Answer:

The correct answer is B) the fibers of the mitotic spindle.

Explanation:

The Taxol avoids the mitotic spindle to form, affecting directly the fibers of it. This, therefore, will stop the mitosis process, as the microtubules won't be forming properly.

based on the living things in the pyramid, tell me what examples would fit into these categories: primary producers, primary con
algol [13]

Answer:

- Oak trees: primary producers

- Caterpillars: primary consumers

- Blue Jays: secondary consumers

- Hawks: tertiary consumers

Explanation:

A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.
