Nematodes are wormlike organisms which can be seen with naked eye, live in water-filled pore spaces in the soil. Nematodes are in large number in the upper soil layers where organic matter, plant roots, and other resources are most abundant.
The functions of nematodes:
- Free-living nematodes decompose organic material into nutrients and cycled them in the soil by feeding on some bacteria and fungi.
- Nematodes help in distributing bacteria and fungi through the soil and along roots by carrying live and dormant microbes.
- They used as food for higher predators, soil microorthropodes.
- They eat disease-causing organisms, thus suppress their growth.
- They acts as potential bio- control agents.
Answer:
Gigantopithecus could stand on its hind legs, and the known jaws of Gigantopithecus widen towards the rear and proposed that this widening occurred to allow for the housing of a trachea (the ‘windpipe’ that connects the lungs to the mouth opening) when the skull was placed directly in top of the head like a human and not carried forward like a great ape.
Alcoholic fermentation occurs in yeast and produces ethyl alchol from pyruvate.
Lactic acid fermentation occurs in animals and produces lactic acid from pyruvate.
Both of these processes can proceed in the absence of oxygen.
Answer:
1. The benefits include safer and more efficient nuclear power plants. The kind of energy that is produced is clean with no greenhouse gases and the cost of operating a nuclear power plant is inexpensive. 2.In terms of the disadvantages of uranium, it can have deleterious health effects and can lead to death because of its radioactivity. Radioactive waste is also an additional issue, if it is not disposed of at a safe place and not stored properly, it can leak radiation. Such emissions can last for centuries.
3. It produces no greenhouse gases or other waste and Tides are easily predictable. 4. High tidal power plant construction costs, Negative influence on marine
Explanation:
Take in energy from the sun and convert that energy into chemical energy
