What is the main idea of the passage?

Human activity, such as burning fossil fuels and clearing forests, is a primary cause of increasing carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere.


Humans add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere faster than the Earth’s biological processes can remove it.


The burning of fossil fuels contributes to the increase of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere.


Since carbon dioxide contributes to climate change, it is important to understand where and when carbon is released into the atmosphere.

Alaskan Wood Frogs can freeze up to 60 percent of their body. The frogs build up their glucose (sugar) concentrations in tissues and organs of the frog. This
helps prevent the cells in the tissues from shrinking or dying

Which of the following BEST explains how this adaptation increases the probability the Alaskan Wood Frog will survive in this environment?

When food sources are scarce, this allows the frog to survive until more food is readily available.

Due to the large terrain of Alaska, the frog can freeze itself to preserve energy while traveling across the state.

When harsh winter conditions develop in the area, the frog can prevent the change in the environment from affecting its homeostatic processes.

As predators seek out the frog, its senses allow it to notify the internal processes to freeze. This prevents the predator from being notified there is prey

Public Domain A B C D

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

By the law of superposition, the oldest rocks are the bottom layer of quaternary rock, labeled. The correct option is A.

What is the law of superposition?

One of the geological laws that geologists use to calculate the relative ages of strata or layers, is the law of superposition. According to this theory, rock layers are stacked or deposited one on top of the other.

The bottom will have the oldest rock strata and the top will have the youngest. Quaternary rocks are considered as oldest rocks. They can be 2.6 million years ago.

With climatic changes and the heat and pressure from the earth's crust, the rocks evolve and convert into quaternary rocks.

Thus, the correct option is A. the bottom layer of quaternary rock is labeled.

In Mendel's monohybrid cross of purple-flowered and white-flowered peas, all members of the F1 generation had the __________ phenotype because their genotype was __________ at the flower-color locus.

Answers

Answer:

All members of the F1 generation  had the Purple phenotype because their genotype was Pp at the flower locus.

Explanation:

Monohybrid cross is a cross involving one trait(for example Flower color).

When Mendel crossed true breeding  pea plants that differed in flower color ie Purple flowered pea plant(PP) is crossed with White flowered pea plant(pp),all the seeds of F1 generation were purple.

The white flower trait did not appear in the F1 generation because the purple flower trait completely masked the white flower trait . Thus ,Purple flower trait (PP) is dominant over white flower trait(pp).

So,although the genotype of F1 seeds is Pp,the phenotype is purple flower color because the allele" P" is completely dominant over the allele "p".

Explanation:

Similarity between mitosis and meiosis is the production of DNA and both passes through the same phases of cell division. Mitosis cell division occur in somatic or body cell whereas meiosis occur in sex cell of plants and animals. Daughter cells that is produced in mitosis are diploid i. e. double number of chromosome while on the other hand, daughter cells that is produced in meiosis are haploid i. e. half number of chromosome.

Bacteria that act as producers in an ecosystem by using energy from chemicals in the environment to make carbon compounds such as glucose are called:

a
chemoheterotrophs
b
photoheterotrophs
c
photoautotrophs
d
chemoautotrophs

Answers

Answer:

D) chemoautotrophs

Explanation:

Chemoautotrophs are cells that create their own energy and biological materials from inorganic chemicals.

In nature, “autotrophs” are organisms that don’t need to eat because they make their own biological materials and energy. This term comes from the Greek “auto” for “self” and “troph” for “to eat” or “to feed.”

Autotrophs form the basis for all food chains: they are the organisms which create sugars, proteins, lipids, and other materials for life. All other organisms survive by eating autotrophs, or other organisms that are fed by the autotroph food chain.

The two major types of autotrophs are chemoautotrophs and photoautotrophs. Photoautotrophs use energy from sunlight to make their biological materials. These include green plants and photosynthesizing algae.

This flow chart may be useful in determining whether an organism is an autotroph, and if so, which kind it is:

Troph flow chart

Chemoautotrophs, on the other hand, derive energy for their life functions from inorganic chemicals. They feed on chemicals that are good electron donors, such as hydrogen sulfide, sulfur, or iron.

Like all autotrophs, chemoautotrophs are able to “fix” carbon. They take atoms of carbon from inorganic compounds, such as carbon dioxide, and using it to make organic compounds such as sugars, proteins, and lipids.

Chemoautotrophs are commonly found in environments where plants cannot survive, such as at the bottom of the ocean, or in acidic hot springs.

Some types of chemoautotrophs also play critical roles in plant-based ecosystems. Although plants perform carbon fixation in these ecosystems, many plants rely on chemoautotroph bacteria to fix nitrogen, which is necessary to make amino acids and proteins.

Function of Chemoautotroph

Basis of Ecosystems Without Sunlight

Chemoautotrophs form the basis of the energy pyramid for ecosystems where photosynthesizers can’t survive. Without chemoautotrophs, life would only be able to exist where energy could be derived from sunlight.

They are the basis of some deep sea ecosystems, such as those existing around deep sea hydrothermal vents.

Scientists have speculated that chemoautotrophs could form the basis of life on planets which receive less sunlight than earth.

Nitrogen Fixation

One type of chemoautotroph, Nitrosomonas, plays the crucially important role of fixing nitrogen in the soil of some ecosystems. Like most chemoautotrophs, Nitrosomonas can take toxic chemicals – in this case ammonia – and turn it into materials for life.

Nitrosomonas harvests nitrogen from ammonia, and fixes it into organic compounds which can then be used to produce amino acids, proteins, and other crucial materials for life.

Possible Origin of Life

We have no fossils of the first cells on Earth, so we are not able to say at this time what they were like. We know that they had to be autotrophs, since they would have had to produce all of their own organic materials.

Some scientists think that the first cells were likely photoautotrophs, deriving energy form sunlight – but other scientists think the first cells may have been chemoautotrophs, and that photosynthesis may have evolved later.

If true, this would make all of us descendants of chemoautotrophs!

Examples of Chemoautotrophs

Nitrosomonas

Nitrosomonas is a genus of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

As you may have guessed, “nitrogen fixation” means taking nitrogen from inorganic compounds, such as ammonia, and assembling it into organic compounds, such as amino acids.

Nitrogen fixation is crucial for many ecosystems, even some which rely primarily on plants. Many plants cannot fix their own nitrogen – meaning that they require nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil, or they cannot obtain the nitrogen compounds they need to live.

Nitrogen fixation is an extremely important concept in agriculture, where many crops cannot perform nitrogen fixation themselves. To ensure that the soil contains enough organic nitrogen compounds to grow, farmers much either make sure that there are enough nitrogen-fixing bacteria present to sustain their crops, or add artificial nitrogen compounds in the form of fertilizers.

Of note, some nitrogen-fixing bacteria have developed permanent symbiotic relationships with certain plant species. These include the symbiotic bacteria found in nodules on the roots of “nitrogen-fixing” plants such as legumes. However, these nitrogen-fixing bacteria are not chemoautotrophs, as they have evolved to rely upon their plant hosts for food. They are no longer autotrophs, as they are no longer able to feed themselves.

Other types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria remain independent, and are still chemoautotrophs.

Read the excerpt below and then answer the question that follows:The Book of DragonsChapter III The Deliverers of Their Country, an excerptBy E. NesbitIt all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot sparkonly it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and criednot real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mindand then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was naturalrather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes."Oh, yesit's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscopethen he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye."Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes.""You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoonspread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief."It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch longwith scales and wings.So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings."Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadaysand at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.Why does the author continue to have the creatures appear in a variety of places in this story?
