Eyes are sensitive to light and when light falls on them, they transmit electrical signals to the brain. The lens in the eye focuses light falling on it, on to the retina. Depeding on the amount of light and distance of objects from the eyes, the lens changes shape to allow focus on objects at varying distances and this is called accommodation.

Compare the process of carbon fixation in C3 plants to that of C4 plants.

Gre4nikov [31]

Carbon fixation is the process in which plants remove the carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide and turn it into organic molecules like carbohydrates.

Because different type of plants are located in regions with different conditions they are different types of carbon fixation. Plants that live in arid regions need to conserve water, while plants that live in more moist conditions will not need to conserve water.

The carbon fixation in C3 plants is one-step process. An oxidation reaction occurs because of the enzyme RuBisCo. During the oxidation some of the energy used in photosynthesis is lost in a process known as photorespiration.

Select the best answer that describes how lionfish are impacting biodiversity in Florida. O Lionfish are consuming large quantit

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Lionfish are rapidly consuming many smaller fish species along the coast at depths up to 90 meters.

Explanation:

Lionfish is an invasive species that has been successfully established in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a tropical species that lives mostly in reefs and rocks that provide protection. It inhabits waters from the coast to 50 meters deep.

Because of its high densities in the Atlantic, Lionfish is a promoter of ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences. They only have a few predators and consume a high diversity of prey items. They produce an ecological imbalance in the trophic chains of the marine ecosystem. When competing with native piscivores, they imbalance the dynamics of fish communities in coral reefs and mangroves. The density of young and herbivores fishes has decreased because of their predation by the lionfish. By predating on algae eating fishes, they provoke a sharp increase in algae populations, which produces serious damages in the coral reefs, enhancing their mortality. The main consequences of these damages are marine biodiversity loss, water quality decrease, ecosystem recovery difficulty, and impacts on food provisioning for many other ocean species.
