Activation energy is required to start a chemical reaction. Activation energy is the energy needed to allow the reactant to react. Activation energy is measured in Joules (J).
In a cornfield, only one plant species has dominated the area, that is the corn plant. While in a natural meadow, multiple species of plants occurs of different species. The presence of the different types of plants in the meadow will interact more number of insects in it as compared to the corn field. This will lead to more interactions among the different species in a natural meadow. The greater biodiversity of the natural meadow than the cornfield will support it better.
In case of any natural disaster, or a pest attack, all the plants will be killed in a corn field and so will the insects dependent on them, but in a natural meadow, if one plant species is killed by a natural disaster, other will still be alive. Hence, the ability to survive is greater in natural meadow.
Answer:
Elements and compounds cannot be broken down into simpler substances by an ordinary process because of the following reasons.
1) Elements cannot be broken down by chemical or physical methods because elements is composed of atoms which are indivisible.
2) Compound cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary process because elements present in the compound are combined with each other chemically.
Answer:
At a given chiasma, an exchange of genetic material can occur between both chromatids, what is called a chromosomal crossover, but this is much more frequent during meiosis than mitosis. In meiosis, absence of a chiasma generally results in improper chromosomal segregation and aneuploidy.
