1. What is the limiting factor for most animal life in the open ocean?

Biology
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Biotic: <em>Food availability</em>

Abiotic: <em>Temperature</em>

Explanation:

There are two types of limiting factors for biodiversity: biotic and abiotic. Biotic refers to living things, for example, organisms that are an important food source. <u>Most animal life forms in the ocean highly depend on the availability of a food source</u>. If food is limited or scarce, the populations of a given species could face significant declines.

On the other hand, there are abiotic factors, which refer to factors that are not alive, such as physical factors. For instance, temperature and light. <u>For marine organisms, temperature is a critical factor.</u> Even an increase of 'only' 1 ºC could make a huge difference in the survival of a species as it could disrupt their ability to forage, hunt, or perform physiological processes, <em>e.g.</em> metabolism.

Therefore, <u>if we refer to a biotic factor, food availability is a limiting factor for most animal life in the open ocean, whereas, if the refer to an abiotic factor, temperature (and light) are limiting factors for pelagic life.</u>

. A failure of the red-sensitive nerves in the eye to respond to light properly causes
pshichka [43]
The correct answer is A. Color blindness.

This causes the eye not only to be unable to see the Red color, but also the Green color, which leads to color blindness in people.

If you treated embryos with a Notch inhibitor how would this affect the specification of venous and arterial endothelial cells?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

d. all endothelial cells would be venous

Explanation:

The Notch signaling pathway is a cell signaling system which consist basically of 4 NOTCH genes ( NOTCH1, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and NOTCH4) each of them having the information to build a particular cell membrane receptor protein.

It has been demonstrated in zebrafish embryos that Notch signaling are highly determinant factors during vascular development, and a key function of these genes was specifically to regulate the differentiation of arterial fate in endothelial cells.

Notch signaling-deficient embryos showed a loss of expression of arterial markers such as ephrinB2 from arterial vessels with an accompanying expansion of venous markers into normally arterial domains. In contrast, embryos in which Notch signaling had been ectopically activated, meaning an activation out of "proper" place (where not expected, e.g. venous endothelial), exhibited the contrary phenotype, this is a suppression of vein-specific markers with ectopic expression of arterial markers in venous vessels.

To summarize, when Notch is supressed (in this case inhibited with a specific Notch inhibitor) arterial fate of endothelium is not followed, and venous fate is stablished. Thus, endothelial cells (those expected to form venous tissues but also arterial ones) would specified as venous.

The image shows an example of a sedimentary rock.
ahrayia [7]

The correct answer is - the ocean animals deposited in its layers.

The sedimentary rock on the image is clearly an organic sedimentary rock because it contains fossils of marine animals. This type of sedimentary rocks form when sediments and organic matter come in contact, are merged, or rather naturally cemented so they are stuck together, and the end result is a sedimentary rock with organic matter involved in its composition. The organic sedimentary rocks are much more common in places where there was once a marine life, and much rarer with organic matter from terrestrial animals in it, though there are some rich deposits from that type in certain places as well.
