1. An example of secondary consumer is snake. Secondary consumers are the ones who eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivore.
2. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and (some other organisms) that converts water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the presence of sun energy (collected in the chloroplasts) into chemical energy that is later stored in sugars (carbohydrates). Organisms that do the photosynthesis are called autotrophs (produce food by themselves).
3. The energy pyramid represents energy flow in a community, where the different levels represent different groups of organisms.
The food chain is a circulation of energy that comes from the sun and passes from the producer organisms to the primary consumer, secondary and tertiary consumer organisms.
4. For example, plant is producer that is eaten by primary consumer-herbivore (e.g. bugs). Than secondary consumer-carnivore (e.g. snake) eat that herbivore and than is being eaten by tertiary consumer (apex predator that have no natural predator).
5. One trophic level gets only 10% of the energy of the previous level. So, if the plant have 10.000 units of energy and is eaten by rabbit, rabbit gets 1000 units of energy, and when the fox eats an rabbit, it gets 100 units of energy.
6. Trophic level is the position of an organism in the food chain.
Answer:
The correct answer is b. must be present in a population before natural selection can act upon the population
Explanation:
Genetic variation can be caused by mutation, recombination between chromosomes during meiosis and by fusion of two genetically different gametes during sexual reproduction.
This genetic variation is necessary for the evolution of any population. Natural selection acts on every individual and it decreases the frequency of those alleles that are not suited for the environment and increase the frequency of those alleles which helps the individual to survive in the changing environment.
Therefore genetic variation must be present in the population before natural selection act on the.
Answer:
The answer is C. The cell took in another ancient prokaryotic cell, which began living inside it.
Explanation:
- The Endosymbiont Theory explains the evolution of membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.
- According to the theory, mitochondria evolved when an ameoba like organism engulfed bacteria capable of cellular respiration.
- Similarly, chloroplasts were developed when the ameoba like organism engulfed cyanobacteria or blue-green algae capable of photosynthesis.
- These organisms survived inside the ameoba over millions of years to develop into mitochondria and chloroplasts.
- The fact that mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and ribosomes is evidence of the endosymbiont theory.
Answer:
FALSE ** is the correct answer
Explanation:
Even though it’s stated that a DNA molecule is being represented beolow.... if you look closely enough you can see how no such representation exists, therefore making the answer false.
