Give an example of how a biome is an open system from the point of view of the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphe
Karolina [17]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the biome is in fact an open system due to the interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.

<h3>What is the biome?</h3>
  • The biome is the collection of air, soil, water, and all the organisms that reside within these ecosystems.
  • In order to describe an open system, we say that the system must have external interactions.
  • A biome is an open system because it has both internal and external interactions, such as with asteroids in space.
  • The internal interactions include the ones between the<em><u> biosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere.</u></em>
  • A prime example is the movement of water through each of the spheres.

Therefore, since each part of the biome interacts with each other as well as with external sources such as space, we can confirm that it complies with the definition of an open system.

Please answer 5&amp;6. Thank you.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

5. The correct answer would be an option A. ova

Note: I assume that all the samples are of human origin.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) content of somatic cells of humans consists of 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of chromosomes. Gametes (sperm or ova) are haploid cells produced by the process of meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes found in parent cell. Hence, they contain 23 chromosomes.

6. The correct answer would be an option J.

Sperm formation or spermatogenesis is the process by which spermatozoa (haploid gamete) is produced from germ cell with the help of meiotic division.

Meiosis results in the formation of four haploid (n) cells from single diploid (2n) parent cell. Here, 2n is given as 8 so, n would be equal to 4.

Meiosis I results in the formation of two secondary spermatocyte cells (both haploid or 4 chromosomes in this case) from single primary spermatocyte (diploid or 8 chromosome in this case).

Both the secondary spermatocytes undergo meiosis II to produce 4 spermatids (each haploid or 4 chromosome in this case). Spermatids differentiate and mature into spermatozoa.
