In 1963 a new island was formed from a volcanic eruption. The island was named Surtsey and is located off the southern end of Ic

eland. There are no human inhabitants on Surtsey and scientists have forbidden humans from colonizing the island. Four students made statements about the island and presented them to their professor, which student’s argument is the BEST?
Question 1 options:


Student B says this is a great example of primary succession because the island began with no soil



Student A says this is a great example of primary succession since humans have not immigrated to the island



Student D says this is a great example of secondary succession because the island was immediately visited by sea birds



Student C says this is a great example of secondary succession because the island came from an undersea volcano

Answer:

Student B

Explanation:

<em>Student B's argument is the best argument out of the four students's argument.</em>

<u>A new island formed as a result of volcanic eruption will have to undergo processes that will enable its colonization by living organisms - a form of primary succession. The living organisms that will colonize the newly formed island are referred to as pioneer species.</u>

Generally, succession represents a gradual change in the species structure of a community over a period of time. Sometimes, this change can take thousands of years as some species keep getting replaced by another species till a relatively stable community (climax community) is reached.

Succession that happens when an area that has not held any form of life before is colonized by life is known as primary succession.

When an area that holds different species of living organisms undergo a period of disturbance to its structure, it tries to adjust itself over time and the kind of succession that takes place is known as secondary succession.

Compare and contrast three metabolic pathways by choosing whether the statement applies to aerobic respiration. Check all that a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be options

1. Process includes glycolysis.

2. Between 2 and 38 ATP are produced per molecule of glucose input .

3. Much or most of the ATP produced is produced by oxidative phosphorylation.

4. Process involves electron transport and chemiosmosis.

5.  End products are CO₂ and H₂O.

6. Process involves the Krebs cycle.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the oxidative process which involves the breakdown of food molecules like glucose, amino acids and fats to release heat and energy in the form of ATP.

In the presence of oxygen or aerobic respiration it undergoes four stages: glycolysis, link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain while in the anaerobic reaction it produces ethanol and carbon dioxide by the process of fermentation.

Each stage produces energy in the form of ATP molecules or co-enzymes NADH OR FADH₂ like glycolysis produces 2 ATP and link reaction, Krebs cycle produces NADH OR FADH₂ in addition to ATP. Each NADH produces 3 ATP while Each FADH₂ produces 2 ATP during electron transport chain.  So, ATP molecules are produced between 2 to 38 ATP molecules in each stage with large number during electron transport chain from these co-enzymes.

The waste products produced in the stages of cellular respiration are CO₂ molecules and H₂O which is also known as metabolic water.
