A forest is cut down to put a field of corn how will this affect the biodiversity of the area

Biology
1 answer:
Mademuasel [1]4 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Cutting down a forest to plant corn in an area has telling consequences on the biodiversity of life in an area. Some of the consequences are:

  • Habitat loss by organisms reduces their population and leads to a drop in biodiversity.
  • Some arboreal organisms that lives in trees becomes threatened and they will eventually be lost.
  • A forest is a diverse ecosystem that offers a broad range of life sustaining resources to organisms.  A corn field is highly limited ecosystem.
  • Converting a forest to a corn field leads to decrease in the biodiversity of  an area.
  • There is less food and competition will become higher.

How might a plant cope with the fact that the Calvin cycle uses more ATP than NADPH, yet produces roughly the same amount of bot
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Photosynthesis can revert from a noncyclic to cyclic electron flow, producing more ATP than NADPH.

Explanation:

A Calvin Cycle is defined as a process by which various plants and algae takes carbon dioxide from the air and turns it into sugar, the food which the  food autotrophs needs to grow. The Calvin cycle is required for every living being on earth to survive.

Both the ATP and the NADPH are required by the Calvin cycle. It occurs in the chloroplast stroma of the plants. Calvin cycle uses more amount of ATP than the NADPH and produces roughly same amount of both the energies. Photosynthesis may revert from the noncyclic to the cyclic electron flow and it produces more ATP than NADPH.

Should we devote time and money to developing alternative energy resources? Why?
tia_tia [17]
I believe that we should devote time and money into developing alternative energy resources. There is a lot of debate as to whether or not global warming is man made or not but even if its not burning fossil fuels causes quite a bit of pollution and can be expensive and dangerous

How does matter cycle AND energy flow through living and nonliving things in an ecosystem?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Matter cycles through an ecosystem through processes called biogeochemical cycles.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis

Plants build carbohydrates by taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Carbon moves through the food chain

As organisms eat other organisms, carbon moves up the food chain. Molecules in the food that contain carbon transform into the organic molecules that make up the living body.

Carbon moves back to the environment

Organisms use food molecules, containing carbon, as a form of energy. The process of cellular respiration breaks down food molecules into carbon dioxide.

Contribution of industry

Humans contribute to moving carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels.

Use of fossil fuels

Today's fossil fuels were formed hundreds of millions of years ago by plants deposited in the Earth. The decomposition of the plants slowed down in such a way that their organic molecules are used for natural gas, coal and oil.

Diffusion into the air

From the oceans, carbon dioxide diffuses into the air. This creates a large amount of carbon, which is then taken in by plants to start the cycle over again.

What are the elements essential to living organisms??? Please help.
garik1379 [7]
The six most common elements inliving things are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Atoms of these elementscombine and form thousands of large molecules. These large molecules make up the structures of cells and carry out many processes essential to life.
