Answer:

Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and other organisms usually lack soil.

Secondary succession is one of the two types of ecological succession of a plant's life. It is the process started by an event (e.g. forest fire, harvesting, hurricane, etc.) that reduces an already established ecosystem (e.g. a forest or a wheat field) to a smaller population of species, and as such secondary succession occurs on preexisting soil whereas primary succession usually occurs in a place lacking soil.

Explanation:

Primary succession takes time for completion around 1000 years, whereas secondary succession area takes 200 years for completion. In primary succession, there is a lack of soil and humus for the sustaining of life whereas, in secondary succession, soil and humus are present with some organisms.

A Secondary succession can take a few hundred years.

How abundant are plankton?
lara [203]

Answer:

While plankton are most abundant in surface waters, they live throughout the water column.

Explanation:

Plankton inhabit oceans, seas, lakes, ponds. Local abundance varies horizontally, vertically and seasonally. The primary cause of this variability is the availability of light. All plankton ecosystems are driven by the input of solar energy (but see chemosynthesis), confining primary production to surface waters, and to geographical regions and seasons having abundant light.

babunello [35]

Answer:

Through Mutation

Explanation:

Since our cells are able to produce exact copies of themselves. Thus, until unless some mutation has occurred and affected the ability of the cells to produce exactly similar duplicates copies of the parent cell, there is no way that an individual gets aged.  

Since, mutation affects the mitochondrial DNA it is pretty sure that a mutated cell has affected the longevity of a normal cell and then that mutated cell has produced million other mutated aged cell by replicating itself
