Biology Questions

The given statement that all cells divide at the same rate is FALSE.

No, all cells do not divide at the same rate. Cells that require frequent replenishing, such as skin or intestinal cells, may only take roughly twelve hours to complete a cell cycle. Other cells, such as liver cells, remain in a resting state (interphase) for up to a year before undergoing division.

The correct pairing of DNA bases among the given options is guanine - cytosine.

No, the given statement is False.

Parasites are organisms that feed on other organisms causing harm to them.

Foods that allow micro organisms to grow are called Growth Mediums.

Asbestos can cause

•  Lungs

• Gastrointestinal tract  types of Cancer.

Benzene can cause

• Leukemia

• Hodgkin's lymphoma types of Cancer.

Cadmium can cause

• Prostate type of Cancer.

A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers.

Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.

Tertiary consumers often occupy the top trophic level, and so are predated by no other animals; in this case they are called "apex predators". However, when they die their bodies will be consumed by scavengers and decomposers.

Biological Control: This method is very effective. One pest is destroyed by another organism. For example the aphids are killed by lady beetle. The prickly pear is eradicted by cochineal insect. Here the advantage is, one does not use harmful chemicals which may get into the host plants.
