How should I answer this?

Explain the argument that species should be saved because they have ecological value.

What concepts should be stated here.

I'm not sure what context the question is being asked in, but... you could explore a number of different things in your answer.
1. You could talk about foodchains and how higher-order predators are essential for keeping the population numbers of animals lower down the food chain in check.

2. You could talk about symbiotic relationships and how species contribute to the survival of other species.

2. You could talk about how humans benefit from biodiversity (think about our food, the medicinal uses of plants, oxygen, and fresh water). In order to link this back to ecological value you could make a statement about how the ecological value of species is what helps to maintain the biodiversity of species we depend on.

The cell cycle for eukaryotics is interphase, mitosis, and then cytokinesis.
the cell cycle for prokaryotics is meiosis and meiosis is either sexual or asexual reproduction. Is this right? Thanks

Incorrect because prokaryotes undergo binary fission (similar to mitosis but not exactly the same) which is a form of asexual reproduction. Meiosis is strictly for the production of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms
