Please tell me what abiotic and biotic factors are! I'm trying to study :)

Biology

Stolb23 [73]3 years ago

Answer:

In ecology and biology, abiotic components are non-living chemical and physical factors in the environment which affect ecosystems. Biotic describes a living component of an ecosystem; for example organisms, such as plants and animals. Water, light, wind, soil, humidity, minerals, gases.

Determine whether each statement describes mitosis, meiosis, or both mitosis and meiosis.
svp [43]

Occurs in  organisms that  sexually reproduce ==> Occurs in meosis.

Meiosis is a type of gamete-specific nuclear division.

Meiosis occurs during spermatogenesis and oogenesis (egg formation in women).

In order for the number of chromosomes, characteristic of the species, to be conserved, it is necessary that before the encounter, the number of chromosomes of each of the reproductive cells be divided by two.

The reduction in the number of chromosomes takes place during the phenomenon called "meiosis".


Occurs during  growth and  development ==> It concerns mitosis.

Mitosis will ensure the good fulfillment of several phenomena:

. embryonic development,

. the general growth of organisms from birth to adult size,

. continued growth of certain organisms and / or organs; for example, trees, hair, teeth in ruminants, nails, ...


The DNA is  replicated ==> concern both mitosis and meiosis.

The cell cycle of eukaryotic cells is as follows:

• Interphase (normal functions, DNA replication)

G1 - growth / cellular activity

S - DNA synthesis / replication

G2 - preparation for division

• Phase M (cell division): which consists of either mitosis or meiosis, depending on cell types.

• Cytocinesis (cytoplasmic division).

So whether it is mitosis or meiosis, both are preceded by a replication of the genetic material (DNA)


Occurs in  all organisms ==> concern both mitosis and meiosis.

An organism is a set of elements that make up a functional structure.

In biology, the term organism designates a living being as it is organized, that is to say composed of different organs or organelles forming a coherent whole (as opposed to micro-organisms).

All multicellular organisms have sexual reproduction, so their cells are systematically mitosis and meiosis.

We exclude microorganisms of which a very small part of them have asexual reproduction.


The number of  chromosomes  remains the same : concerns only mitosis.

During mitosis, the human cell has 2n monochromatid chromosomes. In phase S consists of a doubling of the amount of DNA indeed, and the cells then have 2n chromosomes bichromatidiens. In the metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes of the mother cell are arranged on a "metaphase plate", then split in 2-chromosomes, but monochromatids, during anaphase. Each daughter cell therefore has 2n monochromatid chromosomes.



The number of  chromosomes  reduces by half ==> Concerns only meiosis

Meiosis unfolds in two stages:

* The first meiotic division is called reductional because it allows to pass from 2n double chromosomes to n double chromosomes.

* The second is called equational because it preserves the number of chromosomes: one passes from n double chromosomes to n simple chromosomes.

Meiosis thus allows the formation of 4 haploid daughter cells (or gametes).

In humans, a normal cell contains 2n = 46 chromosomes (thus 23 pairs) while a gamete contains n = 23 chromosomes in two divisions).

A parasite is a type of (1 point) carnivore. filter feeder. symbiont. detritivore.
skad [1K]
A parasite is a type of a symbiont. 
Parasitism describes a relationship between two organisms where one benefits, and the other is harmed. The parasite is the organism that benefits from the relationship, while the host is harmed by the relationship. Parasites can be a number of things including plants, animals and even viruses and bacteria.

(a) List the chemical characteristics of molecules that are most likely to move by simple diffusion across the lipid bilayer of
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:a) low melting point

Poor conductivity

: Low solubility

Low solubility The mass is equal to the sum of the masses of all the individual atoms in the molecular structure.

b) The cross-sectional area of the fluid.

Therefore The diffusion coefficient is a physical constant dependent on molecule size and other properties of the diffusing substance as well as on temperature and pressure.

Which of the following options lists the stages in cellular respiration in the correct order? glycolysis, the citric acid cycle,
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct answer is  glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration contains three major processes that are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.  

In glycolysis, partial oxidation of one mole of glucose gives two moles of pyruvate and 2 NADH and 2 ATP. Then this pyruvate is converted into acetyl-CoA in the mitochondrial matrix(in eukaryotes) and acts as a fuel for the Krebs cycle.

In the Krebs cycle, acetyl CoA gives rise to 4 CO₂, 2 ATP, 6 NADH, and 2 FADH₂. So from glycolysis and Krebs cycle, only 4 ATP is produced and most of the energy remains in the form of NADH and FADH₂.

So in oxidative phosphorylation electrons are released from these molecules into machinery of oxidative phosphorylation to synthesize ATP.
