Answer:

A. Bacterial species use a limited number of nutrient sources.

Explanation:

    There are two classes of nutrients that are indispensable to bacteria: macronutrients (carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and hydrogen) and micronutrients (iron, zinc, manganese, calcium, potassium, sodium, copper, chlorine, cobalt, molybdenum, selenium, magnesium, among many others). But it takes more than the nutrients for them to feed, it takes the metabolism, because it is through it that they transform what they have into food.

    The absorption of nutrients to carry out the metabolism only occurs because there are growth factors (environmental) that influence the development of the bacteria. Some examples of these factors are: light, temperature, pH, oxygen and osmotic pressure. Each organism has an optimal growth temperature, or a favorable pH to successfully carry out its metabolism. This will vary from species to species.

If the number of photosynthetic organisms on the earth decreased drastically, which would happen as a result?
IgorLugansk [536]
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.

What is the answer to this question?"explain two difficulties an ecologist might have in counting a population of migratory bird
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>It may be difficult for ecologists to determine the size of a bird population if that population migrates to different locations throughout the year. During migration, some birds may split off from the group and not return, others may die, and still others may join. Therefore, the bird population will be in constant flux. It is hard to know, when the birds return to their prior location, if the population consists of the same group of birds (in addition to deaths and births) or whether it has grown or shrank through other means. However, to estimate the size, an ecologist can track a migratory flock through several years, counting each year to get a general sense of the population size. Additionally, given one measurement, an ecologist could consider the average lifespan and birth rates of the population to extrapolate the size of the population in subsequent years.</span>

Molecular scientists can read the DNA code and compare the DNA of different organisms. This concept is used in molecular clocks
Ad libitum [116K]
<span>Molecular scientists can read the DNA code and compare the DNA of different organisms. This concept is ude in molecular clocks to determine the Moleular Phylogenies. It is letter B. Hereditary molecular differences are being analyzed in phylogeny which is mainly from the DNA sequence in order to acquire information on the evolutionary relationships of an organism.</span>
