Answer 1

Complete question:

Starting on bare rock, what is the usual ecological succession of organisms?

a)shrubs--grasses--lichens--trees

b)lichens--shrubs--grasses--trees

c)grasses--shrubs--lichens--trees

d)liches--grasses--shrubs--trees

Answer:

d)liches--grasses--shrubs--trees

Explanation:

The succession is the colonization of an open area and includes all the changes the area suffers since then. It is a sequence of events that involves the establishment of different species through time.

There are two types of succession, primary and secondary, depending on the magnitude of the alteration.

Primary succession refers to an open space with no living organisms, such as a bare rock exposed due to a retreating glacier, a volcanic activity, or an intense fire. If previous species were inhabiting this area, after the event, nothing is left.

In those cases where there is an alteration or disturbance at a site that opens the area, it allows new species to grow. With time, new species arrive and manage to establish again. The order of the establishment depends on the strategies of each of the species to survive.

First, pioneer species arrive. These are the first inhabitants, mostly lichens or moses with the capability of surviving in such an environment. Only a few pioneers can establish in the open space. Pioneers modify the habitat. They make it more suitable for the establishment of later species, converting rock into fertile soil. As conditions get better, new species arrive like grasses. Grasses and pioneers keep modifying the soil,  making it better with time. New species arrive, like small species, bushes and shrubs. Habitat modification keeps on going while new species establish (trees, pines, among other big species). They produce shadows, alter the temperature, and humidity, fertilizing the soil, competing for resources. Competition becomes more frequent between species. The first species are eventually eliminated by competition, but new species keep appearing and competing for resources. This sequence continues until the commuting reaches a climax, becoming stable and lasting for hundreds of years until another disturbance occurs.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. liches--grasses--shrubs--trees

Explanation:

primary ecological succession will be as: lichens inhabit bare rocks and breakdown the minerals rich material in the rock and die to produce organic material so that new species could be formed as grasses will grow which will become shrub and eventually the tree. Animals eat those grass, shrub or tree products.

When plants with red flowers are crossed with plants with blue flowers, sometimes only red flowers are produced; other times either red or blue flowers are produced. Which gene is dominant?

Answers

wait what???????????????

Answer:

The colors you see in flowers come from the DNA of a plant. Genes in a plant's DNA direct cells to produce pigments of various colors. When a flower is red, for instance, it means that the cells in the petals have produced a pigment that absorbs all colors of light but red.

Explanation:

Dominant refers to the relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive two versions of each gene, known as alleles, from each parent. If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed; it is the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.

List the three parts of the cell cycle.

Answers

Answer:

The cell cycle is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage). The stages G1, S, and G2 make up interphase, which accounts for the span between cell divisions.

What are some negative impacts of having this life cycle that might have contributed to a decline in the dragonfly population?

Answers

Answer:

Dragonflies are important for our environment.

Explanation:

Dragon flies belongs to the ancient family of insects. They are found on every parts of the world and have been from around 300 millions years ago. There are more than 5000 different species of them found in different parts of the world. Conserving dragonflies is important as they considered as a valuable environmental indicators.

Dragon flies are found in the areas where water is available and near grasslands. Their life cycle is an example of an incomplete metamorphosis. The dragon flies lays their eggs near the water or in the water. Dragon flies spends most of the life time as a nymph in the water where they turn into an adult and leave the water. The dragon flies rely on the aquatic ecosystems all through their life. Thus dragonflies are an important indicators of the environment and water quality.

Most of the life cycle of the dragon flies depend on the availability of water and its quality. Polluting water and destroying their habitat will result in the decline of the population of the dragon flies.

Which neurotransmitters are used for each division of the autonomic nervous system? Be sure to describe the synapse at the autonomic ganglion and at the effector. What component of the system determines if a given neurotransmitter has an excitatory or inhibitory effect on the target effector?

