Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?
Liula [17]
<span>In order to obtain the building blocks for larger carbohydrates, such as cellulose and starch, plants rely on photosynthesis to produce a smaller carbohydrate, glucose. During the process of photosynthesis, atmospheric carbon dioxide and water are combined in the presence of light to produce glucose and oxygen. This glucose is then polyemerized in order to create larger, more complex carbohydrates such as cellulose.</span>

Classify the events as autogenic or allogenic succession.
nydimaria [60]

In ecology, allogenic succession is mediated by the abiotic components of the ecosystem, while the autogenic succession refers to the succession, which is mediated by the biotic components of an ecosystem.  

A volcanic eruption wiping out an entire island is an example of allogenic succession.  

A soybean crop helping in nitrogen fixation, leading to the development of other species is an illustration of autogenic succession.  

A tsunami devastating all the living organism in a habitat is an example of allogenic succession.  

Oak trees preventing the growth of smaller sun-seeking shrubs is an example of autogenic succession.

Considering that a hydrophilic stain was used to stain the skin, explain why the fat vacuoles in adipocytes are white (Hint: Rem
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The hydrophilic nature of the stain explains that these molecules are polar and charge molecules. therefore, attracts the water molecule but due to their polar nature, it will avoid lipid or fat molecules.

Adipocytes are the cells that are made up of fat or lipids that are hydrophobic due to their non-polar nature and due to this fact, these hydrophilic stains will not be able to stain adipocytes and will not be colored by the stain.

when lions pick off the slowest members of the herd they are hunting why is it beneficial to the group as a whole?
pav-90 [236]
If lions attack the slowest animal in a herd, it is beneficial to the herd in the following ways:

1.) Evolutionarily, the faster herd members survive and breed, increasing the speed of the offspring and guaranteeing better survival for the future population.
2.) The lions focus on the straggling animal, allowing the rest of the herd to escape.
3.) The death of one herd member ensures the survival of many more.
