Chemoreceptor is a specialized sensory receptor cell, which responds to a chemical substance and generates a biological signal.
The type of chemoreceptor responsible for our sense of smell is called olfactory receptor. It is also known as odorant receptor, these are found in a small patch of tissue high inside the nose. These cells directly connected to the brain.

Water availability impacts plant growth and animals who depend on plants for food are interactions between the
andriy [413]

Answer:

hydrosphere and biosphere

Explanation:

The spheres of the Earth are lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere etc. Hydrosphere refers to the collection of all the water bodies on the surface of the Earth e.g oceans, lakes, rivers etc. On the other hand, biosphere refers to the collection of life on Earth e.g plants, animals, microbes etc.

In this question, Water availability is said to impact plant growth and the animals who depend on plants for food. These water availability and the living organisms (plants and animals) it impacts are interactions between the HYDROSPHERE AND BIOSPHERE.

To efficiently provide the ideal amount of nitrogen fertilizer, some farmers make use of a "chlorophyll meter" that measures the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplast in plants. It absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. It is a chelate molecule. In a chelate molecule a central metal ion forms bonds with a large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen or oxygen.

In chlorophyll, magnesium is the central metal ion and it is bonded to a large organic molecule called as porphyrin. Porphyrin constitutes four nitrogen atoms to which the central magnesium is bonded in square planar arrangement. Since chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of the leaves, more the green color more the chlorophyll content and more is the nitrogen content. Hence, chlorophyll meter measures this green light and finds out if the plant needs more or less nitrogen.

Does geographic distance between salamander populations increase their reproductive isolation? To answer this question, research
Nataly_w [17]

Question: Does geographic distance between salamander populations increase their reproductive isolation?  To answer this question, researchers studied populations of the dusky salamander (Desmognathus ochrophaeus) living on different mountain ranges in the southern Appalachian Mountains.  The researchers tested the reproductive isolation of pairs of salamander populations by leaving one male and one female together and later checking the females for the presence of sperm. Four mating combinations were tested for each pair of populations (A and B)—two within the same population (female A with male A and female B with male B) and two between populations (female A with male B and female B with male A).  The proportion of successful matings for each mating combination was measured. For example, when all the matings of a particular combination were successful, the researchers gave it a value of 1; when none of the matings were successful, they gave it a value of 0. Then the researchers calculated an index of reproductive isolation that ranged from 0 (no isolation) to 2 (full isolation). The reproductive isolation value for two populations is the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type within populations (AA + BB) minus the sum of the proportion of successful matings of each type between populations (AB + BA).

The table (Figure 1) provides data for the geographic distances and reproductive isolation values for 27 pairs of dusky salamander populations.

Part A - Understanding experimental design

What hypothesis did the researchers test in this study?

Answer:

"Reproductive isolation increases with geographic distance between dusky salamander populations"

Explanation:

The mechanisms of reproductive isolation are a assemblage of evolutionary mechanisms, behaviors and physiological procedures dangerous for speciation. They avert followers of dissimilar types from manufacturing offspring, or confirm that any offspring are germ-free. While in allopatric speciation the reproductive isolation is resolute superficially by the spatial isolation of populations, during sympatric speciation specific groups of persons create distinct mating organizations with self-like persons while distribution the similar home with the rest of the unique inhabitants.
