2. The answer is; facultative anaerobes. Facultative means optionally while obligate means obligatory. Therefore obligate anaerobes only thrive in the presence of oxygen while obligate anaerobes thrive in the absence of oxygen. Examples of facultative anaerobes are Staphylococci and Escherichia bacterias


3. The answer is; near the surfaces of lakes and streams. Photoautotrophs are organisms that synthesize biomolecules and harness their energy from light. They use the process of photosynthesis to capture the light photons. The organism will be found on the surface of lakes and stream where sunlight can reach and to depths that light can penetrate.


4. The answer is; conjugation.  In bacteria, this process occurs through a structure called pili that forms in the ‘male’ bacteria. It is through the exchange of the genetic material that bacteria confer traits such as drug resistance to other bacteria. It’s a horizontal method of gene transfer.


5. The answer is; Organisms would not be able to get nutrients they need to make proteins. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria fix nitrogen in the soil. This means that they convert the abiotic form of nitrogen from the atmosphere to organic molecules such as ammonia. Ammonia is absorbed by organisms such as plants and becomes a constituent of amino acids that make up proteins.

Why is reabsorption important
harina [27]
<span>The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood, and other things like water, glucose, amino acids, some minerals/vitamins, and other small molecules can also get filtered out. Reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys allows the body to maintain a fluid balance (drink a lot and you pee more cause you have an excess of water). As for the other aforementioned things, they're often needed for metabolic processes (such as certain enzyme functions) so loosing it to waste decreases efficiency and efficacy of other bodily processes. </span>

How do trees act as carbon sinks?
Romashka [77]


The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.

State three examples of human activities that could endanger botana curus
statuscvo [17]

Botana curus is a plant that produces curus which is a substance that is used to cure different kind of cancer.

This is an endangered species that cannot be grown in the laboratory. The ability to produce curus in the laboratory is not feasible.

The human activities that could have endangered botana curus is:

Pollution: It lead to slow down the rate of growth of the plant.

Overexploitation: The over use of plant for its medicinal purpose.

Habitat: The natural habitat of the plant has been changed due to various human activities.
