A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This can only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned. Because of this, a lunar eclipse can only happen on the night of a full moon.
The moon gives off a reddish appearance during this time because the only light reaching the moon and reflected off of its surface is the light refracted by the Earth's atmosphere (the same reason a sunrise/sunset appears reddish).
A totally eclipsed full moon is also known as a Blood Moon because of it's colour

Answer:
Results in biodiversity loss due to the proliferated growth of prey that feeds on smaller species
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, organisms feed on one another to obtain energy. In this process organisms called CONSUMERS kill and feed on one another in a process called PREDATION. Top predators are those consumers that are found at the peak of the food chain.
A reduction in the number of top predators/tertiary consumers in an ecosystem means that the secondary consumers they feed on (prey) will grow and reproduce beyond control, hence, causing them to pose serious threat to the population of smaller species below them in the food chain.
Therefore, a decrease/decline in a top predator will impact biodiversity by causing it's loss, as organisms in lower level of the food chain will drastically diminish.
the answer is Pinocytosis
In a population of grasshoppers, the color green (G) is completely dominant over the color brown (g). If 23% of the population is brown, calculate the percentage of the population that is expected to be heterozygous (Gg).
50 percent
Answer:
Double fertilization involves two sperm cells; one fertilizes the egg cell to form the zygote, while the other fuses with the two polar nuclei that form the endosperm. After fertilization, the fertilized ovule forms the seed while the tissues of the ovary become the fruit.
