ANSWER: POPULATION ECOLOGY

EXPLANATION:

The scientific field that deals with populations (i.e all individuals of a single species inhabiting a community) and how they interact with their extrinsic environment, is referred to as POPULATION ECOLOGY.

Thus, it's categorized under population ecology, because the research depicts how the number of individuals (beetles) in a population changes in time and the gross impact on their number decrease and loss of all the individuals (extinction) over a period of time.

Natasha2012 [34]

Embryophyta is a clade within the Phragmoplastophyta, a larger clade that also includes several green algae groups. Embryophytes are the plants growing on land which include hornworts, liverworts, gymnosperms, flowering plants etc while green algae mostly thrive in aquatic environment.

The conduction of water requires vascular tissue called xylem. In green algae, it is not necessary to have water conducting tissue as the entire body is in contact with water. However in embryophytes, having a vascular tissue is an adaptation that ensures to provide water to the higher parts of the plant which is not directly in contact with the soil.

You just read an article on the Endosymbiotic Theory. Based on what you read, what is the importance of the Endosymbiotic Theory

Fantom [35]

The endosymbiotic theory which is also sometimes referred to as symbiogenesis states that all the organelles of the eukaryotic cells are prokaryotic cells that tends to live in a much larger host. This theory is important because it does explains how the eukaryotic cells are able to obtain the needed nourishment that is believed to be replenished by the prokaryotic cells.
