Why is the movement of basic elements in
ecosystems different from the transfer of
energy?
Answer:
Chemical nutrients and energy tend to flow in the same direction for most of an ecosystem. The big difference is that the chemical nutrients are ultimately recycled in the ecosystem while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the universe at large. Energy in any ecosystem ultimately comes from the Sun
Explanation:
While energy passes through the biosphere and can never be regenerated, elements may. This makes the movement of nutrients through the biosphere distinct from the transfer of energy.
What is the movement of basic elements in ecosystems?
The main distinction is that while the energy is ultimately lost from the ecosystem to the larger universe, the chemical nutrients are ultimately regenerated in the ecosystem.
Energy changes forms as it flows through an ecosystem, but no new energy is produced.
Similar to how matter cycles throughout an environment, no new matter is created as atoms are rearranged into other molecules. As a result, energy and matter are preserved throughout all ecosystem processes.
Therefore, the movement of basic elements in ecosystems, different from the transfer of energy.

Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. If a statement is false, explain why it is false. A. Generally, the total number of nonpolar amino acids has a greater effect on protein structure than the exact order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. B. The "polypeptide backbone" refers to all atoms in a polypeptide chain, except for those that form the peptide bonds. C. The chemical properties of amino acid side chains include charged, uncharged polar, and nonpolar. D. The relative distribution of polar and nonpolar amino acids in a folded protein is determined largely by hydrophobic interactions, which favor the clustering of nonpolar side chains in the interior.
A. False. The order in which amino acids are linked is unique for each protein and isthe most important factor in determining overall protein structure.
B. False. Peptide bonds are planar amide bonds that are central to the polypeptide
backbone formation. The atoms in the amino acid side chains are not considered
to be part of the backbone.
C. True.
D. True.
A. The total number of nonpolar amino acids has not a greater effect on protein structure than the exact order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is the false statement.
B. The atoms that form peptide bonds (which are a component of the backbone) and the atoms that link them are collectively referred to as the "polypeptide backbone". This backbone is made up of N-C-C.
C. The chemical properties of amino acid side chains having charged, uncharged polar, and nonpolar is the true statement.
D. The relative distribution of polar and nonpolar amino acids in a folded protein which is determined largely by hydrophobic interactions is the true statement.
Therefore, the correct options for A, B, C and D are False, False, True and True respectively.
The structure and function of a protein are influenced more by the particular amino acid sequence in its polypeptide chain than by the total amount of non-polar amino acids. "Polypeptide backbone" includes the N–C–C backbone as well as the atoms that bind to peptide bonds to generate them.
Amino acid side chains can be classified as having charged, uncharged polar or non-polar groups and exhibit a variety of chemical characteristics. Protein folding is fundamentally influenced by hydrophobic interactions, which cause nonpolar amino acids to assemble inside the protein, thereby improving stability and structure.
Therefore, the correct options for A, B, C and D are False, False, True and True respectively.

It is proposed that the periplasmic space of gram-negative bacteria is iso-osmotic relative to the cytosol. If true, this poses a challenge for these cells when having to deal with turgor pressure. For example, it is generally believed that the rigid periplasmic peptidoglycan layer of these cells could resist the force of turgor pressure if it were exerted outward across the inner plasma membrane; thus, preventing plasma membrane lysis. However, if the periplasm is iso-osmotic with the cytosol, as proposed, the outer membrane must be under stress from the outward force of turgor pressure. Given that it is not thought that the outer membrane is built to withstand high turgor pressure, propose a plausible mechanism for how these cells resist lysis of the outer membrane in the face of high, outward turgor pressure force.
Answer:
In case of these gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane (made of lipid) is firmly bound to the cell wall (made of peptidoglycan). This structure is responsible for maintaining cell integrity against the turgor pressure faced from the outside. Since this outer layer is more permeable to substances moving across the membrane, the next layer - the inner membrane - also adds support to withstand turgor pressure. It will not let an osmolyte (such as sucrose) diffuse through it, thereby maintaining the osmotic pressure in the periplasmic space.

Complete Question:
I made the grass diseased. This caused all of the populations above it (rabbit, snake, and hawk) to rapidly decrease over the 12 month period
(a) A major disturbance that the ecosystem was able to recover completely from __________
(b) A major disturbance that caused the ecosystem to stabilize at a new equilibrium ____________
(c) A major disturbance that caused the ecosystem to completely collapse __________
ANSWER:
(a) reducing the hawks to nearly zero
(b) removing all of the hawks
(c) removing all the diseased.
Explanation:
(a) reducing the hawks to nearly zero will cause low depletion of the producer (plants) and this will allow the plant to grow (without visible depletion) over a period of time.
(b) for the ecosystem to stabilize at a new equilibrium, the tertiary consumer (hawks) will be totally removed from the ecosystem. Since there's no tertiary consumer to checkmate the density of other components of the food chain, it will make it form a balanced ecosystem.
(c) for ecosystem to collapse, it's important to note that the removal of the producer (plants) will be bring about the loss of the ecosystem. Since, their is no manufacturer of food, the primary consumer (rabbit) in the food chain will be starved and overtime the rabbits will be wiped out and this will caused the loss of secondary and tertiary consumer in the long run.
The ecosystem is defined as the geographical area, in which animals, microbes, plants, along abiotic components live together to maintain equilibrium.
The correct blanks for the given statements are:
(a) reducing the hawks to nearly zero
(b) removing all of the hawks
(c) removing all the diseased.
The statements can be explained as:
(a) The reduction of hawks to zero will result in the depletion of plants or producers, and it will lead to the growth of the plants over a period of time.
(b) The ecosystem will be stabilized at a new equilibrium, the tertiary consumer or hawk if totally removed from the ecological niche.
(c) The ecosystem will be collapsed if the producers or the autotrophs deplete or vanish. The manufacturing of food will be halted and consumers dependent on producers will die and resulting in the collapse of the ecosystem.

