Decomposers are not included in any food chain. Why?

Answer»

Becuase they could go at both ends.Their exact position can't really be pinpointed, sincethey could go in at any point.

The decomposer would supply nourishment to, say, grass. Then that grass would be eaten by a rabbit or some herbivore/omnivore, which might get eaten by a carnivore. But when the carnivore dies, the decomposer would come back into the equation and break down the carnivore, thus giving to the grass or other vegetation, creating a loop. Also, the decomposer could come in at any point should any other link die; the decomposer would just break it down again.In conclusion, the decomposer breaks down ANY dead things, whether producer or any level consumer. It can also give nourishment to plants, so it can go in anywhere. It's simpler not to include a decomposer.

What would happen to the life of a cell if there was no golgi apparatus?

Answer»

Golgi apparatus plays the important role of packaging various substances for further use or for storage. If there was no Golgi apparatus, various substances would not be in a position to be transformed in proper forms for further use. Certain substances; like protein and lipid are important for the formation of plasma membrane and hence absence of Golgi apparatus will hamper the formation of new cells during cell division.

If golgi complex is absent then tissue will never exist since golgi helps in packing of protein and lipids

grafting is a common method of obtaining a superior plant from two different plants . explain

Answer»

Grafting is a process in which parts of two different plants known as stock and scion are joined together to form a new plant. Here stock is mostly root and placed on lower side and scion can be stem, leave or flower and placed above the stock. After placing them together both are fixed using rope or cloth so that they can give rise to a new plant.

This method is mostly used to overcome some drawbacks of both the varieties that are used. For example if we have two varieties of same species, one (variety A)is able to produce sweet fruits with less juice while other (variety B)produce fruits with less sweetness but more juice. This means that variety A has good transport system but weak absorption power of roots whereas variety B has good absorption power of roots but weak transport system. If we take stock from variety B and scion from variety A and join them than we will get a plant that have sweet and juicy fruits.

This example shows that grafting can be used to obtain a superior plant from two different plants.
