When researchers are measuring plant productivity, they usually harvest and measure above-ground biomass. But with grassland pla

nts, it is common to find that most of an individual's biomass is in its root system. Why don't researchers measure below-ground biomass as well?

LekaFEV [45]3 years ago

Answer:

Because of the fibrous root network of grasses.

Explanation:

<em>Measuring below ground biomass of grass plants is technically impossible and difficult because of the fibrous root network different plants form with one another and within the soil. The network virtually makes it impossible to individually extract all the underground biomass of each grass.</em>

Describe the importance of biomes such as forests, freshwater, and marine biomes? How have human actions affected these biomes?
Allisa [31]

Forest biome:  It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological  functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.

Freshwater biome:  We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.

Marine biome:  It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.

As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.

Some organisms undergo asexual reproduction through mitosis, while others reproduce sexually, and their cells undergo meiosis to
Sav [38]
The answer is <span>A. Meiosis: It increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive.

Meiosis increases genetic variation. This means there is a great variety of genotypes among the population. Hence, there are organisms able to survive in a wider range of temperature. If </span><span>there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, some of the organisms will survive because their genotype allows them to live in such conditions. If there were no variety thanks to meiosis, all of the organisms would die. And that is not beneficial to a species.
Imagine on the other hand that mitosis occurred. Mitosis does not provide a variety of genotypes and all of the organism will be the same. </span><span>If there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, all of the organisms would die because all of them could respond to the change in the same way.</span>

Which of the following is NOT one of the
Dimas [21]

The way that does not successfully classify protists is their size. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>What are Protists?</h3>

Protists may be defined as one of the diverse taxonomic groups and particularly a kingdom of eukaryotic organisms that are unicellular and sometimes colonial or less often multicellular and that generally include the protozoans, most algae, and often some fungi.

On the basis of the way that Protists reproduce, they can be subdivided into three types: Sexually reproducing protists, asexually reproducing protists, and conjugation-based.

On the basis of how protists get energy and food, they are again subdivided into three categories.

  • Animal-like protists: Heterotrophs that have the ability to move.
  • Plant-like protists: Autotrophs that have the ability of photosynthesis.
  • Fungi-like protists: Heterotrophs have cells with cell walls.

On the basis of the way that they move, they are subdivided into two types: Motile protists and non-motile protists. They generally move with the help of cilia, flagella, and pseudopodia.

Therefore, the size is not one of the following ways that protists are grouped. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.