In the summer squash, Cucurbita pepo, the fruit is normally disk-shaped. Two recessive mutations, g (globe) and r, (round), are known in different geographical races of the species, both of which cause fruit to be spherical. In crosses between homozygous g/g and r/r stocks, the F1 is always disk-shaped. However, when these F1 hybrids were interbred, it was discovered that squash plant homozygous recessive at both g and r make fruit that is elongated. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F2 from the cross of the F1 hybrids in Question 1?
Answer:
Let the interbred alleles be represente dy the letters A and B for two genes. Gene A will exist in two alleles, that will icnlude A and g while Gene B exists in two alleles, B and r.
The uppercase alleles are dominant to the lowercase alleles. The interbred long-shaped squash is AABB (aabb) and the true-breeding disk-shaped is ggrr AABB.The F1 offspring are AaBb.
The outcome of interbred of the F1 plants and genotypes and phenotype sof F2 for:
1) the disk-shaped phenotype, an offspring must inherit at least one dominant allele from both genes.
1 ggrr+ 2 Agrr+ 2 ggrB+ 4 AgBr = 9 disk-shaped offspring
2) To get the round phenotype, an offspring must inherit at least one dominant allele for one of the two genes but must be homozygous recessive for only one of the two genes.
1 ggrr+ 1 ggBB+ 2 AArB+ 2 gABB = 6 round-shaped offspring
3) To get the long phenotype, an offspring must inherit all recessive alleles:
1 AABB= 1 long-shaped offspring
Hence, the phenotype and genotype of F2 is is 9 disk-shaped offspring and 1 ggrr+ 2 Agrr+ 2 ggrB+ 4 AgBr; 6 round-shaped offspring and 1 ggrr+ 1 ggBB+ 2 AArB+ 2 gABB; and 1 long-shaped offspring and 1 ggrr+ 1 ggBB+ 2 AArB+ 2 gABB respectively.
While test crosses in pea plants can typically reveal the genotype of an unknown parent, crossing with a homozygous recessive cannot differentiate between homozygous dominant and heterozygous without a larger sample size. Epistasis in summer squash results in a 12 white:3 yellow:1 green phenotypic ratio when WwYy heterozygotes are crossed. The shepherd's-purse plant exhibits a 15 triangular:1 ovoid phenotypic ratio when AaBb plants are crossed.
Explanation:In pea plants, the allele for round peas (R) is dominant to the allele for wrinkled peas (r). When performing a test cross between a homozygous recessive plant with wrinkled peas (rr) and a plant of unknown genotype displaying round peas, and if all resulting offspring have round peas, we cannot conclusively determine if the round pea plant is homozygous dominant (RR) or heterozygous (Rr). This is because both genotypes can produce round pea offspring when crossed with a homozygous recessive (rr) plant. However, if the unknown parent were heterozygous (Rr), the probability of all three offspring displaying round peas is 1/23 because each offspring has a 1/2 chance of inheriting the dominant allele for round peas.
In the case of summer squash exhibiting epistasis, a cross between white heterozygotes (WwYy) for both the W and Y genes produces a phenotypic ratio of 12 white:3 yellow:1 green. Here, the presence of at least one dominant W allele masks the expression of the Y alleles, leading to white fruit regardless of the genotype of the Y gene.
Considering shepherd's-purse plant (Capsella bursa-pastoris), where seed shape is controlled by two genes, A and B, and triangular seeds occur if any dominant allele is present from either gene, the expected phenotypic ratio for a cross between plants that are heterozygous at both loci (AaBb x AaBb) is 15 triangular : 1 ovoid, as there are 15 genotypic combinations that contain at least one dominant allele, and only one genotypic combination that is homozygous recessive at both loci (aabb).
A large power point burns coal to generate electricity for nearby homes and businesses.
This contributes most directly to which short-term human-induced envrionmental change?
Answer:
Pollution
Explanation:
Burning of coal contributes most directly to an environmental change described as pollution.
Pollution is generally defined as the presence of substance in the environment at a level that disrupt the normal biotic functioning of the environment. Pollutants are substances whose level of concentration in the environment affects the normal biotic functioning of the environment.
The burning of coal leads to the release of harmful substances to the environment. These substances could be in form of gases such as oxides of carbon, sulfur and nitrogen that are capable of causing acid rain and global warming, heavy metals such as mercury and lead, as well as particulate matters.
Heavy metals are harmful to organisms when they find their ways into the food chains while particulate matters in the atmosphere reduce visibility and are capable of causing damages to properties when they are deposited on them.
Ashes remains from coal burning are also capable of causing pollution to nearby lakes and water bodies when they are washed down. This will lead to the disturbance of lives in the aquatic environment and decrease the quality of the water bodies for various uses.

