I am answering under the assumption that those are cacti in the desert. Well as we know, cacti are producers they have the ability to synthesize their own food using photosynthesis which is a process that converts solar energy into glucose “food”. It has the ability to be a good source to small animals with its fruits and seeds. An example is, some insects feed off the nectar from the cacti. A second reason is that cacti are carbon sinks meaning that they take in carbon dioxide. Just to familiarize you the formula for photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O + energy equals glucose + O2 . Without carbon dioxide none of it is possible. Without cacti, CO2 levels would increase leading to bad affects.

<span>The choices for this question are:
</span>-is biologically magnified in ... are recycled in
-is dissipated in ... flow through
-flows through ... are recycled in
-is continuously supplied to ... are continuously removed from
<span>-is recycled in ... flow through</span><span>

On a global scale, energy flows through ecosystems whereas chemical elements are recycle in ecosystems. So the answer is the third option. 

Energy flows through the ecosystem. Most energy comes from sunlight and it is transformed into chemical energy by autotrophs. When they are consumed by heterotrophs the energy is passed on, until it dissipates as heat.  
</span><span>
Chemical elements like carbon and nitrogen, on the other hand, are cycled between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. This is not possible for energy. These chemical elements come from abiotic factors like the air, light and soil. They are incorporated in the biomass of the photosynthetic organisms and are consumed by other organisms. They are changed back into their inorganic form when the organism dies and are broken down by decomposers and the cycle goes on. So they are constantly being recycled. 

In summary, energy needs a continuous source to be able to maintain and sustain the energy flow in the ecosystem. Chemical elements, on the other hand, are just recycled through processes between abiotic factors and biotic factors. </span>

Cytotoxic T cells and NK cells kill by secretion of proteins. The first called granzyme which forms complexes that penetrate the
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<u>Option-(True):</u> The following statement is true in all sense, as the "Cytotoxic T cells and NK cells kill by secretion of proteins. The first called granzyme which forms complexes that penetrate the cell membrane and allows the passage of the apoptosis inducing protein perforin to enter the targeted cell."    

Explanation:

  • In order to make it more difficult for the pathogens and other foreign particles to stay inside the human body, the defense mechanism of the human body system has evolved itself to great extents as there are different level of immune layers and more over cells that either helps in the recognition of these anti-bodies or attacks them to be eliminated from the given system.
  • As the hazardous or cancer cells which are not required to stay inside the human body is removed with the help of these lymphocytes inside the immune system of the human body.

DNA Structure and Function Study Guide AP Biology 1. Match each scientist listed below with their contribution to the study of D
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

E. Erwin Chargaff >>  Discovered that there were equal amounts of the nitrogen bases A T and C G in a human body cell; concluded that A paired with T and C paired with G

B. Hershey and Chase>> Did experiments with viruses to determine that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a cell

A. Frederick Griffith>> Did experiments with S and R strain pneumonia bacteria to determine that DNA is the genetic material of a cell

C. Rosalind Franklin >> Took x-ray crystallography images of a DNA molecule.

Explanation:

Chargaff rules helped to determine the double helix structure of the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), i.e., the genetic material of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Chargaff indicated that DNA from any species contains a 1:1 ratio of purine bases (Adenine and Guanine) and pyrimidine bases (Cytosine and Thymine). Hershey and Chase provided evidence that the DNA, instead of protein, is the hereditary material. Hershey and Chase used radioactive phosphorus-32 in order to label the DNA of specific bacteriophages (T2), and they discovered that the DNA was responsible to generate progeny inside infected bacteria (i.e., DNA was hereditary material). Frederick Griffith observed that DNA molecule was the transforming factor that could be transferred to innocuous <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> bacteria in order to convert them into deadly bacteria. Finally, Rosalind Franklin obtained the first X-ray image that showed the diffraction pattern of a crystallized DNA molecule, which was used by Watson and Crick to propose that DNA had a double helix structure.

The greenhouse effect is caused solely by human activity. true or false
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

It is because the greenhouse effect is a natural process which takes place in the environment by its own.

The greenhouse gases trap the heat energy coming from the sun and the energy which is radiated from the earth and helps in keeping the earth warm.

Natural processes such as volcanic eruptions, cellular respiration, forest fires, transpiration, decomposition et cetera produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapors, methane et cetera.

The activities of humans increase the effects of the greenhouse effect however, they are not the sole reasons for this natural effect.
