4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - texture and composition.

Explanation:

The classification of the three types of rocks as igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks is primarily based upon the components and the texture. The sizes and shapes of grains of the mineral and other components and how they interact are present are known as texture.

Igneous rocks - melted rock deep inside the Earth.

Sedimentary rocks - layers of sand, silt, dead plants, and decomposed organism and their skeletons.

Metamorphic rocks - changed by heat and pressure underground

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In such an isolated ecosystem, there is usually an autotroph species that coverts the abiotic elements in the environment to biotic elements. In  a hydrothermal vent, it is likely that there are some chemoautotrophic bacteria that covert the sulfur and other chemicals in the water into organic molecules. This energy is then transferred up the food web in the closed ecosystem.  In such an ecosystem, even the waste product of one life form may be utilized by another species.

erastovalidia [21]
<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Natural selection as proposed by Darwin is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit

Causes of natural selection include: Genetic drift, mutation(changes allelic frequency) and sexual selection

In the given example, condition necessary for natural selection to occur on the mouse population is traits that affect the survival of the mice vary among individual mice, in this condition superior genotype will get the opportunity to reproduce and inferior genotype does not get opportunity to reproduce thus their genotype in population does not increase rapidly and hence they become eliminated leading to genetic drift

Cell walls are impermeable to transport of most materials required for bacterial nutrition.
mezya [45]

The given statement is False.

The bacterial cells walls are composed of peptidoglycan, also known as murein. It comprises polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides, involving D-amino acids. The bacterial cell walls are distinct from cell walls of fungi and plants that are made up of chitin and cellulose, respectively.

The cell walls in bacteria allow small molecules to pass through them freely, however, do not permit large molecules to pass through them, in this manner, it function as a coarse filter.

The main function of the cells wall is to sustain the shape of the cell and inhibit the cell from bursting due to osmotic pressure. The cell wall allows the components to pass, which are essential for bacterial nutrition.
