- Bryophytes can be found in every type of habitation, except in the oceans, thus reflecting the progressive species expansion occurred along the evolution. However, bryophytes rarely succeed in the ecosystem. Why do you think so? Give three reasons.A hypothetical community on a barren mid-Atlantic island consists of two fish-eating seabirds (the booby and the noddy), the fungi and microorganisms that live on the birds' dung, a tick that feeds on these two birds, a cactus, a moth that feeds on cast-off feathers, a beetle that lives on dung organisms, and spiders that eat the other arthropods. There are no other plants and no lichens. Which of the following choices incorrectly pairs a member of this assemblage with its position in the trophic structure? Group of answer choices: cactus, producer spiders, secondary consumer moths, detritivores fungi, detritivores booby and noddy birds, primary consumersThe blue-green bacteria (also called cyanobacteria) in some lichens are capable of nitrogen fixation. Why would this be especially advantageous in early stages of ecological succession?
- Which of the following describes a mutualistic relationship between insects and multicellular plants? Interactions between Rhizobium and the Fabaceae family Interactions between mycorrhizae and trees Interactions related to acacia trees Lichens Corals and Zooxanthellae Interactions between a host and a cleaner speciesMatch the following clades with the characteristics that they share Clades: Bryophytes and Tracheophyta Embryophyta and Charophycea Chlorophyta and Streptophyta Bryophytes and Tracheophyta Characteristics: -Chlorophylls a and b are autotrophic -Alternation of generations -Rosettes in the plasma membrane -Sporangia with walled sporesWhich of the following is NOT an adaptation among plants to increase access to nitrogen? Mutualistic association with fungi that convert atmospheric nitrogen into a biologically available form Carnivory of insects and other invertebrates None of the above are adaptations that increase access to nitrogen All of the above are adaptations that increase access to nitrogen Mutualistic association with bacteria that live within the root tissue and convert atmospheric nitrogen into a biologically available form
- How would the utilitarian and inherent value of biodiversity benefit society as a whole?The flora of the Core Cape Region is regarded as a global biodiversity hotspot. It is exceptional in many ways, and has a diversity comparable to that of some islands in the Pacific Ocean. Discuss this statement in the form of a short essay in which you present supporting evidence. You should make reference to the composition of the flora, levels of endemism, special features and ecology that contributed to the evolution of this flora.The following classification contains the class, domain, family, genus, kingdom, order, phylum & species (but not in that order) of the Longleaf Pine. They are arranged from the broadest category to the most specific: Eukarya --> Plantae --> Pinophyta --> Pinopsida --> Pinales --> Pinaceae --> Pinus --> Pinus palustris. Which one is the family?Group of answer choices A. Pinales B. Pinaceae C. Eukarya D. Pinus E. Pinus palustris
- Every time a species becomes extinct, we lose a potential source of medicine for human illness. Since we do not know which species are likely to provide valuable medicines, it is difficult to know where to focus conservation efforts. If you were in charge of determining high priorities for species conservation in a country, with the goal of identifying plants with medicinal value, what factors would you consider in making your decisions?Identify which of the following are autotrophs, and which are heterotrophs. ________1.Grass ________2. Dais________3. Plankton ________4. Bee ________ 5.Seaweed ________ 6. Horse ________ 7. Human Being ________ 8. lichen ________ 9. Narra ________ 10. Rhodoferax ________ 11. Cat ________ 12.
