Dimas [21]3 years ago

Amoeba: Also ameba. A single-celled (protozoan) organism that constantly changes shape. The word "ameba" is from the Greek "amoibe" meaning "change." Ameba can infect the bowels to cause diarrhea and the liver to cause abscess formation. Here is more information. The definition of an amoeba is a one-celled organism, common in water and soil, possessing no set cell organs, structure, or defining shape. An example of an amoeba is an invisible organism called Entamueba histolytica which is found in tropical areas that are unclean, and causes the deadly disease dysentery. Hope this helps!

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - O and 6.9; 7.1 and 14

Explanation:

A measuring scale that tells about the acidity or basicity or alkaline nature of a particular object or solution is possible with the help of a pH scale that measures how acidic or basic a solution or object is.

It ranges between 0 to 14. pH less than 7 or ranging from 0.0 to 6.9 is acidic and more than 7 or from 7.1 to 14.0 is basic or alkaline in nature. A measure of the relative amount of H+ ion and OH- ions in water is pH.

There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c
Marina86 [1]

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.  

In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.  

The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.  

The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age  whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.

The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.

Do prokaryotic organisms carry out<br> cellular respiration? If so, how?
Stella [2.4K]

Hi

Do prokaryotic organisms carry out  cellular respiration? If so, how?

The answer is yes as well as no, because some prokaryotes like Archeae and some bacteria donot use cellular respiration because they are anaerobic. The Archaea are also known as Methanogens that reduce Carbon di oxide from environment to Methane that is eventually oxidized to NADH (that is used as an energy source).

However, there are some bacteria that use cellular respiration as a source for the energy production.Cellular respiration is a process which occurs in the cells of higher living organisms as well as in cells of some small organisms like Bacteria. During process of cellular respiration in bacteria, glucose is broken down with the help of oxygen into water and Carbon di oxide. In the process of cellular respiration, bacteria just like humans goes through three stepsi.e Glycolysis, Kreb cycle and Electron transport chain that ultimately lead to the production of ATP (energy).

Hope it helps!
