Why is it important to understand levels of organization in living systems in terms of both structure and function of each level

Answer:

The living world can be organized into different levels.

Levels of organization are structures in nature, usually defined by part-whole relationships, with things at higher levels being composed of things at the next lower level. Typical levels of organization that one finds in the literature include the atomic, molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, group, population, community, ecosystem, landscape, and biosphere levels.

Explanation:

Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the notion, levels of organization have received little explicit attention in biology or its philosophy. Usually they appear in the background as an implicit conceptual framework that is associated with vague intuitions. Attempts at providing general and broadly applicable definitions of levels of organization have not met wide acceptance. In recent years, several authors have put forward localized and minimalistic accounts of levels, and others have raised doubts about the usefulness of the notion as a whole.

Just helps a lot overall, especially if you are planning to go into a field related to biology.  Hope this helps! :)

Parland’s alligator population has been declining in recent years, primarily because of hunting. Alligators prey heavily on a sp
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

(C) The main predator of these fish is another species of fish on which alligators also prey.

Explanation:

The ecosystems are complex systems, and removing one species of them, always has a chain reaction and affects the population of the other species, be it in a positive or negative manner. In this case, the alligators prey upon fish, multiple different species. The alligators though have been removed from the ecosystem, thus the apex predator exists no more. This has opened up the top predator niche in the food chain in this particular ecosystem. The predatory fish species had no predators of its own, so its population increased, thus it needed more food, and that food was obtained by hunting the other fish species, resulting in a decline in the population of the other species of fish. Only when the carrying capacity is reached in the ecosystem for the predatory fish, the population of the other fish will stop declining.

Which of the following statements about the nuclear envelope is false?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

b) The nuclear envelope is continuous with the Golgi apparatus.

Explanation:

The nuclear envelope is a nuclear membrane composed of two lipid bilayers: inner and outer membrane and perinuclear space between them. Its outer membrane is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum. Nuclear pores that are part of this envelope allow the movement of molecules in and from the nucleus (e.g. mRNA formed during transcription should be transported into cytosol through the pores).

The graph below shows the radioactive decay of a material whose half life is 25 years.
yawa3891 [41]
The half life is the time taken for the amount of a substance to become half of its original value. If we take the initial value to be 30 on the y-axis, the half of 30 is 15. We check the time at which the substance has reduced to 15 atoms and this is about 40 seconds. <span>40 seconds therefore, is your answer.</span>
