Question 23 (6 points)

Biology
1 answer:
Stels [109]2 years ago
8 0

Answer: 1. Sea urchins and sea otters

2. They are prey for carnivores.

3. Sea otters, star fish

Explanation:

Sea urchins and sea otters are carnivores as they eat on the flesh of starfish and sea urchins respectively.

Starfish feed on the kelp forests which are the producers in the food chain and the starfish is the primary consumer and prey for sea urchins.  So, starfish and kelp forests are the prey in the marine ecosystem.

Keystone species is the one which controls the population of other inferior species in an ecosystem. Here, sea otters consume sea urchins so the population of sea urchins remained in control Starfish controls the population of kelp forest.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

There are a total of <u>71,551 employees</u> in the company.

Explanation:

Let the number of employees in the company be 'x'.

Given:

Number of employees in one country = 24900

As per question:

34.8% of total employees = 24900

⇒ 34.8\%\times x=24900

\frac{34.8}{100}\times x=24900\\\\0.348x=24900\\\\x=\frac{24900}{0.348}\\\\x=71,551.7\approx71,551

So, there are a total of 71,551 employees in the company.

Match the staining techniques with their purpose.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

A Negative stain such as India ink or Congo red-Look for the presence of a capsule.

This stain method is usually used to stain the area around the microorganism.

B The Gram stain-Divide bacteria into two groups based on cell wall structure (thick vs. thin).  

This is type of differential staining used to distinguish organisms based on their staining properties. Gram + and Gram- bacteria stain different because of different cell wall structure.

C The Ziehl-Neelsen Acid-fast stain- Identify bacteria with waxy cell walls such as: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (the cause of TB).  

This is also differential staining method which uses heat and phenol to derive dye into the cells with lipid-rich walls.

D Simple stain with a basic dye-Stain microbes a bright color to make it easier to see them in bright field microscopy.

One dye is used in simple staining in order to determinate the size, shape and arrangement of the cells.

E The Schaeffer-Fulton Endospore stain-Identify Bacillus or Clostridium species, such as the causative agents of anthrax, botulism, tetanus and gangrene.  

This is a special type of staining only used for the bacteria that can form endospores. Bacteria are first treated with heat and then with malachite green, which is very strong stain that can penetrate endospores.

<span>A terminal node is the hypothetical last common ancestral interbreeding population of the taxon labeled at a tip of the cladogram. An internal node is the hypothetical last common ancestral population that speciated (i.e., split) to give rise to two or more daughter taxa, which are thus sister taxon to each other</span>
