Biology

Aleks04 [339]3 years ago

Scientific names follow a specific set of rules. Scientists use a two-name system called a Binomial Naming System. Scientists name animals and plants using the system that describes the genus and species of the organism. The first word is the genus and the second is the species.

Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually. How is this better for them
lukranit [14]

Answer:

C. They can grow to larger populations more quickly

Explanation:

Bacteria are the <u>key entities</u> of <u>biogeochemical cycle</u>s (Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, etc.) on Earth. The strength of these cycles is typically achieved when they can multiply faster in a relatively <u>short time period</u>. If all bacteria on Earth start reproducing via sexual means only, then many of the biogeochemical cycles would take forever, thus <u>generating nutrients at a slower rate</u>. Since higher organisms (e.g. eukaryotes) depend on the abundant supply of nutrients, the overall life on Earth would be compromised to a larger extent in the absence of sufficient nutrients supply. Thus, it is  <u>beneficial for all forms of life that bacteria reproduce mainly via asexual means</u>.

PS: A simple bacterium can produce millions of copies in 24 hours period.

What would happen if rats was eliminated from the environment
erma4kov [3.2K]

Rats account for a decent amount of biomass globally.  They are intermediate predators, eating a lot but also being eaten.  If they went extinct, they would stop eating many insects and seeds / fruits -- the former would gain significantly in population, and the latter would lose some of their pollination.  Both factors would harm the viability of at least some species of plants, by adding to plant eaters (insects) and reducing plant reproduction.  Rats' predators would also suffer if they went extinct.  The primary predators are birds of prey, such as hawks and owls.  However, other animals such as skunks, foxes, weasels, coyotes, and even wolves eat rats.  For predators in marginal environments, the loss of such a food source could drive them out of a habitat area.

Deffense [45]
<span>The concept of indirect observation can be seen in the example of using live video streams in order to observe nesting owls. This is due to the fact that the experimenter is not directly viewing the test subjects, but rather utilizing other means to extract the required data.</span>
