Answer:

C. Producers would have less material for making food.

Explanation:

An ecosystem can be defined as the natural living habitats of both living and non-living organisms, in which they interact with one another. Essential services such as plant pollination, water purification, nutrient cycling etc that are being provided by the ecosystem are really very vital, important and useful for the sustenance of life, both for humans and enhances social welfare.

A list of the types of organisms in an eco pyramid are;

I. Producers: these are autotrophs or self-feeders such as plants.

II. Primary consumers: these are herbivores that typically feed on plants such as a goat or deer.

III. Secondary consumers: these consists of carnivores that typically feed or eat flesh such as lion, tiger, cheetah, etc.

IV. Tertiary consumers: these are higher predators such as humans that aren't normally fed on by other organisms in the ecosystem.

In Biology, producers are the living organisms that are capable of manufacturing their own food and as such can provide energy or food for the other living organisms (consumers) in a food chain. Thus, producers are mainly known as the foundation of a food chain and are at the top.

A producer gets energy from the sun and converts it into food. The cells found in producers are capable of converting the energy received directly from the sun into food through a process generally referred to as photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide from the air, water from the soil, minerals and energy from the sun into organic nutrients.

Hence, if the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide were decreased, the most direct effect on the ecosystem is that producers would have less material for making food.

Answer:

  • The organism previously used 15N for replication so all the DNA molecules were of 15N15N type. Then the organism is shifted to a medium where only 14N is available for replication.
  • According to semi conservative mode of replication, a newly synthesised DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one parental strand. So after the first round of replication, All the 15N strands will synthesise new DNA strands using 14N resulting into intermediate 15N14N DNA molecules. Hence, only one band would be observed (15N14N) above the original 15N15N band since 15N14N has lighter isotope too so it will be lighter than 15N15N molecules and will lie above it.
  • After second round of replication, 15N strand from 15N14N would synthesise another 14N strand. 14N strand from 15N14N molecules will also synthesise another 14N strand. So now, 50% of the DNA molecules will be of 15N14N intermediate type and 50% of them will be of 14N14N type.Two bands will be observed above the original 15N15N band. One band of 15N14N molecules will be right above it and other band of 14N14N molecules will be even higher because it is the lightest band since it has only the lighter isotope of nitrogen.
