Answer:
Mechanical Isolation
A snail with a flat disc-like shell
will not be able to mate with a
snail having a conical shell.
The reproductive organs of
male bush babies do not
match with the reproductive
organs of females of other
bush baby species
Behavioral Isolation
The mating call of a cricket is not
recognized by a cricket of other
species.
The signals sent by a male firefly
are not recognized by the female
firefly of other species.
Explanation:
Mechanical isolation occurs in the scenario where two organisms are willing to mate but cannot do so due to the physical challenges. As in the case of snail a flat disk and a conical disk snail are willing to mate but physical barriers restrict them in doing so.
The same case is with the male and female bush babies where the difference in reproductive organs does not allow them to mate.
Behavioral isolation represents a scenario where two organisms are unaware of mating rituals, season, pattern or signals of each other and hence cannot mate.
For example – male and female cricket do not recognize the mating call of each other. Likewise male and female firefly is also not able to understand each other’s mating signal.
<u>Answer: </u>
<h2>
Lipids
</h2>
<u>
Explanation:
</u>
Lipids are the macro-molecules used to store energy in our body. They have the ability to store energy more efficiently and are called long-term energy storage.
They can store twice as much energy as other molecules. They contain nine Kcal of energy per gram a compared to proteins and carbohydrates which only produce four kcal per gram. They are present in our body in the form of fat and are insoluble in water.
<u>ANSWER:</u>
When a supergiant runs out of fuel, the object formed is either a black hole or a neutron star.
<u>EXPLANATION:</u>
- Supergiant are very large stars in the galaxy that end their lives very quickly.
- When a supergiant star loses its fuel, it blows itself by a supernove explosion.
- When supernove explosion happens, the supernova outshines other stars in the galaxy and then slowly faded away leaving a dense object called black hole or neutron star.
- This black hole or neutron star is surrounded by a mass of very hot gas and the elements of the supergiant star get scattered into the space.
Answer: D). Primary species have large numbers of offsprings, and climax communities contain species that have small numbers of offsprings.
An ecological succession is a process of gradual changes occurs in a biological community with respect to changes in the non-living abiotic factors (water, air and sunlight) and with respect to time until the ecosystem attains stability. Primary or pioneer species are the species which invade the previously barren and primitive landmass for their survival. These species make the environment suitable for the growth of other species. These grow and develop in the initial stages of succession. These species are simple organisms which reproduce asexually and produces large number of offsprings. Examples are lichen and moss. Lichen grows on the surface of rocks and acids released by them causes withering of rocks into soil which facilitate the growth of mosses and other plants. Climax community develops in an ecosystem after replacing many previously inhabiting species. Climax community develops in the end of the ecological succession. It contains species which are highly complex and uses sexual reproduction for the production of offsprings which are less in number as compared to those produced by pioneer species by asexual reproduction.
