In the late 1960s, Robert Paine conducted landmark studies on diversity in the rocky intertidal zone, comparing the species dive

rsity in control plots with diversity in experimental plots from which he removed the top predator, sea stars. After 5 years, 15 species of intertidal invertebrates lived in the control plots, while the experimental plots were dominated by only two species, one mussel and one barnacle. The process most likely responsible for the loss of species diversity in the experimental plots was:a. predation.
b. mutualism.
c. resource partitioning.
d. parasitism.
e. competitive exclusion.

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

During conducting the experiment, it was performed in control conditions. In this case the top predators were removed.

There were limited number of organism left at the place which compete with each other for the same resources.

Mussel and Barnacle were the two species left there which feed on the same resources for their needs. This is the reason there was loss of diversity.

Active transport and its type in detail
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Active transport requires cellular energy to achieve this movement. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.

4 Types:

1. P-type ATPase: sodium potassium pump, calcium pump, proton pump

2. F-ATPase: mitochondrial ATP synthase, chloroplast ATP synthase

3. V-ATPase: vacuolar ATPase

4. ABC (ATP binding cassette) transporter: MDR, CFTR, etc.

Jesse has a class project. She wants to show how CO2 from the atmosphere gets converted to carbonates. What kind of process woul
spin [16.1K]

Answer;

-Photosynthesis

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is referred to as the process where plants use energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water to make food. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for maintaining and producing oxygen content of the atmosphere of the earth and then supplies all organic compounds and energy which is necessary for life.

- Carbon dioxide may be removed from the atmosphere when it is used by plants and algae for photosynthesis, dissolved in water, or deposited in the sediments on land or in the ocean. During photosynthesis there is photosynthetic conversion of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates by plants, releasing oxygen in the process.

The chyme then enters the large intestine. (Or The Digestive sytem anways)
