Why is it important that phosphorus be cycled through an ecosystem

1 answer:

7 0

it is the movement of phosphorus in different chemical forms from the surrounding it organisms and then back to the surrounding.

Hope this helps!

The correct answer is oxidative phosphorylation.

Oxidative phosphorylation refers to the metabolic pathway in which cells utilize enzymes to dissociate nutrients, thus, discharging energy that is used to generate ATP. In the majority of eukaryotes, this occurs within the mitochondria.

Approximately all the aerobic species carry out the process of oxidative phosphorylation. This pathway is possibly so prevalent as it is a highly effective manner of discharging energy, in comparison to substitute fermentation procedures, like anaerobic glycolysis.

What would happen if the keystone species of hummingbirds were taken out of there ecosystem?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Hummingbird predators would not have a food source, therefore competitive exclusion would occur and there'd be a decrease in hummingbird predators. There would also be an increase in the number of the hummingbird's prey since the hummingbird wouldn't be there to consume them. The absence of the species would mess up the rest of the ecosystem

In pea plants, long stems are dominant to short stems, purple flowers are dominant to white, and round peas are dominant to wrin

meriva

Assuming the genes are not linked nor interacting with each other, the expected number of long stemmed plants with purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas, L-P-rr, is 288.

<h3>Available data</h3>

long stems are dominant to short stems
purple flowers are dominant to white,
round peas are dominant to wrinkled

Each trait is determined by a single, different gene.

A heter0zyg0us plant is self-crossed
F1) 2,048 descendants

Let us name te alleles as follows

L ⇒ Long stem
l ⇒ Short stem
P ⇒ Purple flowers
p ⇒ white flowers
R ⇒ Round peas
r ⇒ wrinkled peas

Cross) heter0zyg0us plant is self-crossed

Parental) LlPpRr

Gametes) LPR, LPr, LpR, Lpr, lPR, lPr, lpR, lpr

Assuming that these genes are not linked nor interacting with each other, to make the calcs easier we will make crosses considering each gene separately.

Stems

Parental) Ll x Ll

F1) 1/4 LL, 2/4 Ll, 1/4 ll

3/4 long stem, 1/4 short stem

Flower color

Parental) Pp x Pp

F1) 1/4 PP, 2/4 Pp, 1/4 pp

3/4 purple flowers, 1/4 white flowers

Peas

Parental) Rr x Rr

F1) 1/4 RR, 2/4 Rr, 1/4 rr

3/4 round peas, 1/4 wrinkled peas

Now, we will get the proportion of individuals with long stems, purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas, L-P-rr

Note: The symbol - is representing either a dominant or a recessive allele.

From the crosses, we know that

3/4 are long stemmed,
3/4 have purple flowers, and
1/4 have wrinkled peas.

To get the proportion of individuals expressing all these traits together, we just need to multiply these values.

3/4 L- x 3/4 P- x 1/4 rr = 9/64 L-P-rr

Knowing that the total number of plants is 2,048 and that there are 64 possible gametes combinations from this cross, we will use the proportion 9/64 to get the number of plants with these traits.

64 ------------- 2,048 plants

9 -------------- X = (9 x 2048) / 64 = 288 plants.

We expect to find 288 long stemmed plants with purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas.
