Answer: directional selection, disruptive selection and stabilizing selection
Explanation:
Natural selection is when organisms adapt to the environment and pass down these adaptations to their offspring when they breed
Answer:
Human microbiome
Explanation:
The microbiota that aggregates in the human tissues including placenta, skin, lungs, saliva, and seminal fluid is the human microbiome. The microbiota can be virus, bacteria, fungi and protists.
The microbiome present in the human gut helps in digestion and also provides immunity. Microbiomes can be healthy or unhealthy and an imbalance of both can lead to weight gain, high cholesterol and blood sugar. These are the ecological communities that includes symbiotic, commensal and pathogenic microorganisms.
Answer:
B) Na+
Explanation: Na+ molecule is polar, oxygen and carbon dioxide are nonpolar molecules. The cell membrane is a <em>phospholipid bilayer</em> made up of lipid molecules with polar and nonpolar ends. Since it is a bilayer, two phospholipid layers are arranged, one on the other in such a way that one faces the back of the other. The non polar ends are away from outside and inside of the cell, while the polar ends faces towards all the molecules inside and outside the cell.
Since polar-polar molecules repel each other, Na+ can't pass through the cell membrane easily. So it uses the proteins attached the cell membrane inside and outside to transport such molecules by using energy in terms of ATP.
Explanation:
Taking steps to reduce or eliminate pollution from nonpoint sources such as streets and farms will help to maintain the ecological balance. Sewage and run-off of agricultural fertilizer can cause the rapid growth of algae in lakes and streams. The growth of algae blocks sunlight and depletes the oxygen in the water.
There are both physical and biological limiting factors found in nature.
-Physical factors (abiotic factors) include temperature, water availability, oxygen, salinity, light, food and nutrients.
-Biological factors (biotic factors) involve interactions between organisms such as predation, competition, parasitism and
herbivory.
