Plant like Protists - also called algae - autotrophs
Fungus like Protists - heterotrophs, decomposers, external digestion 

From the above their role in the aquatic food chain is clear . 

They perform their role as 
1) producers = example = Plant like Protists - also called algae - autotrophs 

2 ) consumers = example =Animal like Protists - also called protozoa (means "first animal") - heterotrophs 
and 
3) Decomosers = example ==Fungus like Protists - heterotrophs, decomposers, external digestion

How do ldl and hdl differ structurally and functionally?

ZanzabumX [31]

The main structural difference between LDL and HDL is their compositions. Approximately 50% of the weight of an LDL particle is cholesterol and only 25% is protein. High-density lipoprotein particles, on the other hand, consist of 20% percent cholesterol by weight and 50% protein.

How do glycolysis, pyruvate processing, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain work together to provide energy for th

Ivahew [28]

When the cell gains glucose, the process of glycolysis occurs and then the glucose is broken down into pyruvate.

Now, in pyruvate processing, Acetyl CoA is produced and used in the Krebs Cycle.

During that process, NADH and FADH2 are made and go into the electron transport chain. That is where water and ATP are made.

The length of bamboo grows much faster than that of thickness why?

iren [92.7K]

Using a slow- and fast-growing variant of bamboo, Wei and colleagues looked at cell division, growth, and gene expression (through transcriptomics, which measures all the genes being expressed by an individual) to discover which genes may be responsible for fast growth in bamboo. They found that the slow-growing variant had reduced expression of genes relating to cell wall construction, the plant hormone auxin (important for cell growth and cell division), and had irregular cell growth and cell walls. Wei and colleagues suggest that a reduced ability to produce and perceive auxin, combined with a weakened cell wall, are responsible for the slow growth seen in the bamboo variant.

The actual niche the organism is able to occupy in the presence of competitors is called its:_____________.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

B) realized niche

Explanation:

The ecological niche refers to all the environmental factors that influence the growth, survival, and reproduction of species. These factors also include the interaction between species. The term ecological niche refers to the fundamental niche or the realized niche.

The fundamental niche refers only to factors or physical conditions under which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.

The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of environmental conditions and the interaction with other species.

When an inferior competitor is excluded by the superior competitor, this is known as competitive exclusion. This occurs when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective or realized niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.

In the exposed example the organism is able to occupy a niche in the presence of competitors, which is the clue for us to classify this niche as a realized niche. The organism needs to interact in a certain way with its competitors. There is an interaction between taxonomic groups, or between individuals.
