Answer:

Carbohydrates are used by the body for energy and structural support in cell walls of plants and exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans. They are made of smaller subunits called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides have carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio.

Difinition of disaccharides: any of a class of sugars whose molecules contain two monosaccharide residues.

Make an example...

Short carbohydrate chains are called oligosaccharides and contain 3 to 10 sugar molecules. Long carbohydrate chains can contain hundreds or even thousands of monosaccharide units. molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose joined together.

Both primary and secondary succession begin with pioneer species that

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

The different zones or region on the planet may some times suffer great distress in creating the best ecologically suitable environment for all the living being, as there are various factors that come in to play such as the soil moisture, presence of humidity and moisture inside the air, and many other factors.Both primary and secondary succession begin with pioneer species that enriches the soil and make it able for the living beings to develop itself in it and provide a suitable environment for life to flourish more frequently.

Explanation:

But, the two steps of successions involves the primary and secondary stage in a given form or procedure. As, the primary succession occurs inside the region which is left abundant due to some reason and there is less for the living being to gain from, so the land then faces the primary succession and many micro organism play a vital role in making the whole situation much better for the living beings.And the lithosphere is highly influenced by the actions of different associations that are formed for the growth of the land mass as a whole.
Now, the secondary succession involves the covering of that specified piece of land by the presence of the specific number of species which would provide more diversity to the land mass and create a better ecological system for the living beings to live inside it.

How would a decaying tree be classified?

mr_godi [17]

Decaying tree would be considered a biotic as it is now dead, however it will form an ecosystem of bacteria, fungi and other saprotrophs.

Imagine a genomic researcher who is analyzing the genome of different types of cats. She finds that a particular sequence in the

egoroff_w [7]

Answers:

The sequence encodes a gene that is critical for life and cannot be easily mutated while retaining function.
The sequence is contained in a retrovirus that has infected both species.

1- Explanation:

6.8 million years is a considerable period of time and if the cats were evolved in two different specie then technically they should have substantially different sequences of gene. However, there are some genes that are critical for the survival of the organisms because they encode a function which is equally important for the organisms of a certain category, even if they are different specie.

For example, the essential genes that are involved in maintenance of metabolism, initiation of replication or translation of genes. Therefore, with the period of time, the mutation of even a single nucleotide can be lethal for these genes, and if it happens organism will simply die. So, if one organisms is died that cannot take part in the process of evolution and would clearly be cut off from the process, However, those who survive can undergo some other mutations and become separate specie.

2- Explanation:

A retro virus inserts itself in to the genome of host organisms and become a part of them. It is very difficult to detect the presence of the retro virus until the organism undergoes infection due to its attack. Cats are a favorable host for retroviruses - called lentiviruses which attack the cats to cause a critical syndrome Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or FIV. Therefore, it is possible that same retrovirus having a particular sequence has attacked both cats and the sequences were taken from those cats.

Hope it help!
