biosphere) and the crust (the lithosphere) are inestricably interrelated.

Metabolites are small molecules that:

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

C) generally consist of 1,000 different substances

Explanation:

Metabolites are compounds, usually organic, that participate in the chemical reactions that take place at the cellular level. The set of these biochemical reactions, together with the intracellular physical-chemical processes, constitutes the cellular metabolism, the molecular basis of life. The metabolism includes the degradation of molecules for obtaining energy (catabolism) and the synthesis of molecules necessary for growth, reproduction and repair (anabolism).

The succession of metabolic reactions that transform a given initial substance into another is known as a metabolic pathway. The starting substance is known as a substrate or raw material. The final substance is usually known as the final product or metabolite (a metabolic pathway can generate several final products) and the intermediate substances as intermediate metabolites. An intermediate or final metabolite in one metabolic pathway may be the substrate in another, which makes the vast majority of metabolic pathways interconnected.

Metabolites can be classified into two large groups, primary and secondary. Primary metabolites are defined as those that are directly involved in the normal growth, development and reproduction of an organism with an important physiological function. On the contrary, secondary metabolites are not directly involved in these processes. The absence of a primary metabolite usually leads to immediate or short-term death while the absence of a secondary metabolite does not.

According to the different types and diverse functions that fulfill there are an immense amount of metabolites

The Monterey pine and the Bishop's pine inhabit some of the same areas of central California. The Monterey pine releases pollen

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The Monterey pine and the Bishop's pine inhabit some of the same areas of central California. The Monterey pine releases pollen in February, while the Bishop's pine does so in April. This is an example of temporal isolation.

Explanation:

Temporal isolation is a form of reproductive isolation in which two or more species reproduce at two separate times.

For example: Northern america leapord frog mates in April and North America Bullfrog mates in july.

As in the given scenario, reproductive isolation is occuring in which two species (Monterey pine and Bishop's pine) are reproducing (producing pollens) at two separate times(February and April). Hence it is an example of temporal isolation.

Which of these describes passive immunity? A.It occurs on the binding sites of antibodies. B.It is immunity that occurs after yo

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

Becuase fom a vaccine you are recieving antibodies by another animal or human donor.

D is unlinkely since it describes how the mother is nursing the baby, so nothing directly mentioning of the baby recieving any antibodies. The other options also talk about how the body creates its own antibodies, which isn't passive immunity.
