Answer: the rabbit
Explanation:
In ecology, biomass refers to the mass of organisms living within a specific region at a time. Biomass is measured and usually described as:
- the total mass of the organisms within a community
- the average masses per unit area
Typically, more numerous organisms, such as producers, have a higher average biomass. This may include plants, animals or microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In terrestrial environments, biomass is distributed in pyramid form; the carnivorous hawk preys on rabbits and birds, which are nearer to the base of the pyramid- each predator population would have a lower biomass than its prey.
The birds weigh 100 grams while the rabbit weighs 150 grams.The rabbit has a higher total mass
Answer:
C, a decrease in metabolic activity
Explanation:
In times of drought, there would be a reduction in the metabolic activity of an organism.
- Most organisms found in very dry climates have adaptation to accommodate a period of drought.
- Water is essential for the metabolic processes in an organism.
- A deficiency of water will reduce these life activities.
- The organism can become inactive as a result of this.
<u>Answer:-</u> <em>Option C </em>- evidence that microorganisms cannot grow in boiled broth when new organisms were not allowed to enter.
<u>Explanation:-</u>
- <em>Theory of spontaneous generation</em> stated that the living organisms can be created from non living matter. However, this theory was disapproved and replaced by the <em>cell theory</em> which stated that all living organisms are created from cells and new cells arise from pre-existing cells.
- There were several experiments conducted by various scientists to disapprove the theory of spontaneous generation however, the experiment that was most successful to do so was the one conducted by <em>Louis Pasteur</em> in 1859.
- <em><u>Description of the experiment:-</u></em>
-In his experiment, Pasteur boiled a meat broth in a flask (it was known that boiling the broth kills the micro organisms) and then heated the neck of the flask to bend into a S- shape.
The purpose of the S shaped neck was to allow the air to enter into the flask but not the micro-organisms as the micro organisms will settle by gravity in the neck and not reach into the flask.
<em>observations of the experiment</em> :-
1. Pasteur observed that even though the air entered the flask no micro organisms were growing in the flask.
2. Further,when he tilted the flask so that the broth came in contact with the part of the neck where the air borne microorganisms could have settled he was able to observe microbial growth in the flask.
These observations laid the theory of spontaneous generation to rest and proved that <em>organisms can only grow in the presence of pre-existing cells </em>which in this case were the microorganisms.
Answer:
Thomas Hunt Morgan continues on with the genetic research which is of Gregor Mendel but according to research Morgan used fruit flies.
Explanation:
Hypothesis is termed as an explanation which is being proposed for a phenomenon. There is a difference which is between scientific theory and scientific hypothesis.
