Options:

  • a lake
  • a prairie
  • the land an organic farmer uses to raise crops to feed his dairy cattle
  • a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Answer:

a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains

Explanation:

The land a farmer uses is likely to be quite highly regulated in order to ensure that his dairy cattle thrive. That means the growth of certain plants will be controlled, and this will likely impact diversity.

A lake and a prairie could have diverse and balanced ecosystems. However, due to the limited habitat are likely only to harbour specific organisms. E.g. the lake will only harbor organisms that thrive in water environments.

A large island will, first of all, have a lot of space to support diversity. It is in the tropics, meaning it will have species suited to a hot and wet environment. Since it is an island, there will also be the involvement of sea/ocean dwelling creatures. However, there is also mountainous habitat that has snow, meaning it is high up and cold. This provides a habitat for even more species adapted to different environments.

Therefore, the island will be the most diverse.

Answer:

a large island in the tropics that has snow-capped mountains

Explanation:

A tropical land area/ecosystem will by far have the greatest diversity in the ecosystem.

Biodiversity is the variation of life forms in an area. This is usually a function of the number of lives an area can support.

  • The tropics have abundant energy and the net production is very high.
  • Since there is availability of food for most organisms, different life form will find it easy to thrive in such an area.
  • Tropical regions of the world are the most biodiverse in the world with a rich fauna and floral abundance.

Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have
liubo4ka [24]

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.

During a windstorm, a large old tree fell in the forest. As it came down, it trapped a young sapling about 5 meters tall underneath it. The top of the 

Auxin and gibberellin in the sapling's stem will cause a gravitropic response in the sapling, and its stop will grow upward even though it is held down.
