Two students went for a walk in a small pond ecosystem where they observed several interactions. Read their observation below to

find out what they saw. Small fish were found feeding on the green algae. Fish, frogs and snails were harder to find after a family of raccoons came to the pond. Fish and frogs were observed catching insects. As the amount of green algae increased, more insects and snails came to feed on it. A sample of the pond water contained bacteria.

Answer:

<u>a food web</u>

Explanation:

What they saw was a food web, which refers to connections of food chains showing how energy and nutrients are transferred from one organism to the other.

In this example, we observe there are <u>seven</u> organisms (fish, algae, snails, insects, frogs, raccoons + bacteria contained in the pond) in focus here.

The green algae are Producers (because it produces its own food, not dependant on others)

The bacteria act as Decomposers. ( because they process organic waste into meaningful natural nutrients again)

The other organisms are Consumers. (because they are dependant on others for their nutrition).

Water can climb trees. What properties of water help it climb trees​
Novosadov [1.4K]
Cohesion helps plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. This transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. Transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

Arrange the following in the proper sequence in which they occur during a single PCR cycle.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

C. 3, 2, 1

Explanation:

During a single PCR cycle, the very first step is the heat separation of the double stranded DNA. Primer binds only single stranded DNA/RNA because it has complimentary bases which match single strand of DNA/RNA that is why it is necessary to unwind both the strands of DNA by providing temperature.

As soon as the DNA strands have separated by increasing the temperature to ~ 95 °C, in the next step the primer binds the portion of DNA which is complimentary to the bases of the primer. In order for primer to bind DNA, the temperature is lowered to ~ 72 °C and the process is called as annealing.

Once primer has bound to the DNA, the next step is polymerization i.e. nucleotides which are the monomer units of DNA are added one by one with the help of enzyme named as Taq polymerase. This is how the strand extends ahead of primer and exact copies of the given DNA are produced.

Note: PCR may be considered as in vitro DNA synthesis or replication.

Does the thirst mechanism always underestimates fluid loss during work in the heat and after work ends?
V125BC [204]
YES.
The thirst mechanism always underestimates fluid loss during work, in the heat and after work ends. Therefore you should take frequent drinks through out the work period. If you drink 250mililitres every 15 minutes, you can replace one litre per hour. if sweat rate is higher you will find it extremely difficult to keep up with fluid needs. During prolonged periods of work in the heat, weight loss exceeds 2 percent therefore the person should rehydrate before returning to work.

kondor19780726 [428]

This is referred to as: spontaneous recovery

Spontaneous recovery is a theory of learning and memory which involves unexpected and recurrence of a conditioned response after a period of reduced response or delay. Spontaneous recovery is associated with classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Extinction will happen quickly after a spontaneous recovery, if the conditioned and unconditioned stimulus is not connected.
