stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Mushrooms and plants all need energy to grow. But the sources of their energy differs.

Explanation:

Sun is the ultimate source of energy for any living organisms to grow and make their food. While plants takes energy from the sun directly and make their food, while the mushrooms which is not a plant does not take energy from the sun directly.

Mushrooms utilizes the energies which is collected by the different organism which collects their energy from the sun such as organisms like the bacteria and plants. Mushrooms grow well in darkness as darkness helps to retain moisture. Mushrooms does not have chlorophyll to make food.

Plants have chlorophyll. And they direct absorb energy from the sun light to make their own food.

List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.

What might happen to the Earth if human increase the amount of greenhouse gasses?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Global warming will occur

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are special gaseous compounds that have this ability to trap HEAT due to their structural composition. They include; carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), methane (CH4) etc.

Anthropogenic activities such as burning of fossil fuels etc. release these gases into the atmosphere where they cause harm to the Earth. Greenhouse gases contribute immensely to the GLOBAL WARMING EFFECT, which is the increase in the temperature of the Earth surface. Therefore, if humans increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere via their actions, there will be a GLOBAL WARMING occurrence.

What is the primary advantage of noneugenol periodontal surgical dressing over periodontal surgical dressing that does contain e
daser333 [38]

Some people may develop redness and burning discomfort in the vicinity of the bandage if they are allergic to eugenol.

  • In order to lower the danger of surgery site infection and bleeding, speed up wound healing, and lessen patients' pain and discomfort, periodontal dressings were devised.
  • The ability of eugenol-based dressings to numb pain and make sites less sensitive made them popular in the past, especially after gingivectomy.
  • Based on its antibacterial qualities, zinc oxide-eugenol dressings appeared to prevent or delay bacterial development. However, it was discovered that eugenol irritated oral mucosal tissues, caused allergic reactions, and caused tissue necrosis, especially in bone, which slowed the healing process.
  • Thus, noneugenol periodontal surgical dressing are preferred.
