How are primary and secondary succession different from one another?

Biology
1 answer:
olasank [31]3 years ago
3 0

Primary succession is when there is literally nothing of the ecosystem left. Everything is wiped clean. There's barely any life sustaining soil. The area has to essentially start from scratch. Typically though this occurs when a brand new piece of land is created. The only example I can think this would occur is on a newly formed volcanic island. There's no soil, plant, or animals on a new volcanic island and has to develop from the very beginning

Secondary succession is where a previous ecosystem gets destroyed. The basic plants and nutrition filled soil is there but larger plants and animals still aren't.  I guess this would occur most likely in a fire.

Hope this helped!

Simora [160]
If each subunit of a hemoglobin protein molecule carries a heme group and a hemoglobin protein molecule is made of four subunits, two α and two β, we can simply multiply four (number of heme groups that can be found in one hemoglobin protein molecule) by three (number of hemoglobin protein molecules considered). 4×3=12
There are twelve heme groups in three hemoglobin protein molecules.

Kidneys are often compared to filters because they cleanse unwanted waste from both frogs and humans true or false ?
PtichkaEL [24]

"Kidneys are often compared to filters because they cleanse unwanted waste from both frogs and humans" is TRUE.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

Frogs also have the excretory system with two kidneys and similar to mammals. Its function is to eliminate the nitrogen product from the blood. Frogs make large volumes of dilute urine to wipe out harmful products from the tubules of the kidneys.

Tadpoles and aquatic frogs excrete the nitrogen as ammonia, but most terrestrial adults excrete it mostly as urea which is less threatening substance. A few tree frog species with little water access excrete the still less harmful uric acid.
