Answer:
Pond
Explanation:
Ponds are inland water bodies that are usually smaller in surface area than a lake and nonflowing in contrast to rivers or streams. However, a pond is a shallow freshwater source that inhabits organisms' life (plants and animals alike).
Due to the shallow state of a pond, light penetrates to the bottom, hence, allowing the constant growth of plant life. Therefore, PONDS are freshwater sources that contains a permanent shallow body of water with plant life throughout.
Answer:
The correct option is : a. Identification of the cell
Explanation:
The cell membrane, also called plasma membrane, is a semi-permeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of the cell, that protects and separates the interior of the cells from the external environment.
The carbohydrate layer of the cell membrane is known as the glycocalyx. In eukaryotes, <u>the carbohydrates present on the surface of the cell membrane play a important role in the cell-cell recognition and share information.</u>
Answer:
Option (C).
Explanation:
The dilation of feeder arterioles carry blood directly into the blood vessels. The pre capillary sphincter in the systemic capillary beds can open due to the different factors.
The local release of histamines do not cause the dilation of feeder arterioles and does not cause the opening of systemic capillary beds. Histamine chemical is involved in the immune response of the body.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.
Explanation:
The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
