Biology
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The autotrophs are the ones that perform the phosphorus cycle.

Explanation:

A is correct because the autotrophs are the organisms that are able to consume the inorganic phosphates, use them, and release parts of them in the other spheres, thus contributing to the phosphorus cycle.

B is not correct because the heterotrophs are not organisms that can process inorganic matter and produce their own food, instead, they are dependent on the autotrophs to do that.

C is not correct because the carnivores are not able to consume and process inorganic phosphates, with their food sources being based around the primary and secondary consumers.

D is not correct because the herbivores use the producers (autotrophs) as their food source, and they are not able to process inorganic phosphates on their own.

Why does natural selection act on phenotype rather than genotype of an organism?
Nimfa-mama [501]
By definition, the phenotype is the actual physical manifestation of an organism's genotype, so the way an organism looks or behaves is what is being selected on. For example, if ladybugs have red (R) shells or yellow (r) shells and ladybug-eating birds only eat the ones with red shells, any red-shelled ladybugs will be selected against based only on their phenotype. The birds do not know whether each bug is RR, Rr, of rr, so phenotype, not genotype, is what is affected by natural selection.

What would you do to preserve the resources?​
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Explanation: Choosing food from farmers that aim to conserve the natural resources and have as little impact on the land as possible. But even buying as much as you can from local farmers makes a different. Eating more whole grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts, and less red meats and processed foods does too. Grow your own fruits and vegetables.
