If you categorize humans into large groups based on physical characteristics such as facial features and hair texture, you are relying on which form of categorization?

A. political identity

B. race

C. class- consciousness

D. ethinicity

Answer:

B. Race

Explanation:

Human races are the distinct human populations that are classified and are different from each other with respect to one or other morphological traits. It generally takes into account of the traits such as skin color, hair structure, etc. Mongoloid and negroids are two races of the human that are found in distinct geographical regions and exhibit some distinct traits that are not expressed in the humans of other races. This classification does not consider the ability of mating to produce fertile progeny.

1. How many food chains make up the food web?
viva [34]

Answer:

A food web can be formed by more than one food chain, since the webs includes all possible interactions that can occur between individuals of different trophic levels.

Explanation:

Based on the scheme shown in the image

<h3>1. How many food chains make up the food web? </h3>

This food network is made up of three food chains

  1. <em>Plant → Bird → Snake</em>
  2. <em>Plant → Insect  → Bird → Snake</em>
  3. <em>Plant → insect → Frog → Snake</em>

Food webs often include several food chains, since they are due to the interaction between organisms at different trophic levels, which actually happens within an ecosystem.

<h3> 2. Which organism is an herbivore? </h3>

In this case, both the insect and the bird are herbivorous organisms, since they feed of the producer, which is the plant.

<h3> 3. Which organism is an autotroph? </h3>

The only autotrophic organism is the plant, since it is capable of manufacturing its nutrients from sunlight and inorganic matter.

<h3> 4. Which organism is a third-order heterotroph? To what trophic level does that organism belong? </h3>

The third order heterotroph is the snake, since it feeds on other animals.  The snake is a carnivore and can be a secondary or more commonly tertiary consumer, so it can be placed in the 3rd or 4th trophic level.

<h3> 5. Which organism is an omnivore? </h3>

According to the scheme proposed, the bird is omnivorous, since it feeds on both plants and insects.

<h3> 6. Which organisms belong to more than one food chain? </h3>

In this case, the plant, the insect, the bird and the snake are part of more than one food chain.

  1. <u><em>Plant → Bird → Snake</em></u>
  2. <u><em>Plant → Insect  → Bird → Snake</em></u>
  3. <u><em>Plant → insect</em></u><em> → Frog → </em><u><em>Snake</em></u>
<h3> 7. Which organism belongs to more than one trophic level? </h3>

The bird can be located in both the second and third trophic level, being a primary consumer —when it feeds on plants— or secondary, when it feeds on insects.

<h3> 8. What are decomposers? From which trophic levels are the organisms that decomposers feed on? </h3>

Decomposers are generally bacteria and fungi, organisms capable of degrading organic matter, thus enriching the soil. Decomposers can feed on any trophic level.

<h3> 9. What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain? </h3>

As the ascent of the pyramid occurs —or at the upper trophic level— the amount of energy available decreases. This is because from one trophic level to another only 10% of the energy can be used. If a plant has 5000 Kcal available, the herbivore that consumes it can only use 500 Kcal.

<h3> 10. Why do different trophic levels have different amounts of energy?</h3>

The main <u>reason for the difference in energy in each trophic level is that energy is lost in each one of them</u>, which the organisms use in their metabolism. A consequence of the metabolism is the loss of energy as heat, which is acquired by the environment.

Animal regeneration can produce whole organism or parts of organism and repair injury.

Clones today are done at genetic level by using molecular biology techniques as compared to old days when only nucleus would be removed from the egg cell and desired nucleus is inserted for cloning.

Explanation:

Regeneration is a process in which whole organism or part of which is produced from pre existing cells or group of cells and tissue. Regeneration helps in maintaining the integrity of morphology and physiology.

In lower animals like hydra and planaria whole organism is generated by existing parts. This process is termed as totipotency.

In higher animals however injury repair by mitosis is an example of regeneration.

Plant structure involved in vegetative propagation are: bulbs, rhizomes and tubers.

Vegetative propagation can be done by grafting, cutting, bulb formation, tuber, layering and tissue culture methods.

Cloning is a process in which a genetical or identical copy of an organism or the cell is made by molecular biology techniques. The use of DNA sequences, molecular scissors, stem cells and plasmid are the latest techniques of cloning.

Cloning is used for treating serious diseases as diabetes and heart injury.

In old days one cell would have its nucleus removed and placed into the egg and eventually organism produced

Advantages of tissue culture:

From a single explants, large number of plants can be made.

Obtaining plants of desired trait from tissue culture is easy in short span.

No seeds are required for the growing of new plants.

What is an example of a symbiotic organism?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The symbiotic relationship between an anemone (Heteractis magnifica) and a clownfish (Amphiron ocellaris) is a classic example of two organisms benefiting the other; the anemone provides the clownfish with protection and shelter, while the clownfish provides the anemone nutrients in the form of waste while also scaring
