Answer:

Energy flows in a one-way direction i.e. unidirectional flow

Explanation:

Matter and energy both pass through an ecosystem as organisms feed on one another. However, as rightly emphasized in this question, matter in form of elements such as water, nitrogen, phosphorus etc. moves in different directions and is recycled within and between ecosystems through closed loops called biogeochemical cycles.

Contrarily to how matter is recycled in an ecosystem i.e. within and between, ENERGY only flows in one direction. Energy enters an ecosystem in form of light (sun) and is passed down from one trophic level to another starting from the producers. This unidirectional pattern of energy flow differentiates energy flow from matter recycling.

Chloe’s mother wants to have another child. However, she is concerned that a second child might also have CF, so she encourages
atroni [7]
CF is a recessive type of disorder which means that both parents must carry the gene in order for the child to inherit the disease. If the child only inherits 1 copy of the affected gene, then the child becomes a carrier. Carriers do not manifests symptoms of the disease but they can pass the disease to their children.
With both parents as carriers, they will have the following chances: 50% carrier children, 25% affected child, and 25% normal child.

Members of the Deinococcus genus present an interesting conundrum to scientists who try to classify them as either gram-positive
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacteria can be classified traditionally into two broad categories according to their cell wall, which are Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negitive bacteria.

Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that produce a positive result when Gram stain test is performed. It takes up the crystal violet stain of the test, and then show a purple-coloured appearance when seen through an optical microscope. This is as a result of the thick "peptidoglycan" layer in the bacterial cell wall which retains the stain used in the cell after washing it away from the rest of the sample.

Gram-negative bacteria after the decolorization don't retain the violet stain,the outer membrane of gram-negative cells is degraded by the alcohol.The peptidoglycan layer is positioned and between the membrane and a bacterial outer membrane, causing them to take up the counterstain and made appear red or pink.

Therefore, Deinococcus is one genus of the bacterial phylum that have resistant to environmental hazards. They posses thick cell walls that give them Gram-positive stains, but they also posess second membrane that made them them closer in structure to Gram-negative bacteria, which present an interesting conundrum to scientists who try to classify them as either gram-positive or gram-negative.

What is the relationship between working distance and field of view​
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

yeah

Explanation:

Field Of View (FOV): The Viewable area of the object under inspection. In other words, this is the portion of the object that fills the camera's sensor. Working Distance (WD): The distance from the front of the lens to the object under inspection. Resolution: The minimum feature size of the object under inspection.

What is the evolution of a dog
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Dogs were probably domesticated by accident, when wolves began trailing ancient hunter-gatherers to snack on their garbage. Docile wolves may have been slipped extra food scraps, the theory goes, so they survived better, and passed on their genes. Eventually, these friendly wolves evolved into dogs
