D. Lichens live on other plants and provide nutrients for them, it’s a type of symbiotic relationship.
Three examples of marine genetically engineered organisms are:
1. AquAdvantage salmon is genetically engineered Atlantic salmon modified in order to achieve fast growth. A growth hormone-regulating gene of Pacific salmon is introduced in the genome of Atlantic salmon.
2. Grass carp was also modified by scientist in order to enhance its protection from contagious diseases. It has been modified with a transgene coding for lactoferrin (antibacterial function). So, the, survival rate of the modified Grass carp was doubled comparing to nonmodifeied fish.
3. Zebrafish is the most commonly used for modification because it has 1-cell embryo, with clear chorion so it is easy to be micro-injected with transgenic DNA.
Answer:
Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream. This lets the hormones travel to cells in other parts of the body. The endocrine hormones help control mood, growth and development, the way our organs work, metabolism , and reproduction. The endocrine system regulates how much of each hormone is released.
Explanation:
Answer:
D. How deep the lake is
Explanation:
The benthic zone is the zone that is at the bottom of the lakes. This means that the characteristics of this zone and weather photosynthesis will be a possibility depend on the depth of the lake. If the lake is deep, then the photosynthesis will not be possible in this zone as the sunlight will not be able to reach it, thus this zone will be very poor in organisms. On the other hand, if the lake is shallow and the water is clear, then the sunlight will be able to reach the benthic zone, thus providing the conditions for the process of photosynthesis, and it will be very rich in organisms.
Answer:
a) Humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen
Explanation:
Biodiversity refers to the richness in the species of organisms on Earth i.e the variety of biological organisms on the Earth. The importance of biodiversity cannot be overemphasized because of our dependence on the sustainability of biodiversity in our ecosystems.
The loss of biodiversity, which is becoming rampant by the day, is a major concern to us because we humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen. Humans are strictly heterotrophic and hence are reliant on variety of organisms for food. Plants also release oxygen gas via their photosynthetic process, which is key to our survival as a population.
