Answer:

response to stimuli / tropism

Explanation:

The plants and animals always respond to stimuli. It is an innate character of all living things. When a bright light falls on the eye, it closes immediately. This is responding to the stimuli. When someone touches the leaves of touch-me-not plants it closes its leaves due to the external stimuli.

The plants respond to the light. Because it does photosynthesis in the presence of light. Therefore, the leaves and branches of the plants always bend towards the light. This process is called phototropism.

Similarly, the roots of the plants move towards gravity under the ground. This is called geotropism.

Besides phototropism and geotropism, other types of stimuli are there - hydrotropism(response to the water), chemotropism(response to certain chemicals).

That's why the plants growing on the windowsill move towards outside where light comes.

Basile [38]

Answer:

In science, accepted theories do not represent absolute truths. A scientific theory is accepted when there is much evidence available that support its statements, but new lines of evidence can modify original presumptions  

Explanation:

A scientific theory is a plausible explanation of a particular phenomenon of the natural world, which has been many times tested and verified by using the scientific method. The accepted theories are progressively modified (or even overturned) as new lines of evidence emerge. In consequence, a scientific theory is composed of statements that we consider as truths regarding the available evidence, but we have no absolute certainty that such statements are true. The ability to self-correct is fundamental in science and it happens when we discover that the original statements of a scientific theory were wrong, thereby new lines of evidence allow us to correct the error and/or develop new scientific theories.

Outline three examples of cycles of inorganic nutrients. For each, outline the uses of the nutrients in living organisms, its me
Serggg [28]

The three examples of cycles of inorganic nutrients are Nitrogen, carbon and sulphur cycle.

Nitrogen is required to make amino acids and DNA in organisms. Carbon is the main component of glucose through which organism make energy, about 18 per-cent of the human body comprises carbon. Sulphur is an important constituent of some proteins, amino acids and enzyme cofactors.

Explanation:

The biogeochemical cycles like the nitrogen cycle are responsible for converting nitrogen into many chemical forms as nitrates, nitrites, ammonia. This process involves degrade decomposing animal and plant matter and naturally cleaning the environment also nitrites and nitrates become biofertilizers. The plants take nitrogen through their roots and in turn primary consumer in food chain ie. organisms consume the plant and eventually releases nitrogen as a waste material, dead and decaying body to the soil and cycle goes on.

In the carbon cycle the carbon is exchanged from the atmosphere to the organisms and then again to the environment. Plants perform photosynthesis by using carbon dioxide, primary consumer eats it and gets nutrition to perform cellular respiration, in turn, gets energy which gets dissipated and stored as biomass eventually in the course consumer die and replenish the soil with carbon. The Carbon emitted will keep cycling through air, water and soil.

The sulphur cycle involves the movement of sulphur between rocks, water and living beings and plants. Plants ( producers) absorb sulphur dissolved in water and animal consume these plants to replenish their sulphur requirement. And when organism die, sulphur enter the cycle again.

There will be a transfer of these inorganic nutrients to the trophic level in food chain.
