How does integrated multi-trophic agriculture (IMTA) work?

I believe the question is referring to multi-trophic aquculture (not agriculture) as this is more well known.

The term trophic refers to food/nutritution and in biological systems "trophic levels" are usually associated with different stages in a food chain.

Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) therefore, defines a form of aquaculture (an artificial human created process) that has multiple stages of the food chain optimised as they might be in nature. What this usually means is that the waste products from one stage feed into another stage as inputs, in the way that foodwebs work in reality. This increases efficiency.

For example, fish and shrimp might be mixed with seaweed and shellfish which each fill a niche in the food web to produce a more stable artificial ecosystem.

The phase of cell division in which chromatin condenses into chromosomes is ____ A. anaphase B. metaphase C. prophase D. telopha

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

C (Prophase)

Explanation:

All cells undergo division in order to produce more daughter cells. Cell division occurs immediately after the interphase, which is a resting and preparatory phase for mitosis or cell division. Prior to cell division, the DNA is found to be coiled around histone proteins to form a structure called CHROMATIN. The process of cell division occurs in four phases; Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

In the Prophase stage, which is the first stage of mitosis, this Chromatin begins to condense or becomes compact by undergoing further coiling into a visible X-shaped structure called CHROMOSOME. This shape of the chromosome is as a result of the replication into sister chromatids that occurred in the S-phase of interphase.

Alfred Kinsey conducted research to determine what percentage of the population was heterosexual and what percentage was homosex

kow [346]

Answer:

B. He believed that sexuality is a continuum and wanted to classify people more precisely

Explanation:

Kinsey quantified in his studies heterosexuality and homosexuality on a continuous scale from 0 to 6, specified in heterosexual and homosexual experience and reactivity in each story. 0 on this scale is assigned to individuals with exclusively heterosexual sexual contacts and experiences and 6 to exclusively homosexual individuals.

He proposed a model according to which there are many intermediate degrees between heterosexuality and homosexuality. This gradualness was embodied in what is now known as the Kinsey scale.
