The nematodes are the free living soil microfauna of the soil. These nematodes are important for the ecosystem as they act as decomposes for the organic materials and also help to recycle the important nutrients in the soil. They influence the degradation and mineralization of organic matter. The nematodes also form a relationship with the bacteria and fungi of the soil which also helps in the basic functions of the nematodes. The nematodes also share a small fraction of total biomass and respiration in the soil. Therefore, nematodes are also responsible for the production of carbon dioxide in the soil. This carbon dioxide also helps the bacteria and fungi in the decomposition of the organic matter in the soil.

Why is the aplysia such a popular animal for single-cell studies of learning?

Feliz [49]

<span>Aplysia is a marine gastropod mollusc which is an often used model organism in neuroscience, especially on the cellular biology of learning and memory. What makes them easy to work with are their giant neurons, which are one of the largest. Aplysia neurons are suitable for studies of how neurons and neural circuits control behaviours. Its defensive reflex has been studied because it is mediated by electrical synapses, which allow several neurons to fire synchronously.</span>

Why do fish have gills

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: Like us, fish also need to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide in order to survive. But instead of lungs, they use gills. ... As the fish opens its mouth, water runs over the gills, and blood in the capillaries picks up oxygen that's dissolved in the water.

At the salinity of average seawater, what happens to density as the temperature increases? Is this also true of fresh water? Bra

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The density of water increases as the salinity increases. The density of seawater (salinity greater than 24.7) increases as temperature decreases at all temperatures above the freezing point. The density of seawater is increased by increasing pressure.
