Chapter 24, Problem 1A
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Ecosystem is the interaction between the biotic and the abiotic components of the ecosystem. It comprises of the herbivore, carnivore, soil, air water and many more entities.

Answer to Problem 1A

Correct answer:

In an ecosystem, the producers are responsible for converting the solar energy to the stored energy found in the organic compound. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

Herbivores convert the solar energy into chemical energy.

Option (c) is given as “producers”.

As “in an ecosystem, the producers are responsible for converting the solar energy to the stored energy found in organic compound”, it is the right answer

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Reason for the incorrect statement:

Option (a) is given as “herbivores”.
Herbivores consume the producers and utilize energy from them. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “decomposers”.
Decomposers are the organisms that derive energy from dead and decaying matter. So, it is a wrong answer

Option (d) is given as “carnivores”.
Carnivores derive energy from consuming other animals. So, it is a wrong answer

Option (e) is given as “none of these are correct”.
As the producers are responsible for converting the solar energy to the stored energy found in the organic compound. So, it is a wrong answer

Hence, options (a), (b), (d) and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

In an ecosystem, the producers are responsible for converting the solar energy to the stored energy found in organic compound.

Alleles at the P locus control seed color. Plants which are pp have white seeds, white flowers and no pigment in vegetative parts. Plants which are P_ have black seeds, purple flowers and may have varying degrees of pigment on stems and leaves. Seed color can be assessed, visually, based on if the seed is white or not white A gene for mold resistance has been reported and we want to determine its inheritance and whether it is linked to P. For the purposes of this exercise, we will assume that resistance is controlled by a single locus M, and M_ plants are resistant and mm plants are susceptible.  Resistance can be measured, under greenhouse conditions, 2 weeks after planting, by injecting each seedling with a spore suspension. After two weeks, the seedlings can be rated as resistant or susceptible, based on whether or not tissue is actively sporulating. For this exercise we will use seed and data from the F10 generation of a recombinant inbred population produced using single seed…
