On a hike along the desert slope of the sierra nevada mountains in california, you notice that there is an abundance of pinyon p

ine and juniper trees. we would identify these two plants as: ecological dominants. mutualistic species. competitors. symbiotic species.

Answer:

ecological dominants

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of same and different species are usually found. However, some organisms appear too commonly than others in that particular ecosystem. These commonly observed organisms (plants and animals) due to their large numbers are called DOMINANT species. An ecological dominant species is that which numerically outshines its competitors in an ecosystem.

A species may be dominant because it is better adapted to certain processes than Its competitors e.g. getting resources, disease resistance etc. or even deters its competitors. Hence, they appear large in number. This is the case of the abundance of pinyon pine and juniper trees along the desert slope of the sierra nevada mountains in california. In that ecosystem, these two plants dominate, hence, will be referred to as ecological dominants.

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

The circulatory system is also known as the cardiovascular system or the vascular system, which allows blood to flow from cells in the body continually oxygenates the skin and tissue. It will take blood and oxygen from certain tissue to the tissue and veins, but deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the tissues.

1. What is the Photosynthesis EQUATION? What is being consumed and what is produced?
Alla [95]
1. 6CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 02

2. The idea of photosynthesis or light dependent reactions is to convert solar/light energy into chemical energy by the form of ATP and NADPH. CO2 and Water are consumed and react to release Glucose and 02. Approximately 36-38 ATP produced.

3. Water is the source of hydrogen atoms in the glucose (sugar) created by the photosynthesis reaction.

4 .
Step 1) The light absorbed by chlorophyll causes a transfer of electrons and H+ from H20 molecules already present. This causes the H20 to split into molecular 0xygen (02) and a H+ ion.

Step 2.) The O2 is released (we breathe it) and the H+ bonds to NADP+ creating NADPH

Step 3) ATP is formed through photophosphorylation. (ADP gets a phosphate group added to it creating ATP)

Step 4.) The NADPH and the ATP created here go on to fuel the reactions in the second part of photosynthesis - The Calvin Cycle

5. The Calvin cycle is a metabolic process that uses the carbon from carbon dioxide, along with energy in the form of ATP, to produce sugar.
A G3P molecule contains three fixed carbon atoms, so it takes two G3Ps to build a six-carbon glucose molecule. It would take six turns of the cycle.

6. To help synthesize carbohydrates for energy

7. In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADP +, respectively

The amazon rain forest is home tp huge numbers and wide varieties of plants. how does this benefit us
nika2105 [10]
Rain forests are huge carbon sinks, as plants and trees actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in biomass. This is a vital ecosystem service for counteracting climate change. Forests regulate the climate, as evapotranspiration from forests influence precipitation patterns and the temperature. Many as yet underdiscovered plants may be of benefit to us as sources of useful products or drugs. Rain forests act as a refuge for vulnerable plant species, thereby protecting them from human over-exploitation and saving biodiversity for future human generations.
