Answer:

he organisms that can fix energy from inorganic sources into organic molecules are called autotrophs. Organisms that cannot make their food from inorganic sources but depend on energy rich organic molecules synthesized by autotrophs for their energy needs are called heterotrophs.

The only source of energy for all the ecosystems of the earth is the sun. Light falling on the plants is trapped by the producers or autotrophs in the presence of chlorophyll and is used in synthesizing the organic food called glucose by the process of photosynthesis. By photosynthesis radiant energy of sunlight is transformed into potential energy of food. A part of this energy is trapped by the producers while the rest of the energy is dissipated. The remaining part of energy which is used in the synthesis of plant biomass is called photosynthate which is then available to the next trophic level in the food chain that is the consumers or heterotrophs. In an ecosystem there is a unidirectional flow of energy.

Decomposer's role is to break down dead food. They basically eat it, then the dead food or the dead animal gets ground into the ground, and makes the soil good. Like worms, or fungi, mushrooms, etc. Rotten fruit  is not really wasted because 1) the decomposers eat it, and 2) it makes the soil good

Before chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell to split, where do the chromosomes line up?

Chromosomes have lined up on the metaphase plate. During anaphase (b), the sister chromatids are pulled apart and move toward opposite poles of the cell.

Although scientific theories are based on strong evidence, they can change over time. Which of the following correctly explains
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Scientists argue, re-examine, and consider new explanations to new data

Explanation:

Theories are susceptible to changes and new data can be incorporated into the theory because advances and discoveries are made.Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions thus, scientists argue, re-examine, and consider new explanations to new data.As additional scientific evidence is gathered, a new scientific theory may be modified and ultimately rejected if it cannot be made to fit the new findings.

Although theories are only modified in most cases, when a theory lacks any of the following characteristic they are susceptible to rejection by the scientists. A theory must be observable and repeatable to avoid frauds. Theories should be testeable and make falsifiable predictions with consistent accuracy across a broad area of scientific inquiry. It should also be well-supported by many independent strands of evidence. In addition, having consistency with preexisting experimental results and accuracy in its predictions as in any preexisting theories. All the above features provide room for change in theories over-time.

Term for Dominant vs Recessive
MatroZZZ [7]

Short answer:

Dominant alleles/traits mask recessive alleles/traits. If both alleles are dominant, the organism will express that dominant trait. (i.e. RR)  

If both alleles are recessive, the organism will express the recessive trait (i.e rr).

If one allele is dominant, and the other is recessive, it typically expresses the dominant trait (i.e.Rr).

<u>Just in case you might need information, read on:</u>

I'll take you back a bit just to help you understand the concept.

Genes carry the information that determines traits that you will get. Specific genes are found in specific locations of your chromosome (locus) and they come in two's and the pairs code for a specific trait. However, the pair of genes do not always match and this is what we call alleles.

Alleles are varied forms of genes. For example, you have a Black allele and a Brown allele for hair color, where Black is DOMINANT and brown is RECESSIVE.

We say dominant because it overrides the recessive if the gene has one of each in its pair. What happens then?

Well, the dominant masks the recessive. The recessive does not go away, but the dominant trait just has a greater effect, which cover the recessive trait . So if we have allele pairs that is black and brown, then the hair color would be black.

If the pair of alleles are both brown, then brown will be expressed because there is no black allele to cover it up.
