Answer:
Microorganisms can be found both in the external environment (ecosystem) and the internal environment (microflora) of higher organisms.
Explanation:
Microorganisms (microbes) are microscopic forms of life that include bacteria, protists, fungi and animal species, these organisms can se differentiated by using laboratory techniques such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by microscopes. These organisms are both beneficial and both beneficial and pathogenic for humans. For example, the microflora may be useful in digesting nutrients contained in the food. On the other hand, <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> is a pathogen microorganism that is found in the digestive system of mosquitoes and cause malaria in humans.
Answer:
Mitochondria
Explanation:
They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix.
Elephants are herbivores because their diet consists mainly of plants and leafy greens. Herbivores only eat plants therefore elephants are herbivores.
Energy is lost as you go up the trophic levels. Therefore the trophic level with the least amount of energy is the secondary consumers.
Note: I'm not sure where decomposers fall in the food chain. I did not say decomposers as they are and can be present in any trophic level.
Answer:
Pump Ca+ into the cell.
Explanation:
The pumps are used for the transportation of substances against the concentration gradient. These pumps require energy for the transportation of molecules against the concentration gradient.
The most common pump used for the transportation of calcium ions is the calcium pump. These pumps require ATPase activity and transfer calcium against the concentration gradient. The calcium ions are pumped outside of the cell and not cell inside.
Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
