As the individual body size of an organism increases, the population density for this organism in a given habitat tends to decrease.

<span>It has been shown that an inverse relationship between the size of an animal and its local abundance exist. Animals with larger body size have higher energetic requirements, resource exploitation, and susceptibility to predation and thus the competition is bigger. Yet, the density–body size relation depends on the physical complexity of the habitat and population of a species.</span>

1. John observed bacteria at 100X under the oil immersion and then decided to go back to 40X

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The observed image will not be sharp

Explanation:

When 100x microscope objective lens is being used, light refraction in the air is enough high to produce image alterations. Image distortions can be minimized by immersion oil because this liquid has a higher refractive index than air. However, light refraction is not usually noticeable when using 4x, 10x and 40x objective lenses. Moreover, this image will not be sharp after putting oil on the slide and going back to the 40x objective, it is for that reason that the 40x is called 'high dry' lens. In consequence, it is required to clean the immersion oil off the 40x objective. In general, it is required to to remove the oil and refocus off the slide and lens immediately after oil immersion (it can be done by using an oil-soluble solvent).

From what you should now know about bacterial taxis and nodule formation, predict how a rhizobium would respond to a flavonoid.

andreev551 [17]

Answer;

-The bacterium would exhibit positive chemotaxis.

Explanation;

-Chemotaxis is the movement of cells or organisms in response to chemicals, whereby the cells are attracted (positive chemotaxis) or repelled (negative chemotaxis) by substances exhibiting chemical properties.

Flavonoids play a crucial role as signal molecules in promoting the formation of nodules by symbiotic bacteria commonly known as rhizobia. The roots of leguminous plants use positive chemotaxis to attract rhizobia. Flavonoids are the chemicals associated with attraction of Rhizobium bacteria.

The mixture of sperm and fluids from the seminal vesicles is called

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Semen

Explanation:

Sperm is the male reproductive gamete produced by the testes. During copulation or sexual intercourse, the produced sperm moves along a tube called VAS DEFERENS or sperm duct. The sperm mixes up with fluid called SEMINAL FLUID produced in the accessory glands comprising of seminal vesicles, prostrate gland and the bulbourethral glands to form the SEMEN, which is ejected from the urethra (a tube that runs from the bladder to the penis) during ejaculation.

The seminal fluid that mixes up with the sperm serves to lubricate it for easy locomotion within the female reproductive parts and also provide nourishment for the sperm.
