Answer: c) Endemic
Explanation:
Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat
Answer:
(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.
Explanation:
CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.
They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.
During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.
Answer:
Repolarization
Explanation:
Complete repolarization is achieved by the sodium pump. This actively pumps all the Na+ ti the outside and all the K+ to the inside. The pump requires energy in the form of ATP and is inhibited by metabolic poisons. Entry of Na+ is immediately followed by an increase in the permeability of the membrane to K+. These diffuse rapidly to the outside due to the concentration gradient. Being positively charged, the K+ reverses the polarity of the membrane making the outside positive.
Answer:
Less energy is transferred at each level of the food chain so the biomass gets smaller. As a result, there are usually fewer than five trophic levels in food chains.
Answer:
3. An Apple Turning Brown
Explanation:
When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products.
