Mendel's was sucessful geneticist becasue of the following reasons
1) he worked on pisum sativum which is bisexual
2) short duration of life cylce
3) its an annual plant
4) he was also having gud knowleged of statics
Photosynthesis is a natural process by which trees and plants use energy from the sun and carbon dioxide from the air to make the food they need to live and grow. At the same time, the leaves or needles absorb carbon dioxide from the air. These raw materials flow to plant cells containing chlorophyll.
Lets understand the given passage.
An ecologist <u>observes that the diet of a bird species consists primarily of large grass seeds</u> (as opposed to smaller grass seeds or the seeds of other herbaceous plants found in the area).
<u>He hypothesizes that the birds are choosing the larger seeds because they have a higher concentrations of nitrogen than do other types of seeds at the site</u><u>.</u>
<u>To test the hypothesis, the ecologist compares the large grass seeds with the other types of seeds, and the results clearly show that the large grass seeds do indeed have a much higher concentration of nitrogen.</u>
No, he cannot conclude that the birds select the larger grass seeds because of their higher concentrations of nitrogen. The hypothesis testing done by the ecologist is incomplete as he failed to set up a control in the experiment. The control would have been the birds feeding on large seeds that lack or are low on nitrogen content. This will establish a relation between the bird's diet and the size of the seeds and the nitrogen content of the seeds. It could be true that birds do not care about the nitrogen content but simply prefer larger seed sizes.
Another problem associated with his field experiment is the failure in noting the beak sizes of the birds. The beak size and shape enable a bird to break and eat seeds. Larger beaks fail at breaking open smaller seeds. This observation would add bird beak size as another variable of the experiment.
<h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
Which of the following are reactants of cellular respiration?
glucose, water, carbon dioxide
water and glucose
carbon dioxide and glucose
oxygen and glucose
<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>
glucose, water, carbon dioxide
<h3><u>Explanation:</u><u>-</u></h3>
Cellular or aerobic respiration is a series of chemical reactions that begin with a sugar reactant in the presence of oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water as waste.
