Which statement describes how pioneer species and climax communities are different?
Lorico [155]

Answer: D). Primary species have large numbers of offsprings, and climax communities contain species that have small numbers of offsprings.

An ecological succession is a process of gradual changes occurs in a biological community with respect to changes in the non-living abiotic factors  (water, air and sunlight) and with respect to time until the ecosystem attains stability. Primary or pioneer species are the species which invade the previously barren and primitive landmass for their survival. These species make the environment suitable for the growth of other species. These grow and develop in the initial stages of succession. These species are simple organisms which reproduce asexually and produces large number of offsprings. Examples are lichen and moss. Lichen grows on the surface of rocks and acids released by them causes withering of rocks into soil which facilitate the growth of mosses and other plants. Climax community develops in an ecosystem after replacing many previously inhabiting species. Climax community develops in the end of the ecological succession. It contains species which are highly complex and uses sexual reproduction for the production of offsprings which are less in number as compared to those produced by pioneer species by asexual reproduction.

Explain why the ratio of motor neurons to muscle fibers is greater in muscles that control eye movement than in postural muscles
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The muscles of the eye cover a greater number and in turn carry out greater fine motor skills.

Explanation:

Alpha motor neurons are neurons that invent the skeletal muscle, that is, striated, so that through the motor plate that is the unit that unites them, an action potential is transmitted that contracts the sarcomeros of the elastic fibers and the z lines. come closer, each eye movement is much more precise than the locomotion of the lower limb, which carries greater innervation in each muscle bundle due to the specificity of the movement, this is how more alpha motor neurons are required to mobilize the eye than a leg.
