Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The organisms that harness non-biological energy and convert it to biologically relevant/useful energy are called __autotrophos or producers_. The organisms that consume these are called _herbivores_ (it should end in -ores) which occur at the __second_ trophic level. The number of trophic levels that any ecological system will primarily dependent on the _consumer_ organisms.

Explanation:

 In the trophic web occurs energy transference through organisms occupying different levels in the chain. Each level feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is occupied by autotroph organisms, which are the producer. The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.  

Every link has an effect on the superior links and the immediately anterior link, meaning that whenever one of the links changes, the other ones will be affected.  

Autotrophs or producers synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn them into organic matter according to their own needs. These organisms are photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs. They occur at the first trophic level.

Heterotrophs are those incapable of producing their own organic matter, so they feed on producers, depending on them to get proteins and energy. In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the first, second, or third consumer level, after producers. These animals can be herbivorous, carnivorous,  omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.

In the particular case of herbivores, they occur at the second throphic level feeding on producers and being eaten by carnivores.

In general, most trophic chains are composed of 4 or 5 levels, depending on the number of consumers present, and the energy transference between levels.

Importance of antimicrobial emulsion​

Answers

Answer:

Citral is a typical essential oil used in the food, cosmetic, and drug industries and has shown antimicrobial activity against microorganisms. Citral is unstable and hydrophobic under normal storage conditions, so it can easily lose its bactericide activity. Nanoemulsion technology is an excellent way to hydrophilize, microencapsulate, and protect this compound. In our studies, we used a mixed surfactant to form citral-in-water nanoemulsions, and attempted to optimize the formula for preparing nanoemulsions. Citral-in-water nanoemulsions formed at So 0.4 to 0.6 and ultrasonic power of 18 W for 120 seconds resulted in a droplet size of < 100 nm for nanoemulsions. The observed antimicrobial activities were significantly affected by the formulation of the nanoemulsions. The observed relationship between the formulation and activity can lead to the rational design of nanoemulsion-based delivery systems for essential oils, based on the desired function of antimicrobials in the food, cosmetics, and agrochemical industries.

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. populations, communities, and ecosystems

B. DNA, RNA, and protein

C. Cells, tissues, and organs

The answer is A

Explanation:

The biological level of organization shows the organized build up of life from cellular level to organismal level. However, this organization goes beyond the organismal level. Individual species of organisms can assemble to form a POPULATION.

Likewise, populations of different species can coexist to form a COMMUNITY. The community of organisms can interact with their abiotic environment to form an ECOSYSTEM.

Therefore, the level of biological organization extends as follows:

Which of the following changes to Earth is caused predominantly by living organisms?

A. The production of dirt.B. The release of free nitrogen into the atmosphere.C. The release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.D. The movement of air currents by convection cells.

The production of dirt is cause predominantly by living organisms

This production can be caused through emission of pollution in the form of air, water, soil, noise or e-waste.

What is Pollution?

Pollution is defined as the introduction of unwanted harmful elements in the form of release of gaseous toxic substances which result into polluting the environment.

These pollutants can be both natural and anthropogenic.

Natural pollutants are volcanic ash, river sediments

Anthropogenic pollutants are chemicals released from industries vehicular emission.

Majorly pollution are of four types- Air, Water, Soil and Noise. Recently another pollution in the form of e-waste is also prominent.

Effects of pollution on environment:

1. Biomagnification describes situations where toxins (such as heavy metals)  passes through trophic levels, becoming exponentially more concentrated in the process.

2. Carbon dioxide emissions cause ocean acidification, the ongoing decrease in the pH of the Earth's oceans as CO2 becomes dissolved.

3. The emission of greenhouse gases leads to global warming which affects ecosystems in many ways.

4. Nitrogen oxides are removed from the air by rain and affect the land which can change the species composition of ecosystems.

5. Smog and haze can reduce the amount of sunlight received by plants to carry out photosynthesis and leads to the production of tropospheric ozone which damages plants.

6. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can cause acid rain which lowers the pH value of soil.

7. Organic pollution of watercourses can deplete oxygen levels and reduce species diversity.

Rest three options are majorly natural process.

Option B focuses on release of free nitrogen into atmosphere which is one of the important step of Nitrogen Cycle.

Option C focuses towards release of Sulfur Dioxide into atmosphere. This process is caused either naturally or anthropogenically. Thus cant blame solely the anthropogenic factor for its release.

Option C is the total natural process i.e. Climatological Process where air currents are regulated by Convection Cells and regulate based on different natural factors.

A genetically heterogeneous population of rice has a mean in the number of days to maturation of 30. Selection for decreased period of maturation is carried out for one generation. The average period to maturation among the plants selected as parents for the next generation is 25 days. F1 plants mature on average in 27 days. Estimate the narrow sense heritability.

Answers

Answer:

h² = 0.6

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.

Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.

The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,  

SD = X₀ - Xs

Heritability in the strict sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.  

h² = R/SD

The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.  

R = h²SD  

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),  

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

Available data:  

You are selecting rice´s decreased period of maturation. The population of rice has a mean maturation time of 30 days → X₀ Parental selected average period to maturation is 25 days → Xs F1 plants mature on average in 27 days → X₁ N arrow sense Heritability → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of h².

We know that h² = R/SD, so we need to get R and SD first.  

R = X₁ - X₀

R = 27 - 30

R = -3

SD = Xs -  X₀  

SD = 25 - 30

SD = -5

Knowing this, we can calculate h²

h² = R/SD

h² = -3/-5  

h² = 0.6

ANOVA is a technique that permits the comparison of the equality of means for multiple populations. Thus, 3 means could be compared and a determination of whether or not one of the means is significantly different from others can be made. This technique is extremely useful, but, as is always the case, the application requires a firm understanding of models assumptions. Consider the following scenario. A meticulously determined random sample of 200 observations is taken from a very large population. This data divides into 4 groups or factor levels, and a numerical measure for each observation is recorded. The population distribution of the measure appears to be slightly skewed positive. The 4 groups have the following number of observations 30, 100, 15 and 55. Which of the following statements leads to the greatest concern in using ANOVA as an analytical technique.
a. Unequal sample sizes among groups can seriously affect the power of the test.
b. Slightly skewed positive distribution of population measures seriously affect the power of the test.
c. In this scenario, I should be concerned about whether the data has been gathered in a biased fashion.

Explanation:

The brain sends instructions to the muscles that control voluntary movement through nerve cells called motor neurons. The function of the motor neuron is basically to carry the information that comes from the descending pathways of the spinal cord, in order to generate an activation in the tissues of the skeletal and visceral muscles of all parts of the body. Motor neurons need the information sent to them by sensory or efferent neurons. Since in order to perform the appropriate muscle movements for the situation, our brain must receive information from the outside. By sending sensory stimulation through interoreceptors, motor neurons can regulate visceral activity, stimulating or inhibiting the activity of their effector tissues. In this way, our nervous system integrates the information from both types of neurons and allows us to move and react according to the demands and circumstances of our external context.
