Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in the transfer of heat.

This idea inspired Darwin to formulate the idea of "the survival of the fittest".

Charles Lyell and James Hutton:

Charles Lyell and James Hutton were famous geologists who greatly influenced Darwin with their theories about the beginning and evolution of the Earth. Charles Lyell proposed that the present state of the Earth was a result of small, gradual changes. James Hutton theorized that the processes that too place at the beginning of the Earth were still in progress.

maria [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. The virus can infect the host.

Explanation:

  • As the host and the virus both remain in the agar plate, the virus is capable of infecting the host cells.
  • The host cell multiplies and grows by utilising the nutrient from the agar medium.
  • After the virus particles infect the host, they replicate inside the host and produce new progeny virions which get released out of the host cell by killing it.
  • The newly formed virions infect other host cells and the process continues.
  • The killing of the host cells by the viruses result in the generation of clear zones on the agar plate which is also known as the zone of exclusion.
  • In the zone of exclusion region, the host cells have been killed by the viruses.

How does energy move through your ecosystem? think about the producers (plants) and how energy moves from producers to other org
GrogVix [38]
The Sun provides energy for the plants (producers) to grow. Herbivores (primary consumers) then eat the producers for energy. Any animals that eat the herbivores are considered secondary consumers. As this cycle continues, energy is lost to the environment as heat.
