Which of the following is a good predictor of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems?

Biology
1 answer:
finlep [7]2 years ago
4 0

The correct answer is - predator species in a community.

In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.

The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.

If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.

Which structure will form when a primitive cell engulfs an aerobic bacterium? mitochondria chloroplast nucleus cell membrane
MatroZZZ [7]

Explanation:

In eukaryotes, cells which contain mitochondria arose from the process of endocytosis in an aerobic bacterium in a primitive cell. Further evolution of this new cell type led to the development of the chloroplast.

Further explanation:

Endocytosis is a type of active transport that moves particles, such as large molecules, parts of cells, and even whole cells, into a cell. There are different variations of endocytosis, but all share a common characteristic: the plasma membrane of the cell invaginates, forming a pocket around the target particle. The pocket pinches off, resulting in the particle being contained in a newly created intracellular vesicle formed from the plasma membrane.

Cells perform three main types of endocytosis. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells ingest large particles, including other cells, by enclosing the particles in an extension of the cell membrane and budding off a new vesicle. Mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by double membranes make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. this chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced

Which of the following would not result in the dilation of the feeder arterioles and opening of the pre capillary sphincter in s
motikmotik

Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

The dilation of feeder arterioles carry blood directly into the blood vessels. The pre capillary sphincter in the systemic capillary beds can open due to the different factors.

The local release of histamines do not cause the dilation of feeder arterioles and does not cause the opening of systemic capillary beds. Histamine chemical is involved in the immune response of the body.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Otrada [13]

Answer:

The correct Answer is A.

Explanation:

The Flow chart of the Carbon Cycle, will look as follows:

1. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

2. Producers undergo photosynthesis (in this process plants among other producers like algae, use CO2 to produce energy).

3. Consumers eat producers (a primary level of consumer like a rabbit eats the producers or plants).

4. Decomposers return Carbon to the soil and release waste.

And the  cycle continues again, by going back to step 1.
