Answer: B - mosses and lichens that can grow on Rocky surfaces
Explanation: Primary succession usually starts or begins on rock outcrops. It could include bare surfaces, volcanic mountains or an area (water surfaces) with no soil.
In primary succession, pioneer organisms including algae, lichen, mosses and fungi usually are the pioneer species. Other abiotic factors like wind and water play roles of normalizing the habitat.
<span>The Chemistry. When carbon dioxide (CO2) is absorbed by seawater, chemical reactions occur that reduce seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and saturation states of biologically important calcium carbonate minerals. These chemical reactions are termed "ocean acidification" or "OA" for short.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-E
Explanation:
Hershey and Chase's experiment was performed to test whether DNA serves as the genetic material or protein.
To perform experiment they grew bacteriophage into radiolabeled phosphorus and sulfur compounds. The phosphorus is an integral part of the structure of DNA whereas proteins contain sulfur in their structure.
In the given condition if radiolabeled nitrogen is utilized then the experiment will fail as the structure of proteins also contains an amino group( NH₂) in their structure as well as DNA. The scientist will not be able to identify whether the DNA is the genetic material or protein.
Thus, option-E is the correct answer.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. A buildup of lactic acid in the tissues.
Sore muscles after vigorous exercise are the result of lactic acid accumulation in the muscles.
Vigorous exercise reduces the levels of oxygen available in the muscles due to which complete oxidation of the glucose could not take place.
Muscle cells switch to another process called as lactic acid fermentation to produce energy. In this process, lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate into lactate and reduces NADH to NAD⁺.
This NAD⁺ enables the continuation of glycolysis which results in the production of net 2 ATP.
In addition, influx of materials such as nutrients, WBC, anti-inflammatory compounds etc into the muscle cell (for repair) causes swelling of the muscle fibers which is also the reason for the muscle soreness.
