Correct answer: D). Contradicted the accepted belief in spontaneous generation
Rudolf Virchow's and Louis Pasteur's contradicted the theory of spontaneous generation, which state that living organism originates from non-living matter.
According to this theory, it was believed that dust creates fleas, maggot arises from the rotten meat, wheat and bread left in the dark corner produces mice.
Louis Pasteur was the first scientist to prove that cells originate from the pre-existing cells.
Rudolf Virchow proposed that Omnis cellula e cellula, which means each cell comes from another cell.
Parasites will grab on the the host to generate more parasites, and when the cell bursts, the parasites will shoot out in every direction to grab more prey.
No, lipids do not store genetic information; however, DNA does.
Answer: A BIOME is an area of the planet that shaves similar conditions of climate, fauna (animal life), flora (plant life) and geography . The correct option is 1.
Explanation:
BIOME is defined as large natural terrestrial ecosystems which shares similar conditions of climate and consists of plants and animals that equally have common characteristics with their environment. The word terrestrial is used because plants form the bulk of the community in an ecosystem. The type of vegetation in a biome is largely determined by climatic factors, especially rainfall and temperature. Regions throughout the world which have similar climates have similar biomes. This causes zones of different biomes to occur from the equator to the Arctic and to the Antarctic. For example,
--> in equatorial and tropical areas where temperature is high all the year round tropical forests occur;
--> in temperate regions coniferous and deciduous forests occur;
--> while treeless plains (tundra) are found in the cold arctic regions.
Climates also changes with height above the sea level.
Answer:
It can significantly alter the homeostasis of the ecosystem
Explanation:
The trophic level is the position that occupies a given organism/ population/species in the food web. In a food web, the trophic levels are organized into a first category (formed by primary producers, e.g., plants), a second level (primary consumers, e.g., herbivores), and subsequent categories (predators, e.g., carnivores). The abrupt change in the number of organisms belonging to the same trophic level generally has a negative effect on the ecosystem by modifying the trophic structure of communities. For example, decreasing the number of producers will produce a decrease in the number of primary consumers, thereby altering the homeostasis (equilibrium) of the entire ecosystem. On some occasions, it may eventually lead to the extinction of populations and species.
