Imagine walking through a tropical rainforest. You notice that there are different types of trees, birds, insects, and other org

anisms. A few weeks later you are taking a walk through the desert and notice that the trees, birds, insects, and other organisms are different than those you saw in the rainforest. Which of the following statements best explains the differences between each of these ecological systems?
A. Organisms in each ecological system have short dispersal distances and are confined to the area where they mate.
B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.
C. Organisms in each ecological system haven't had enough time to evolve the adaptations for the other ecosystem; with enough time they will evolve into the other ecological system.
D. Organisms in each ecological system are there by chance and their presence in different ecological systems does not have a biological explanation.

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

According to natural selection theory, organisms need to continuously adapt and evolve within an environment or risk being wiped away from that environment.

Organisms that are not able to adapt to an environment are gradually replaced by those that have the capability to adapt and survive in that environment.

Those that are able to survive go ahead to reproduce and give rise to offspring with inherent ability to survive while those that cannot survive die off.

The correct option is B.

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

Every organism lives in a habitat, within which it lives in an ecosystem best suited for its need. An organism needs food, water and a favorable weather to live. For an organism to survive in an ecosystem, it needs to adapt to the conditions in that ecosystem, else it dies. Therefore, different types of organisms in different systems will have varying characteristics.

This is linked to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution which implies that all organism in an ecological system evolve heritable traits suited for their environment.

In response to seasonal changes in temperature, many organisms must alter the composition of their plasma membranes to maintain
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

C. a decrease in phospholipid fatty acid side chain length and a decrease in side chain saturation

Explanation:

Temperature is a factor that has a huge impact on cell membrane structure, more precisely its fluidity. So, for example, if temperature increases, the cell membrane becomes more fluid because the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids become less rigid.

Ymorist [56]
One critical observation used by both Lamarck and Darwin in their research is about characteristics of inheritance. Although each claimed different sources of inheritance, they were in unison that in time, individuals acquire characteristics called inheritance. Lamarck believed that inheritance is passed from parents to offspring, while Darwin thought that it’s a product of natural selection.

If sugar is sprinkled on a strawberry, osmosis will cause
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. water to move out of the strawberry, making it smaller

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process refers to the movement of liquid molecule from the area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane to equalize the osmotic balance.

Osmosis is important for any cell to maintain a proper osmotic balance of the cell. So if sugar is sprinkled on a strawberry the solute concentration outside the strawberry cells will increase which will result in water release from the cell.

This release of water from the cell will shrink the strawberry and make it small.  Therefore the correct answer is c.
