Succession in Marine Ecosystem the deep dark ocean floor is a: barren, inhospitable environment. The disturbance begins when a large whale dies and sinks to the barren ocean floor. What happens after whale death: The whale carcass attracts: many scavengers and decomposers that begin to feast on the decaying carcass.

Answer:

An ecological succession involves the series of changes in the biotic community with respect to changes in the non-living factors such as water, availability of sunlight and other factors along with time, until the ecosystem attains stability.

When a whale carcass sinks to the ocean floor it creates an environment appropriate for succession to happen because an oceanic floor exhibiting low biological activity before the carcass sinks at the oceanic floor, attains the high biological activity after the carcass sinks. The range of decomposers and scavengers organisms can feed on this carcass. This will result in increase in population of these feeding organisms. Hence, the whale carcass has initiated the succession in the previously less active ocean floor.

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Option A, Start the reaction by absorbing light energy

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a green color pigment in plant that helps in entrapping sunlight. Being green in color, it absorbs the blue and red light and reflects the green light. The molecules of chlorophyll gains energy from sunlight and then jumps to higher energy levels by the process known as photo excitation. These excited molecules get ionized to further initiate the process of photosynthesis.

Hence, option A is correct.

Since broth cultures of bacteria can reach high numbers of cells quickly, a series of answer experiments (one word) is required
nexus9112 [7]

The answer is Dilutions

Bacterial culture is one of the laboratory examination that could be used to determine if a specimen contain bacteria. But it will hard to count the colony if the bacteria count is too high.

That is why the specimen of the culture need to be diluted to reduce the bacteria count of the specimen, so the result will be easier to count. The unit used would be colony forming unit(CFU) per milliliter.

Explain how corn can be used as an example of Mendel's law of independent assortment.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the genes are separated and inherited independently of each other into the gametes.

The corn can be used to study the law if independent assortment as each kernel of the corn is its fruit. Thus, it is a result of sexual reproduction.

Single corn may contain 800-1000 kernels which may have different shape, texture, structure et cetera as result of independent assortment, that is, each kernel receives alleles of genes independent of each other.

For example, a gene responsible for the texture of kernel would be inherited independently of the gene responsible for the color of the kernel.
