The correct option is A. Resource partitioning refers to a situation in which living organisms live together in the same environment in such a way that it is easy for them to co-exist because they are not using the same resources. In the question given above, it will be easy for the two species of squirrels to co-exist because although both are feeding on acorns, they are not feeding on acorns from the same location; one feed on the ground, the other feed on the trees.
Answer:
1. Obtaining energy
2. responding to a stimulus
3. reproduction
4. excretion
Explanation:
1. All living organisms require energy for their life processes. This energy is derived from food. The food we eat contains biomolecules that store energy. The energy stored by these food molecules is released by a process called RESPIRATION. Image 1 shows a cat trying to obtain energy by feeding. The food will eventually be broken down to release energy.
2. Stimulus is any thing (whether internal or external) that causes a change in an organism. In image 2, a man is responding to a sudden change in his back, which is pain.
3. Reproduction is a characteristics of living organisms that involves the production of young ones. Image 3 depicts two cells undergoing fertilization (fusion of nuclei) to produce a new cell. In turn, the cell divides again to form two gametes. The cycle continues like that.
4. Excretion is the removal of waste products from a cell. According to Image 4, the cell allows a food particle in and releases the waste contents out of the cell.
Answer: interphase: 4,5,6,8,11,12,13,14,16,19,20,22
prophase 2,15,21
metaphase 1,10,17
Anaphase 7,18
telophase none
Cytokinesis: 3,9
Explanation:
Hi!
Energy will flow through an ecosystem in one <em>direction, </em>from the sun or inorganic compounds to<em> autotrophs </em>and then to various <em>heterotrophs. </em>
The energy flow in an area will be delivering light energy to <em>autotrophs</em>, which make their food from the energy the sun produces.
The energy flow also delivers energy via inorganic compounds to <em>heterotrophs</em>, which do not make their own food.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
Answer:
Cellular membranes or plasma membranes has many functions. Some of these include regulation of cellular transport, and responding to cellular signals or hormones.
<h2>Cellular Transport</h2>
The plasma membrane is made up of the <u>phospholipid bilayer with embedded transmembrane proteins</u>. This makes the cell membrane <u>semi-permeable</u>. Movements of substances depend on the composition of the molecules e.g. glucose and amino acids, as needed by the pancreatic cells. These are larger and uncharged molecules and can't pass freely through the membrane so they utilize the transmembrane proteins via attaching to carrier proteins. This is called <em>passive transport</em>. On the other hand, in <em>active transport</em>, <u>ATP is used</u> to transfer molecules, like Hydrogen, from a low to high electrochemical gradient.
Other kinds of cellular transport are:
- Osmosis and diffusion
- Endocytosis
- Exocytosis
<h2>Cellular Signalling</h2>
The cell membrane is able to signal other neighboring cells by utilizing complex proteins. These proteins may take form as receptors or markers.
<h3>Membrane Receptors</h3>
They act as receivers of extracellular signals and spark intracellular processes. These receive signals from hormones, growth factors, etc.
<h3>
Membrane Markers </h3>
These allow the cells to identify each other and respond if this cell is needs further development as in organ development, or a foreign body to the system.
