The biosphere (from Greek βίος bíos "life" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere") also known as the ecosphere (from Greek οἶκος oîkos"environment" and σφαῖρα), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth, a closed system (apart from solar and cosmic radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth), and largely self-regulating.[1] By the most general biophysiological definition, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved, beginning with a process of biopoiesis (life created naturally from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds) or biogenesis (life created from living matter), at least some 3.5 billion years ago.[2][3]
In a general sense, biospheres are any closed, self-regulating systems containing ecosystems. This includes artificial biospheres such as Biosphere 2 and BIOS-3, and potentially ones on other planets or moons.
biosphere life exsists and extends from the depths of the oceans to the summit of the mountains
Answer:
159.808 g/mol
Explanation:
Br itself is 79.904 g/mol. So multiply it by two.
Answer:
We know that the color of jellyfish is controlled by codominance inheritance pattern and yellow Y and blue B are two alleles and in case of heterozygous the goober or green color occurs then,
If Yellow jellyfish is crossed with goober, that is, YY X YB.
the punnett square will be -
Y Y
Y YY YY
B YB YB
The possible genotype of offspring will be YY, and YB and therefore, the possible phenotype of offspring will be Yellow, and Green. The Percentage of yellow offspring will be 50% as two out of four are dominant for Y allele and two heterozygous conditions that is 50 % and as there are two copies B alleles are not present so zero percent of blue color.
Answer:
A. engulfing of small photosynthetic prokaryotes by larger cell
Explanation:
The endosymbiotic theory states that some of the organelles in today's eukaryotic cells were once prokaryotic microbes. In this theory, the first eukaryotic cell was probably an amoeba-like cell that got nutrients by phagocytosis and contained a nucleus that formed when a piece of the cytoplasmic membrane pinched off around the chromosomes. Some of these amoeba-like organisms ingested prokaryotic cells that then survived within the organism and developed a symbiotic relationship.
Some Evidence for this is based on the following:
1. Chloroplasts are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and, like bacteria, have Fts proteins at their division plane.
2. The mitochondria are the same size as prokaryotic cells, divide by binary fission, and the mitochondria of some protists have Fts homologs at their division plane.
3. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA that is circular, not linear.
4. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own ribosomes that have 30S and 50S subunits, not 40S and 60S.
5. Several more primitive eukaryotic microbes, such as Giardia and Trichomonas have a nuclear membrane but no mitochondria.
Answer:
Cellulose gives strength to cell.
Explanation:
Cellulose is a type of polysaccharide which is present in the cell wall of plant. It provides strength to the cell. It also helps in the absorption of water molecules from the surrounding environment.
Cellulose is composed of 44.44% of carbon atom, 6.17% hydrogen atom, and 49.39% oxygen atom. The chemical formula of cellulose is (C6H10O5)n.
