Which statement BEST explains why large predators, such as lions and leopards, are common in savanna grasslands, but are mostly

absent from desert ecosystems?
A.There is not enough biomass at lower levels of the food chain in deserts for large predators to be supported.
B.Biomass is passed through the food chain at a much higher rate of efficiency in grasslands, allowing large predators to exist.
C.There are no scavengers in deserts, but many in savannas, and this allows materials to cycle fast enough to support predators.
D.The 10% rule states that predators must make up 10% of the animals in ecosystems with a lot of biomass, like savanna ecosystems.

Which hypothesis helps to explain why all organisms share the same genetic code?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

There are two possible answers: Deep-sea vents provided the energy needed for the first organic compounds to form OR self-replicating RNA molecules passed on genetic information.

Explanation:

The reason for the first answer is due to the hypothesis that indicates that life (organic molecules) arose from inorganic molecules synthesized from the amino acids in those energy vents. This is called the metabolism first hypothesis. The Miller-Urey Experiment provided evidence that organisms could rise from inorganic molecules (they simulated under the conditions you would see on early Earth). The second hypothesis is the RNA World hypothesis (second answer) which suggests that the formation of RNA that could replicate (possible due to mutation or evolution), led to life that could preserve its genetic integrity through replication (greater stability to the organism) and create lipid bi-layer membranes/other organelles. Some scientists support the Metabolism First Hypothesis, while others are skeptical (this goes for the RNA World Hypothesis as well). However, the RNA World Hypothesis is for more reasonable in the fact that its main point is the fact that RNA molecules were able to replicate and maintain genetic stability despite early Earth conditions. Although either hypothesis could explain why all organisms share the same genetic code, the RNA World Hypothesis better explains the universality of DNA/RNA of genes that we see today.

Why is oxygen important for all body cells?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Our body cells require oxygen to release energy.

Explanation:

The oxygen that we take in during respiration is used to break down the food we eat to release energy from it. When we breathe in oxygen, it diffuses into blood from the lung, where it is transported by red blood cells to the entire body to be used to produce energy.
