Pollination cycles do not really have any direct effect with the soil. Releasing moisture from leaves does replenish some water needed in the soil that is cycled back through the transport systems of plants but does not hold back soil. Photosynthetic activities only draw up nutrients, minerals, and water from the soil through roots.

Therefore, the often elaborate ROOT SYSTEMS are the answer. This is because the roots hold the plants in the ground (soil) and by this, the plants prevent natural disasters, artificial actions, and/or excess water to wash away soil. The roots help to reinforce the soil and hold it together.

The final step in the hybridization of radioactive DNA and normal DNA is to:
fgiga [73]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Cooling reduces the excitement of the molecules of the DNA hence allowing the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs of the two strands to form hence the DNA is considered to anneal. Heating disrupts the hydrogen bonds and causes the two strands to dissociate.

An ecologist wants to know if diversity in a forest system is likely to decrease when an invasive species is introduced. This in
Alona [7]

Answer:

A model in which oak has a positive transition rate to the invasive and the invasive has a positive transition to oak.

Explanation:

An invasive species is the one which is non-native to the given ecosystem. Its growth hampers balanced ecological parameters and disturbs food web as well as normal flora.The overall effect of invasive species is decreasing biodiversity in selected ecosystem. As the ecologist needs to understand effect of this invasive species, firstly it is important to understand the transition of oak tress to invasive form. The transition rate is one of the deciding factor to introduce diversity in ecosystem. Also if the invasive form has the ability to revert back to original oak tress it would restore the original ecosystem. Thus a model in which oak has a positive transition rate to invasive and the invasive has a position transition to oak can be selected for the analysis. In other models, the final trnasition to grass would introduce lot of biodiversity in selected ecosystem which would be of little importance to understand transition rate.

Types of chlorophyll in p680 and p700 and why it matters
Bingel [31]
P700 is photosystem I. It includes chlorophyll a 670, 680, 695, 700, Chlorophyll b, carotenoids. The active reaction center of photosystem is p700, as it absorbs light of a wavelength longer than 680nm.
P680 or the photosystem II has the following pigments: chlorophyll b, 660, 670, 680, 695, 700, phycobilins, and xanthophylls. The active reaction center, in this case, is p680 of chlorophyll a, as it absorbs the light having a wavelength shorter than 680nm.
