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.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Both are correct

Explanation:

The modern system classifies organisms into eight levels: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The scientific name given to an organism is based on binomial nomenclature.

The "traditional" system relies on Linnean classification (what looks similar between the the two species.

If one million kilocalories of energy are stored in producers in an ecosystem, how many kilocalories can be transferred to terti
Mashcka [7]
The answer is 1000 kilocarolies.  It is important to keep in mind that Energy is passed up the food chain from one trophic level to the next but a lot of it is lost along the way. Energy is passed up the food chain from one trophic level to the next. However, only about 10% of the total energy stored in organisms at one trophic level is actually transferred to organisms at the next trophic level. Therefore; if the producers have 1 million kilocarolies, then  the energy transferred to the primary consumer will be 100,000 kilocalories (10% of a million), and the energy transferred to the secondary consumer will be 10,000 kilocalories (10% of 100,000) and the energy to the tertiary consumer will be 1000 kilocarolies (10% of 10,000).

Which plant cell organelle helps maintain the shape of the cell by helping to maintain turgor pressure? A) cell membrane B) cell
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: The correct answer is- C) vacuole.

Large central Vacuole is a specialized fluid filled organelle, present only in plant cell. It is primarily involved in providing support and shape to the plant cell by maintaining the turgor pressure ( a hydrostatic force that is produced due to the cell contents against the inner side of the cell wall). The central vacuole stores water ( that flows through osmosis) and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Turgor pressure provides mechanical support and helps in the growth and development of plant.
