No long explanation needed.arrow_forwardImagine walking through a tropical rainforest. You notice that there are different types of trees, birds, insects, and other organisms. A few weeks later you are taking a walk through the desert and notice that the trees, birds, insects, and other organisms are different than those you saw in the rainforest. Which of the following statements best explains the differences between each of these ecological systems? Organisms in each ecological system are there by chance and their presence in different ecological systems does not have a biological explanation. Organisms in each ecological system have short dispersal distances and are confined to populations in the area where they mate. Organisms in each ecological system have not had enough time to evolve the adaptations for the other ecosystem; with enough time they will evolve into the other ecological system.

Two groups of lean mice were injected, one with fecal material from obese mice (ob / o * b) and the other with fecal material from other lean mice. Both groups of mice were fed the same food. Their food intake and their gain in body weight were measured. This study is an example of which kind(s) of scientific method used in ecology?

Based on your reading, state the type of relationship they have, the symbols for that type of relationship, and the evidence you used to explain and support your decision.arrow_forwardENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY is the evolution theory that includes a larger and one smaller cell. The larger cell act as a host and the smaller cell is called the endosymbiont that is engulfed by the host cell. The larger cell referred to eukaryotic cell and the smaller cell represent prokaryotic cell. BIOMOLECULE, also called biological molecule, any of numerous substances that are produced by cells and living organisms. Biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
