Biology

antiseptic1488 [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

At each higher level of consumption, the amount of toxin is magnified.

Explanation:

Those predators all eat smaller secondary consumers, and those secondary consumers eat the primary consumers, which a lot of the times are exposed to DDT. For example bugs are often the primary target for DDT, once those bugs are exposed to the DDT they carry it in/with them. When a fish eats the bug, that fish is now exposed to the DDT. When the fish is caught and eaten by an eagle that eagle and its young are now being exposed to DDT. The DDT might not effect the full grown eagle for its lifetime but it does effect its young.

Carbonized fossils are made of:
ExtremeBDS [4]
Carbonized remains are thin, approximately two-dimensional films of carbon preserved on a flat surface of rock. They are most often black in color, reflecting the fact that they composed mostly of carbon (as is coal, which is also black in color). Most fossils that exhibit “soft part” preservation are carbonizations.

I would say the answer is the Carbon remains of the original organism.

What are the phases of Mitosis and what happens in each phase?
Norma-Jean [14]
Interphase: Chromosomes duplicate, and the copies remain attached to each other.

Prophase: In the nucleus, chromosomes condense and become visible. Spindle fibers begin to form.

Prometaphase: The nulcear membrane breaks apart, and the spindle starts to interact with the chromosomes.

Metaphase: The copied chromosomes align in the middle of the spindle.

Anaphase: Chromosomes separate into two genetically identical groups and move to opposite ends of the spindle.

Telophase: Nuclear membranes form around each of the two sets of chromosomes, they begin to spread out, and the spindle begins to break down.

Cytokinesis: The two cells split into two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

What happens if a cell is unable to divide by mitosis
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

When this happens, sometimes the cell commits a special type death is called apoptosis. Apoptosis, otherwise known as programmed cell death, ensures that if mitosis goes wrong and cannot be fixed, the cell does not continue to divide, as this would lead to the production of mutant cells that might cause problems.
