Why are saprotrophs so important to a marine food web?

Answer:

They break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients.  

Explanation:

Saprophytes are the living organisms that feed upon dead organisms such as plants, animals, and their decaying products. They contribute to the food web because they help in clearing up the biological waste from the environment and make the resources after degradation available to the plants as soil nutrients. Therefore, helps in nutrient recycling in an ecosystem.

Answer:

They break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients. They directly help to maintain the population sizes of different predators. They primarily eliminate toxins from the water that can harm phytoplankton.

Record the stages of meiosis in eukaryotic cells realizing that there are two cell divisions involved, each having their particu
Leya [2.2K]
1.1
Meiosis I
The first meiotic division: diploid → haploid
    Prophase I: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, homologous chromosomes join and occurs crossing over.
    Metaphase-I: the homologous chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers from the centrosomes connect to the chromosomes.
    Anaphase -I: Spindle fibers contract and split the homologous chromosomes, moving them to opposite poles of the cell.
    Telophase -I: Chromosomes decondense; cell divides to form two haploid cells.

1.2 Meiosis II
The second division: separates sister chromatids (these chromatids may not be identical due to crossing over in prophase I)

     Prophase II: Chromosomes condense, nuclear membrane dissolves, centrosomes move to opposite poles (perpendicular to before)
    Metaphase-II:  the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. Spindle fibers from the centrosomes connect to the chromosomes (at the centromere)
    Anaphase-II: Spindle fibers contract and split the sister chromatids, and moves them to opposite poles of the cell.
    Telophase-II: Chromosomes decondense,cells divides again to form another 2 haploid daughter cells. Final: 4 new cells.


2. The differences:
Mitosis:
- has 1 division per cycle
- one cell produces 2 new cells
- the genetic information in the mother-cell and the daughter-cells are the same. ( the number of chromosomes is also the same)
- it occurs in somatic cells
Meiosis:
- two divisions per cycle
- one cell when divides produces 4 new cells
- the new cells have different genetic information. mixes the genetic material from the parent cells
- the number of chromosomes of the daughter cells is half of the mother's.

3. Prokaryotic organisms don't divide through mitosis, they use a different process called binary fission. Only eukaryotic organisms, or those whose cells have a defined nuclei, undergo mitosis. Bacteria, for example, are prokaryotic organisms that use binary fission.

4.
 It can't occur. Cross over is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes.  That will result in recombinant chromosomes during sexual reproduction. It can't occur on different chromosomes because they don't code for the same genes.

5. There are a lot of different theories about that, but it's mostly believed that meiosis must evolve before sexual reproduction. That's because The cell replicates their information first and then divides. Plus the cell does that even though it didn't recombine DNA with another organism (sexual reproduction).

Sharks and whales look similar, but they’re different types of animals. Whales are mammals, while sharks are fish. Which body pa
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Gills

Explanation:

Sharks are fishes and thus have gills through which they absorb oxygen from the water.

On the other hand,  Whales being mammals use lungs to breathe. They can’t directly obtain oxygen from water.

What two commandments from god can we obey by a biblical approach to science
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Here are some. I discovered that the clean and unclean food and hygiene laws found in the Book of Leviticus have been based all this time on the God of Abraham's working knowledge of the germ theory of disease and the modern human body and other advanced fields of science unknown to mankind at that time and some fields of science still unknown to mankind today. These laws and instructions still apply to modern times for all humans to follow to help keep our bodies healthy and disease free until we grow old and die of old age.

Hope It Helps:)
