Answer:

For example, two animal predators may consume different prey items, so they are less likely to compete with one another, allowing higher total biomass of predators in the system. In the case of plants, all species may utilize the same suite of resources (space, light, water, soil nutrients, etc.)

Which use relies on the property of electrical conductivity?

padilas [110]

Answer:

A. Wires

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity is basically how much electrical current a type of material can carry through it, so in other words it is the rate electric current can pass through it.

As you know, electrical devices rely on electricity (it's in the name) for it to function. Wires are often used in electrical equipment. Wires help connect devices to power sources. They need to be good electrical conductors in order to deliver electricity to the devices and powering it on.

You perform an experiment in which you take 16 pots of strawberry plants and give half of them 1 gm of ammonium nitrate per lite

svetlana [45]

Answer:

homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process whereby living systems maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in environmental conditions. Plants, like every other living organisms also perform this process to keep their internal environment in a stable state.

According to the question, some plants were exposed to ammonium nitrate, which serves as a nutrient, and 16 hours of sunlight needed for photosynthesis to take place. The plants exposed to ammonium nitrate and 16 hours sunlight grew taller because they had access to nutrients needed to bring about the process of photosynthesis, which provides the plant with energy source (Glucose).

The uptake of nutrients like ammonium nitrate by the plants is done in order to maintain a homeostatic internal environment. Without nutrients, which is the purpose of the ammonium nitrate, plants cannot grow. Hence, the plants exposed to ammonium nitrate, take it in to keep their internal environment functioning.

What can scientists accomplish by applying recombinant-DNA technology?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

- production of vaccine for disease prevention

- production of genetically modified crops

Explanation:

Recombinant DNA is a special type of DNA that has been infused with a foreign gene of particular interest.

With recombinant DNA technology, scientists can study different proteins and see how they can be used for therapy in the area of medicine. The technology has been used to produce several vaccine in the prevention of diseases.

In addition, recombinant DNA technology has been useful in agriculture to produce genetically modified crops with desired traits such as resistance to pests/diseases and high yields.

Match the bacterial shape with its description

slega [8]

Answer:(A) a cylindrical shaped bacteria exhibiting a variety of rod shapes.- pleomorphic.

B) A bend, or 'coma shapped' rod - Vibrio.

C) Long, curved, flexible rod - spirochete.

D) Long, curved rod - Spirillum.

E) A small, cylindrical shaped bacteria with a cocci appearance - coccobacillus.

F) Cylindrical shape - Rods.

G) Round shape - Coccus.

Explanation:

A). A pleomorphic bacteria is the one which is capable of changing it's shape, mode of nutrition and reproduction.

B). Vibrio is the genus of gram-negative bacteria. It posses a curved comma shape. This is responsible for foodborne infections.

C). Spirochete is a helical, rod shaped bacteria. It posses flexible cell wall and a mechanism that helps in motility.

D). Sprillium is a gram-negative bacteria. It has a rigid spiral structure. It has a long curved rod. It is found in the stagnant water and can also be responsible for causing water borne diseases.

E). Coccobacillus is a bacteria which has shape which is in between cocci and rod. These are very short rods which are mistakenly consider as cocci.

F). A bacillus or bacilliform bacteria is a rod shaped bacteria which can be found in different taxonomic groups of bacteria. These have cylindrical shape.

G) A coccus is the shape of the bacteria which can be consider as either spherical, ovoid or round in shape.
