Photosynthetic organisms use the process of photosynthesis to produce their energy. During this process they also take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. If there were less of such organisms, there would be more carbon dioxide  and less oxygen in the atmosphere.

If the number of photosynthetic organisms on the earth decreased, then the results are that there would be less oxygen and more carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere.

Photoautotrophs are also called Photosynthetic organisms; they get energy directly from the sunlight and use the energy captured to produce organic compounds in a process known as photosynthesis.

During the process of photosynthesis, the photosynthetic organisms used the inorganic compound of water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce water, glucose, and oxygen.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Some organisms can capture energy from the sun and in turn, used it to produce organic compounds in a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is very important to life as it gives energy to both the consumers and producers.

Examples of photosynthetic organisms include:

  • Bacteria (such as Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacteria)
  • Euglena                                
  • Plants
  • Algae (such as green algae, diatoms, etc)

In photosynthesis, light energy is converted to chemical energy and the energy is stored as glucose. The Inorganic compounds are utilized by photosynthetic organisms to produce water, glucose, and oxygen.

Photosynthetic organisms also use carbon to produce organic molecules and the oxygen, which is produced as a bi-product is used for cellular respiration by both plants and animals.

Many of the organisms, directly or indirectly depend on photosynthesis for nourishment

Pie

Viruses are referred to Agents since they don’t easily fit into categories of living things.

Viruses are composed of DNA and RNA and they can be referred to as

agents as they cause different diseases which is usually very difficult to

manage and treat.

Viruses don't perform the characteristics of living organisms, they lack cells

and isn't under Bacteria as they replicate only when in the body while

bacteria replicates anywhere.

3. The cell below is currently in Metaphase I. Draw the four resulting cells after the original cellgoes through Meiosis. Write
snow_tiger [21]

<em>You will find the cell in metaphase and the draw of the gametes in the attached files</em>

Answer:

Gametes: RY, RX, rY, rX

Explanation:

During metaphase I, homologous pairs migrate to the equatorial plane, where they randomly aline with their kinetochores facing opposite poles. The random arrangement of tetrads is different in every cell going through the meiosis process. There is no equal alinement between two cells. When tetrads aline in the equatorial plane, there is no predetermined order for each of the homologous chromosomes of each tetrad to face one of the poles and then migrate to it while separating. Any chromosome of the homologous pair might face any of the poles and then migrate to it. Each of the chromosomes has two possibilities for orientation at the plane.

During metaphase II, when the new haploid cells are formed, the number of variations in each cell is also different and depends on the chromosomes that form that cell. This random order in the equatorial plane is what introduces variation into the gametes. It is almost impossible that two gametes resulting from meiosis will get the same genetic charge.

Diploid cell)  RrXY

Gametes)   RY, rY, RX, rX

The alleles of each of the genes randomly migrate to different poles and combine with the allele of the other gene that migrated to the same pole.

Organisms displaying different phenotypes at different environments are an example of
ivanzaharov [21]

<span>The answer is phenotypic plasticity. An organism will change its behavior, morphology, or physiology in response to changes in the environment. This is a more or less ‘immediate’ non-permanent state adopted without any changes in the genetic makeup of the organism.   An example is tropism response to environmental stimuli in plants. </span>
