Answer:

The rusting of iron may be defined as the process of formation of the oxide layer by the attack of oxygen and moisture on the surface of iron. This rusting changes the color and reduces the value of iron.

The iron turns into the brownish red powder due to the oxidation of iron. The oxygen in the presence of moisture reacts with iron to form a brown layer known as rust. The reactants are oxygen, water and iron. The products are iron oxide (brown rust).

The brownish-red powder on iron is called rust. It is formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. It is called oxidizing or rusting due to exposure to water and air.

The reactants are oxygen and iron the products are carbon dioxide and water and the process is oxidization.

It has meanwhile been shown that the most sensitive cells are those that areundifferentiated, well nourished, dividing quickly and highly active metabolically. Amongst the body cells, the most sensitive are spermatogoniaand erythroblasts, epidermal stem cells, gastrointestinal stem cells.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Maternal inheritance means the transfer of characters from mothers to offspring through mitochondria. The paternal leakage means some mitochondria transfer from the father as well.

As the information given in the question, the amount of DNA from father's mitochondria is small. The quite small amount of DNA will not affect the conclusions and results that are made by the studies and do not affect the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA.

Answer:

1. Mutualism

2. Mutualism (it was previously thought to be a case of commensalism)

3. Predation

4. Competition

Explanation:

1. Zooxanthellae and hard coral - Mutualism

These two organisms live in symbiosis. This means that both benefit each other. Zooxanthellae allow corals to gain energy through photosynthesis and, in turn, they receive important nutrients that are produced during the metabolism of the hard coral.

2. Remora and manta ray - Mutualism

Remoras and manta rays benefit each other. Remoras attach to manta rays mainly for transportation and feeding, but they also do it for protection. In turn, they make sure manta rays are clear from harmful bacteria and parasites. Several years ago, it was thought that manta rays didn't gain any benefit from remoras, so this was thought to be a case of commensalism. However, research has shown that they both benefit from each other. Therefore, this is also a case of mutualism.

3. Tiger shark and green sea turtle - Predation

In some areas (not everywhere) tiger sharks feed upon green sea turtles. For example, in Hawaii, have been observed to attack green sea turtles and feed on them. Researchers have spotted numerous sea turtles with characteristic tiger shark bites.

4. Dolphins and school of trevallies - Competition

Trevallies are large species of fish that feed on small schools of fish like dolphins. They both have their own predatory strategies that involve planning and gathering to catch large amounts of fish. Therefore, trevallies and dolphins compete for small schools of fish.
