Some salts form acidic or basic solutions in water, which is a result of a process called _____.

1 answer:

4 0

The answer would be salt hydrolysis.

Salt that was made from the combination of weak and strong acid/base could be hydrolyzed and forming another substance. The hydrolysis process will separate the H2O into H+ and OH- and the weak part of the salt will take one of the ions(weak base will take OH-, weak acid will take H+). The result would be increased H+( or OH- ion, leading to change in pH of the solution.

Why are chloroplasts more on one side of a cell than the other

vaieri [72.5K]

You would be referring to the plant cell.

Answer:

Chloroplasts may be seen on all six sides of a plant cell, which is a three-dimensional entity with typically moderately rounded corners (not in the centre because a big central vacuole fills a very large part of the volume). Chloroplasts are constantly being rearranged by the cell since they are not set in place. Chloroplasts are typically located close to so-called periclinal cell walls, which are oriented in the same 2D orientation as the leaf surface under low light. Chloroplasts seem to "escape" to the anticlinal walls in bright light. Better light harvesting in low light by exposing every chloroplast to light and photoprotection by mutual shading in strong light are likely the fitness benefits provided by this behavior. In the dark, chloroplasts also gravitate toward the anticlinal walls. Thin leaves of submerged aquatic plants like Elodea can be used as microscope specimens to observe chloroplast motions. One can gauge how much light gets through a leaf in land plants. What I just said concerning the top layer(s) of leaves' "palisade parenchyma cells" is accurate. Most of the chloroplasts are found in these cells. Numerous cells in the spongy parenchyma under the palisade layer lack well marked peri and anticlinal walls.

<h2>How did plant cells incorporate chloroplasts in their DNA?</h2>

Chloroplasts must reproduce in a manner akin to that of some bacterial species, in which the chloroplast DNA is duplicated first, followed by binary fission of the organelle (a kind of protein band that constricts so that two daughter organelles bud off). As a result of some chloroplast DNA actually being integrated into the plant genome (a process known as endosymbiotic gene transfer), it is now controlled in the nucleus of the plant cell itself.

To my esteemed Biology colleagues: 10/15/19 I am National Park Ranger, Imani. I am writing you as my park is in desperate need o

Zanzabum

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

1. Explain the difference in the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in the Everglades.

In the Everglades, producers would be all species of organisms that are autotrophs such as different species of plants. Consumers are categorized into three: primary, secondary and terciary consumers. Primary consumers feed on plants (e.g. insects), secondary consumers eat the primary consumers (e.g. mice or rats), while tertiary consumers are higher predators that eat the secondary consumers (e.g. racoons). Finally, decomposers are bacteria, archaeans, fungi, or worms that live in soil which decompose organic matter.

2. Based on your knowledge of how to classify living organisms, in what domain and kingdom do the producers, consumers, and decomposers belong?

In Biology, the three domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya; while there are six kingdoms: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria (true bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

Producers, that is plants, belong to the Domain Eukarya and the Kingdom Plantae.
Primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers also belong to the Domain Eukarya and to the Kingdom Animalia as they are all animals and eukaryotes.
Decomposers are classified into the three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Bacteria belong to the domain Bacteria, archaeans belong to the domain Archaea, and worms and fungi belong to the domain Eukarya. On the other hand, decomposers are classified into Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista (oomycetes), Fungi, and Animalia (worms).

3. How did energy travel in the Everglades BEFORE the alligators were removed?

Aquatic plants (producers) <-- bass <-- bluegill <-- gar <-- alligator

Aquatic plants (producers) <-- zooplankton <-- bass/bluegill <-- wood stork <-- alligator

Plants (producers) <-- cattle <-- alligator

Plants (producers) <-- insects <-- rats <-- racoons <-- alligator

4. How did removing the alligators from the food web change how energy flowed in the Everglades?

Once the alligators were removed from the food web, the populations that were once in decline began to recover because of the lack of predators. Consequently, the lack of alligators led to the uncontrollable growth of racoons, wood stork, and gar, which could also cause an alteration as they consume ecologically and economically important fish species such as the bass and bluegill.

5. How did the problem begin, and what action(s) should Ranger Imani take to solve this issue?

The problem began when the populations of alligator, an apex predator that sits at the top of the food chain, grew at an accelerated pace. This led to the uncontrolled predation of other organisms that are also fundamental to maintain an ecological balance. Therefore, Ranger Imani decided to humanely euthanize the alligators, which were preying upon them. This led to a huge increase in wood stork, gar, and racoon populations.

Alligators should not be completely removed because they help to maintain an ecological balance. Instead, Ranger Imani should work on controlling populations by implementing Wildlife Population Management strategies, such as sustainable fishing, to prevent a certain species population from reaching a high number of individuals in order to keep a healthy ecosystem where all populations are stable because removing all apex predators is not the appropriate strategy as it significantly alters the ecosystem.

How is homeostasis important to the survival of organisms?

anzhelika [568]

No the right answer is A. Homeostasis allows organisms to regulate their temperature because it makes sure the organisms cells do not burst or shrink. This allows the organism to survive.
