Similar to those performed by the cell organelles in group b
G1 is followed by S phase (synthesis), during which DNA replication takes place. The completion of DNA synthesis is followed by the G2 phase (gap 2), during which cell growth continues and proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis.
Answer:
C) The benthic invertebrates would decrease in population size because they are eaten by the sea ducks and the phytoplankton would increase in population size.
Explanation:
The benthic invertebrates are eaten by sea ducks. Sea ducks are eaten by bald eagles. If the bald eagle was removed, there would be more sea ducks because they will have no more predators. Since there are more sea ducks, they will need to eat more food, like benthic invertebrates. The benthic invertebrates would have a lower population because the sea ducks eat more of them.
Why not the other answers:
A) The bivalves would not increase in population size. Without the bald eagle preying on sea ducks, there would be more sea ducks, who need to eat more food, such as eating more bivalves.
The phytoplankton would not decrease. With sea ducks eating more food, more benthic invertebrates are eaten. There would be less benthic invertebrates to eat phytoplankton.
B) Tundra swans were never eaten by bald eagles. There is no arrow connecting them.
D) Wading birds were never eaten by ospreys. There is no arrow connecting them.
Answer:
Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the raw material for photosynthesis, which plants rely on for producing sugars and other organic compounds.
Explanation:
The most accurate statement that supports the researcher's claim is that atmospheric carbon dioxide is the raw material for photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufactures their food in the presence of carbon dioxide and water using sunlight.
The product is usually glucose and oxygen.
The chemical equation is shown below;
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
This raw material is a by-product of cellular respiration in human beings. Other process also releases carbon dioxide. Green plants uses this organic material to manufacture its food through photosynthesis.
We can attribute the increased growth rate in plants to the proliferation of the gases in the atmosphere.
