Answer:
Answer is D , Secondary
Explanation:
An example of Secondary Succession by stages:
1. A are of growth 2. A disturbance, such as a fire, destroys the forest
3. The fire burns the forest to the ground
4. The fire leaves behind empty, but not destroyed soil
5. Grasses and other herbaceous plants grow back first
6. Small bushes and trees begin to colonize the public area
7. Fast growing evergreen trees and bamboo trees develop to their fullest, while shade-tolerant trees develop in the understory
8. The short-lived and shade intolerant evergreen trees die as the larger deciduous trees overtop them. The ecosystem is now back to a similar state to where it began.
Answer:
B. Stable ecosystems
Explanation:
The main cause of the biodiversity experienced in rain forests is largely due to the stable ecosystems that they enjoy.
A stable ecosystem is a sustainable one that does not change too much over the course of time.
Most organisms and the diverse life forms are easily nourished by the provisions made available by nature in such regions.
- Most rain forest receives a large amount of solar radiation and energy all year round as the sun is directly overhead here.
- This suggests that the producers have enough energy to cater for their own need and that of the organisms there in.
- The consumers and decomposers have sufficient food available all year round.
- This coupled with other factors whereby organisms have specially adapted to environmental conditions makes a rain forest very biodiverse with life forms.
- An unstable ecosystem cannot be biodiverse
Similarities:
They contain nematocyst (cells that sting)
some are sessil/free swimming
Some corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae, they need to grow in shallow waters so that light can penetrate for the algae to photosynthesize.
This Allows organisms such as bacteria to rapidly adjust their transcription patterns in response to environmental conditions. in addition regulatory sites on prokaryotic DNA are typically located close to transcription promoter sites - and this plays an important part in gene expression
Water cycles through organisms and rivers.
