Answer:

To continue teaching, the nurse can ask the following question:

What are all the parts of the body in which insulin can be injected?

She can then take the student into account that insulin can be applied to parts such as: buttocks, thighs, arms and abdomen.

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 <u>species of organisms that are autotrophs such as different species of plants</u>. Consumers are categorized into three: primary, secondary and terciary consumers. <em><u>Primary consumers</u></em><u> feed on plants (e.g. insects), </u><em><u>secondary consumers</u></em><u> eat the primary consumers (e.g. mice or rats), while </u><em><u>tertiary consumers</u></em><u> are higher predators that eat the secondary consumers (e.g. racoons)</u>. 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.

What structure is most important in forming the tetrads?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- synaptonemal complex.

Explanation:

The tetrad arrangement of the genetic material in an organism is mediated by a highly conserved structure known as the synaptonemal complex.  The synaptonemal complex is formed during the prophase I of the meiosis I which attaches the chromatin of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure which is formed by the two lateral ladders like elements with a central portion composed of the central element. The chromatin gets attached to the lateral elements while the central a portion bridge space between the two ladders thus help in the formation of the tetrad.

Thus, option- synaptonemal complex is the correct answer.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

I) Sexual reproduction

II) Mutation

Explanation:

Variations refer to the difference observed within organisms of the same species. Variation are introduced into a population by:

- new genetic combinations that occur during sexual reproduction (i.e during meiosis)

- mutations, spontaneous changes that occur in genes and chromosomes.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

the order would be:

Carnivorous animal -> scavenger animal ---> autonomous living organism ---> decomposing organisms.

Explanation:

The lion would be the carnivore, the bird that eats the waste of dead meat would be the scavenger, the vegetable the autonomous, since it does not require an external energy source to live but synthesizes its own energy and finally the decomposers fulfill the function to decompose chemical compounds to give energy to the earth, which would be useful for the growth of other living organisms. This is how the chain meets the cycle of life.
