Biology
1 answer:
Vlad1618 [11]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a) Humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen

Explanation:

Biodiversity refers to the richness in the species of organisms on Earth i.e the variety of biological organisms on the Earth. The importance of biodiversity cannot be overemphasized because of our dependence on the sustainability of biodiversity in our ecosystems.

The loss of biodiversity, which is becoming rampant by the day, is a major concern to us because we humans depend upon other organisms for food and oxygen. Humans are strictly heterotrophic and hence are reliant on variety of organisms for food. Plants also release oxygen gas via their photosynthetic process, which is key to our survival as a population.

How do scientists determine the thickness of the Earth's layers?
alina1380 [7]

Answer: the relative differences in arrival times of the S and P seismic waves at several recording stations tell scientists about the different speeds those waves were traveling at, which in turn gives information about the density of the material the layer is made of, and how thick the layer is in several directions.

When tissues are subjected to chemical or physical trauma or invasion by pathogenic microorganisms, what can occur?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Inflammation

Explanation:

Inflammation is an immune response produced in the body in response to the damage or trauma caused by physical or chemical factors.

The injured tissue can allow the entry of the microorganism in the body which could cause disease therefore the immune response gets activated to eliminate the pathogen.

The inflammation is marked by the swelling and redness in the injured portion due to the increased flow of blood carrying the White blood cells in that area. The immune cells interact with the pathogen and kill the pathogen.

Thus, Inflammation is the correct answer.

What is the purpose of meiosis? How does the cell do the following: reduce the chromosome number in half and create genetically
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

2 cells meet and the number of chromosomes becomes equivalent to the somatic cell.

Explanation:

In meiosis crossing over occurs and the number of chromosomes divided or remain half as compared to a somatic cell which is called Haploid (n). When two haploid cell meets than diploid (2n) cell formed which further transforms into a zygote. So, the purpose of meiosis is the cross over which creates genetic variation among individuals and reduced the number of chromosomes into the half. Because if the number of chromosomes remains the same as (2n) and (2n) meets and becomes 4n. Which is the wrong pattern so nature keeps this balance in a unique manner that (n) and (n) meets and form (2n).
