4. What advantage do plankton gain by storing lipids within their bodies?

Biology
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option A, It makes them less dense than water, thus aiding in buoyancy

Explanation:

Lipids stored with in the body of planktons make them capable to float in water against the buoyancy force of water in the down ward direction by reducing the overall density of the planktons. Hence, option A is correct

A. Further antibody attack.

B. Phagocytosis

C. Helper T cells

D. B cells.

E. None of the above.

The answer is B. Phagocytises is the engulfment of a particle from the external environment, by a cell, for ingestion. This is especially critical for the function of macrophages, which are immune cells. These macrophages have receptors for the Fc region of the immunoglobulin on their cell membrane surface.

How does the word mutualism relate to the world we live in? (biology)​
Pepsi [2]
Mutualism describes the ecological interaction between two or more species where each species has a net benefit.[1] Mutualism is a common type of ecological interaction. Prominent examples include most vascular plants engaged in mutualistic interactions with mycorrhizae, flowering plants being pollinated by animals, vascular plants being dispersed by animals, and corals with zooxanthellae, among many others. Mutualism can be contrasted with interspecific competition, in which each species experiences reduced fitness, and exploitation, or parasitism, in which one species benefits at the "expense" of the other. Mutualism is often conflated with two other types of ecological phenomena: cooperation and symbiosis. Cooperation refers to increases in fitness through within-species (intraspecific) interactions. Symbiosis involves two species living in proximity and may be mutualistic, parasitic, or commensal, so symbiotic relationships are not always mutualistic.

Mutualism plays a key part in ecology. For example, mutualistic interactions are vital for terrestrial ecosystem function as more than 48% of land plants rely on mycorrhizal relationships with fungi to provide them with inorganic compounds and trace elements. As another example, the estimate of tropical forest trees with seed dispersal mutualisms with animals ranges from 70–90%. In addition, mutualism is thought to have driven the evolution of much of the biological diversity we see, such as flower forms (important for pollination mutualisms) and co-evolution between groups of species.However, mutualism has historically received less attention than other interactions such as predation and parasitism.

How do you know if the cell will shrink or swell?​
AleksandrR [38]
If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, the relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane. ... When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
