Using a flowchart, describe why the concentration of DDT in ring seals is much higher than the concentration in the arctic cod?

Answer:

The concentration of DDT in-ring seals is higher than the concentration in the arctic cod because the concentration of DDT increases in the higher food chain due to biomagnification.

When organisms at lower food chain bioaccumulate chemicals like DDT get eaten by organisms at higher food chain then the concentration of DDT increases called biomagnification.

Arctic cod are the small fish which eats small copepods, then arctic cod is eaten by big fish and then these big fishes are eaten by ring seals. Therefore ring seals have a higher concentration of DDT than arctic cods.

Flow chart of biomagnification :

Tiny algae→copepod→arctic cod→bigger char fish→ring seals

as we go higher in the food chain, the accumulation of pesticides increases, because ring seals are in higher rank than the Arctic cod, that's why there is much higher concentration of DDT is present in ring seals.

Why might a lysosome fuse with or link up with a food vacuole
Tomtit [17]
Vacuoles store things, so it would make sense that food vacuoles store food. Lysosomes digest things into smaller usable materials (or destroy them) so lysosomes will attach to food vacuoles so they can efficiently digest food. The vacuole to store the food waiting to be digested by the lysosome. Hope this helped :)

Eukaryotic cells have a large complex cytoskeleton. Especially in animal cells, they are very large why is this? What is the dif
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Eukariotic cells are bigger and complex than bacteria. The difference between cystoskeleton of eukariotic and bacteria cells is the type of proetein in each one.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is composed mainly in arrays of protein filaments. Its function is to maintain the shape of the cell, maintain in place the organelles (such as mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) and the transport throughout the cell. Every cell has a cytoskeleton, eukaryotic, bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotic cells are bigger than bacteria and have more organelles in them to maintain in place, this is why cytoskeleton are bigger and complex. The bacteria are a single cell, simpler, with a few organelles, the cytoskeleton is more simple but important. The cytoskeleton is similar in both, the difference is the type of proteins in them. In bacteria are simple proteins, meanwhile, in eukaryotic are a complex protein.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

Mendel's law of segregation states that pair of alleles representing a gene segregate during gamete formation and randomly unite during fertilization.

<em>Hence, a gene represented by Rr alleles will segregate into R and r gametes. Out of the two gametes, one will carry R allele while the other one will carry r allele. The probability that a gamete will carry an r allele therefore is 1/2.</em>