Answers

Answer:

The autonomic nervous system is in charge of controlling visceral effectors. Traditionally, it is described by its peripheral nervous components (ganglia, nerves and plexuses) and two divisions are distinguished: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. Transmission of the excitatory stimulus through the synaptic cleft occurs by release of neurotransmitters; the neurotransmitters of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system are mainly norepinephrine (NA) and acetylcholine (AC). The NA-secreting fibers are called adrenergic and those that secrete AC, cholinergic. All preganglionic neurons, both those of the sympathetic nervous system and those of the parasympathetic nervous system, are cholinergic. The neuron that releases the neurotransmitter is called a presynaptic neuron. The signal receptor neuron is called a postsynaptic neuron. Depending on the type of neurotransmitter released, postsynaptic neurons are either stimulated (excited) or de-stimulated (inhibited).

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is the part of the central and peripheral nervous system that is responsible for the regulation of the involuntary functions of the organism, the maintenance of internal homeostasis and the adaptive responses to variations in the external and internal environment  and two divisions are distinguished: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. Acetylcholine is the preganglionic neurotransmitter of both divisions of the S.N.A. (sympathetic and parasympathetic) and also of the postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic. The nerves at whose endings acetylcholine are released are called cholinergic. Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter of postganglionic sympathetic neurons. The nerves into which norepinephrine is released are called adrenergic. Within the efferent sympathetic impulses, the postganglionic neurons that innervate the eccrine sweat glands and some blood vessels that supply the skeletal muscles are of the cholinergic type. Both acetylcholine and norepinephrine act on the different organs to produce the corresponding parasympathetic or sympathetic effects. The peripheral nerve endings of the sympathetic form a reticulum or plexus from which the terminal fibers come in contact with the effector cells. All the norepinephrine in peripheral tissues is found in the sympathetic endings in which it accumulates in subcellular particles analogous to the chromaffin granulations of the adrenal medulla. The release of norepinephrine at nerve endings occurs in response to action potentials that travel through nerve endings. The receptor, when stimulated by catecholamines, sets in motion a series of membrane changes that are followed by a cascade of intracellular phenomena that culminate in a measurable response. There are two classes of adrenergic receptors known as alpha and beta. These two classes are again subdivided into others that have different functions and that can be stimulated or blocked separately. Norepinephrine primarily excites alpha receptors and beta receptors to a small extent. The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is synthesized at the axonal terminal and deposited in synaptic vesicles. Acetylcholine activates two different types of receptors, called muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Acetylcholine (AC) synthesis takes place at presynaptic termination by acetylation of choline with acetyl-coenzyme A, a reaction catalyzed by acetylcholinetransferase. The energy required for the release of a neurotransmitter is generated in the mitochondria of the presynaptic terminal. Binding of neurotransmitters to postsynaptic membrane receptors produces changes in membrane permeability. The nature of the neurotransmitter and the receptor molecule determines whether the effect produced will be one of excitation or inhibition of the postsynaptic neuron.

Answers

Answer:

Life on Earth began more than 3 billion years ago, evolving from the most basic of microbes into a dazzling array of complexity over time. But how did the first organisms on the only known home to life in the universe develop from the primordial soup?  One theory involved a "shocking" start. Another idea is utterly chilling. And one theory is out of this world!  Inside you'll learn just how mysterious this all is, as we reveal the different scientific theories on the origins of life on Earth.Electric sparks can generate amino acids and sugars from an atmosphere loaded with water, methane, ammonia and hydrogen, as was shown in the famous Miller-Urey experiment reported in 1953, suggesting that lightning might have helped create the key building blocks of life on Earth in its early days. Over millions of years, larger and more complex molecules could form. Although research since then has revealed the early atmosphere of Earth was actually hydrogen-poor, scientists have suggested that volcanic clouds in the early atmosphere might have held methane, ammonia and hydrogen and been filled with lightning as well. The first molecules of life might have met on clay, according to an idea elaborated by organic chemist Alexander Graham Cairns-Smith at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. These surfaces might not only have concentrated these organic compounds together, but also helped organize them into patterns much like our genes do now.  The main role of DNA is to store information on how other molecules should be arranged. Genetic sequences in DNA are essentially instructions on how amino acids should be arranged in proteins. Cairns-Smith suggests that mineral crystals in clay could have arranged organic molecules into organized patterns. After a while, organic molecules took over this job and organized themselves.
