(a) Aquatic ecosystems are rich in diversity. The life inside water is largely influenced by various abiotic factors. The abiotic factors are the chemical and physical components of an environment that affect the organisms living there. The primary abiotic factors that affect the life underwater are temperature, light and availability of oxygen.

(b) Oxygen available to the aquatic organisms is a detrimental factor. If less oxygen is available underwater aquatic animals will not be able to respire and die.
Light is also an important abiotic factor for underwater organisms especially for the aquatic plants. the aquatic plants underwater will not be able to make their food by photosynthesis if proper light is not available.
Temperature also plays an important role. Too low or too high temperature affects the metabolic activities of the organisms.
Depth of water body affects the availability of light and oxygen to the aquatic organisms. Shallow water bodies have light available to more aquatic organisms.

The oil immersion objective is necessary to determine the morphology of prokaryotes
VLD [36.1K]
To clearly view the morphology of the prokaryotes, one needs a microscope with higher resolution i.e magnification of ×100. Use of oil for this purpose is important because it  reduces the refraction of light as it travels from air to glass. this process increases the resolution of the microscope making it possible to view morphology of bacteria.

A cell biologist carefully measured the quantity of DNA in grasshopper cells growing in cell culture. Cells examined during the
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

100 units

Explanation:

The interphase of the cell cycle includes three stages: G1, S, and G2. During the S phase of interphase, the cell enters the process of DNA replication. DNA replication duplicates the existing DNA molecule and doubles the DNA content of the cell. The cell accommodates the newly formed DNA in two sister chromatids of chromosomes. If a cell of grasshopper contained 200 units of DNA in the G2 phase, the cell would have 100 units of DNA in the G1 phase. The S phase would have doubled the DNA content and the G2 phase had 200 units.
