The correct answer is all of these.
Matter and energy on Earth are never destroyed or created out of nothing, but just transferred or converted to another form.
The inorganic matter is transferred to the living things from the physical environment by many biological processes like photosynthesis ( CO2), nitrogen fixation, absorption of the minerals by plant roots and many more.
Matter can then be transferred between different organisms through the food chain.
Eventually, the matter will return to the physical environment when organisms decompose and the cycle will start again.
Answer/Explanation:
Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.
A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.
The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species
The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours
The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.
Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.
Answer:
D.) both a and c
Explanation:
Past observations made early in history as well as telescopes and space probes are very important in studying our universe and galaxies.
- Space probes are increasingly gaining momentum as technological and scientific advancements are being made.
- Telescopes are used to see or picture objects that are very far away in space.
- Also, understanding the past records and historical data is essential for the study of the universe.
Microscopes are not used in galactic studies. They are only used to study the world of micro-organisms.
