Which of the two tubes “tube 2” or “tube 3” is more likely to grow in diverse niches or conditions.
Concept introduction:
Bacteria are classified into different categories based on the utilization and need of the oxygen by the cell. These categories include aerobic bacteria, anaerobic bacteria, facultative anaerobes, microaerophiles, and aerotolerant anaerobes.

The following figure depicts the outline of a large fairy ring that has appeared overnight in an
open meadow, as viewed from above. The fairy ring represents the furthest advance of this
mycelium through the soil. Locations A-D are all 0.5 metres below the soil surface.

В
D
1. Which type of organisms made this structure (it wasn't a fairy!)? What is mycelium? Explain in
one sentence each.
2. Which location (A-D) most likely indicates the oldest part of this organism? Explain in 1-2
sentences.
In the space below, diagram generalized haplontic, diplontic, and alternation of generations life cycles.
Make sure to indicate whether each stage in the life cycle is haploid or diploid, and unicellular or
multicellular. Also write the stage's name (e.g., zygote, gametophyte, spore, etc.) if it has one. You don't
need to draw the stages - e.g., for a zygote you can just write "zygote, unicellular, 2N". Also make sure
to indicate where exactly in the life cycle meiosis takes place. Please draw and label these as
possible
clearly
as
Haplontic
Diplontic
Alternation of generations
In a shallow coastal ecosystem dominated by seagrasses, nutrient limit primary production under low nutrient ( oligrtropihc) conditions while light becomes the limiting factor under high nutrient ( eutrophic) condition. In the conceptual model given explain why sea grasses, macroalgae and poluplantkon are in the position of the graph. Kindly explain your answer

When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having rhizobial nodules. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia. The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia to keep the nitrogen for itself. When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.arrow_forwardannual rings exposed edge Figure 3.

Some farmers, especially those who grow produce at a smaller scale, use pesticides sparingly. For example, fruit trees are susceptible to disease in northeastern regions, especially at the blossom stage. An apple or peach grower may spray their fruit trees with a fungicide once in the spring to ensure that the fruit sets, but use no further chemicals for the rest of the season. For many large row crop farmers, on the other hand, regular pesticide use is as much a part of farming as planting seeds. Spraying Roundup on a field of corn genetically engineered to withstand the chemical kills! the weeds without affecting the corn. In comparison to mechanically weeding hundreds or thousands of acres, using pesticides is a game-changer. Some farmers spray their…arrow_forward
