DNA replication occurs in the sythesis stage of the cell cycle.
The rate of cell growth is increasing,its takes about 20 hours to grow 10 ells ,but it only takes 2-3 hr to grow the last 20 cellsExtend your thinking: In living organisms, the cell cycle is closely regulated.
The main variables which affect photosynthesis are light, water, CO2 concentration and temperature.
On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (eg Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis, though these are rarely covered in discussion of this topic.
The thing is that photosynthesis will be held back by whichever factor is in shortest supply.
As I sit in my study in England, the sun is shining brightly, but the temperature outside is only 5ºC. I suspect the rate of photosynthesis is limited by temperature today.
Yesterday was a dull day, but in the middle of the day it was not cold and I suspect there wasn't enough light for photosynthesis. If I had turned the security lights on my house on, the plants in my garden might (possibly) have photosynthesised faster.
In summer, some farmers growing crops in glasshouses actually increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air as all their plants have plenty of water and light and the temperature is near the best possible for photosynthesis.
A good way to investigate this might be with the help of algae and you can use the 'Immobilised Algae' practical for this.
Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, don't bother trying to investigate water as a variable - plants normally wilt and wither long before water restricts photosynthesis at the biochemical level. They need water to support the plant to face the sun as well as a raw material of photosynthesis.
The simplest equation for photosynthesis:-
Carbon dioxide + water -----(in light, with chlorophyll and enzymes)----> sugar + oxygen
Temperature speeds up all chemical reactions - photosynthesis is no exception.
Enzymes work better in warm conditions (up to about 50ºC when enzymes start to be destroyed by heat).
The idea to get across is that different conditions will be most important on different occasions. This morning, my garden could do with more warmth - yesterday, it could do with more light / sun!
Answer:
primary succesion easy question lilbra there you gooooooo
Explanation:
ANSWER:
The effects of increasing or decreasing the nutrient levels in an aquatic food webs is described in the explanation.
Explanation:
If the nutrient levels in an aquatic food web increase moderately then it will result in increased production of the primary producers and the consumers.
But if the nutrient levels are increased excessively, like in eutrophication, then the increased level of nutrients will result in overproduction of the consumers like fishes, etc. Hence, there will be a scarcity of resources like oxygen in the water to support them and this will lead to a decline in biodiversity of the aquatic food web.
If the nutrient levels are decreased, then there will be competition for resources among the species which will ultimately lead to the decline of some species from the aquatic food web.