What does the arboreal hypothesis suggest about the reason why primates have the unique features, such as opposable thumbs, that they have on their hand?
Answer:
Arboreal hypothesis suggest that primates have the unique features, such as opposable thumbs which occurs due to the adaptation of the body to the external environment.
Explanation:
Primates are those organisms that have some unique characters which are not present in other mammals such as their brain has big in size and there is a gap between fingers which helps them to hold things more precisely and tightly. These organisms belongs to kingdom animalia, class mammalia and order primates. Example of primates are monkeys and humans etc.
Answer:
This is the the physical adaptation to survive in this habitat(in the air/on the trees). the opposite thumbs allows easy grasping of three branches for locomotion within the trees, and from tree to tress,to easily pick up any objects, and to eat with one hands while maintaining balance on the tree with another hands.
Thus this opposable thumbs ensures precision and power.

Once DNA was shown to be the primary genetic material of life, a race among scientists took place to work out its structure. Which concept came from studying the amounts of each DNA base in different organisms?
Final answer:
The concept that came from studying the amounts of each DNA base in different organisms is base composition, which led to the discovery of Chargaff's rules.
Explanation:
The concept of studying the amounts of each DNA base in different organisms is known as base composition. Base composition refers to the relative proportions of the four DNA bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) in a DNA molecule. This concept was crucial in understanding the physical structure of DNA and how it accounts for the genes in different organisms.The study of base composition led to the discovery that the amount of adenine is roughly equal to the amount of thymine, and the amount of cytosine is roughly equal to the amount of guanine in a DNA molecule. This is known as Chargaff's rules. Different species have different percentages of each base, which contributes to the genetic diversity across organisms.Will mark Brainliest and 5 stars (:

Answer:
the bat and the racoon share a common ancestor.
Explanation:
what is described in this question are homologous structures, which indicate common ancestry. hope this helps!
The bones in bat wings and raccoon paws serving as homologous structures indicate a common evolutionary ancestor. Conversely, analogous structures like bat and insect wings evolved independently through convergent evolution.
Explanation:The question is exploring the concept of homologous structures, which is a fundamental idea in comparative anatomy and evolutionary biology. The similarity in skeletal structures between the wings of a bat and the paws of a raccoon indicates that they share a common evolutionary ancestor, despite the different functions their limbs have evolved to fulfill. This indicates a common evolutionary past and is evidence of divergent evolution, where related species evolve different traits.
In contrast, structures that are similar in function and appearance but do not share an origin in a common ancestor, like the wings of bats and insects, are called analogous structures. These arise through convergent evolution, where similar environmental pressures result in similar solutions in unrelated lineages.

Describe one way the skeletal system helps the immune system function.
Answer:
The skeletal system is vital in supporting the immune system because : Bones contain marrow, a porous material which creates both white and red blood cells. This replenishment of cells allows the body to fight and expel harmful bacteria, environmental toxins, foreign material e.t.c.
The white blood cells formed by the marrow are instrumental in isolating and destroying harmful particles (either on the site or in lymph nodes), or transporting them to the kidneys or bowels for excretion.
NOTE : Some people have marrow disorders which prevent their marrow from forming new cells; this is caused most often by cancer. Today, it is possible to transplant marrow from a healthy individual to a sick patient, and so help their bone marrow form new white and red blood cells to fight their sickness.

The correct option is B i.e. Commercial fishing, because fish cannot survive without oxygen
Commercial fishing is most affected by the increasing number of ocean dead zones because fish cannot survive in areas depleted of oxygen. Dead zones are caused by eutrophication and human activities such as fertilizer runoff.
A dead zone is a section of a freshwater or marine ecosystem where a significant portion of the native vegetation and animals has disappeared. Eutrophication, oil spills, the disposal of hazardous substances, and other human activities can all result in these zones. There were more than 400 dead zones in existence as of 2008; this number has been rising for a while. Fertilizer runoff from the Mississippi River basin has generated a dead zone spanning over 8,463 square miles in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of the United States, which is one of the worst dead zones in the world. The Chesapeake Bay in the eastern United States is one of the lake and bay ecosystems that are badly impacted by fertilizer runoff containing phosphate and nitrate.The human activity most affected by the increasing number of dead zones in the ocean is commercial fishing because fish cannot survive without oxygen (Option B).Part 1: Below is a pedigree that is used to trace sickle cell anemia in a family.
