You have conducted an experiment using litterbags to assess the effect of lignin content on leaf decomposition rate. You selecte

d 6 tree species with a range of leaf lignin levels. Which of the following is a plausible prediction for your study?
A. The biomass of leaf litter bags will increase more in plants with higher leaf lignin content.
B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.
C. The leaf litter bags cannot be used to conduct this experiment.
D. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be lower in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Answer:

B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Explanation:

Lignin is a major, one of the most slowly decomposing components of dead vegetation, including leaf litters. The lignin content has been found to have a high correlation with litter decomposition.

<em>Hence, at the end of the experiment, the litter bag containing leaf litters with higher lignin contents will be expected to weigh more than those with lower lignin contents.</em>

The correct option is B.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Organ transplantation requires that the donor organism and recipient be genetically close so that the graft or transplant will not be attacked by the immune system of the recipient leading to rejection and damage. Squeaky is likely to be made up of a different genetic configuration compared to laboratory inbred FG426 mouse

b) ips (induced pluripotent stem cell) on the other hand can benefit squeaky since the cells are somatic cells such as B cells, Keratinocytes, neuronal progenitors cells, kidney and muscles gotten from the donor that are reprogrammed by reactivating silent genes through fusing of another different cell such as ES (embryonic stem cell) and introduction of some transcriptional factors such oct4, sox2,kf4, and k-myc leading to transcriptional activity and DNA methylation.  This induced pluripotent stem cells can be grown into organ that can be transplanted to the recipient who was initially the donor of the reprogrammed somatic cells. Because it is from the host, the transplanted organ is not likely to trigger immune response compare to those grown from ES from other bred.

Integrated science<br>plant reproduction​
Pie

Flowering plants reproduce sexually through a process called pollination. The flowers contain male sex organs called stamens and female sex organs called pistils. Cross-pollination happens when the wind or animals move pollen from one plant to fertilize the ovules on a different plant.

What is an Obligate anaerobe? How do obligate anaerobes, like the bacteria C. Botulinum, get energy ?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Obligate anaerobes are microbes that can only survive in oxygen-deficient environments. They are killed by the normal atmospheric level of oxygen and will only thrive in environments whose oxygen levels are lower than that of normal atmospheric level. </em>

Obligate bacteria such as <em>Clostridium botulinum </em>obtain their energy through <u>anaerobic respiration processes such as fermentation and anaerobic respiration.</u> During this process of fermentation, the lactic acid pathway is mostly used but other fermentation pathways such as propionic acid, mixed acid, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis pathways can be used.
