These are few examples of ecosystem services. These are conditions or processes of natural systems that directly or indirectly have a benefit to humans or enhance their social welfare. They include purification of water and air, maintenance of biodiversity, soil and vegetation generation and renewal, seed dispersal, greenhouse gas mitigation among other services.
Answer: False
Explanation:
Protozoans are not the organism that fix nitrogen for the plants. The organism that fix nitrogen to convert it into a form which can be used by plants are known as diazotrophs.
These are bacteria and archae that fix nitrogen gas found in the atmosphere into more usable form such as ammonia.
These organism can grow without any external source of fixed nitrogen. Example: Rhizobia and azospirillium.
Answer:
a. bottleneck effect.
Explanation:
A bottleneck effect occurs when some adverse environmental conditions such as typhoons and famine reduce the population size considerably. The allele frequencies of the population are changed. As the population grows again, the gene pool has different allele frequencies than the original population. During population growth, some harmful alleles may become more abundant resulting in a rare disease such as achromatopsia. Therefore, the given population represents the bottleneck effect.
The answer is the process in which carbon dioxide is used also forms glucose.
Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆. Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight.
