A land developer and several ecologists are discussing how a parcel of private land should be developed with housing while savin

g 20 hectares as natural habitat. The land developer suggests that the 20 hectares be divided into 20 separate 1 -hectare areas, spread out across the area. The ecologists suggest that it would be better to have one intact parcel of 20 hectares on one side of the larger area. What is the significance of these different arrangements of the 20 hectares?
(A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels. (B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another. (C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects. (D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.

<h3>What is a Ecologist?</h3>

In the 1990s, the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park garnered widespread media attention and significantly increased the park's biodiversity. Unfortunately, the spread of exotic species like zebra mussels, Kudzu vines, and Burmese pythons in other regions of the United States more than offsets this success for native ecology.

The diverse roles that different species play in their communities make changes to those ecosystems very disruptive. Ecologists can aid us in making better decisions that reduce the effects of our actions on other species and the world by deepening our understanding of how nature functions.

An oil tanker is leaking, causing hundreds of gallons of oil to spill into the ocean. Special bacteria are sprinkled on the oil
Anastaziya [24]

Genetically-engineered bacteria are sprinkled on the oil to digest it.

Explanation:

Genetically engineered or modified microorganisms (GEM or GMO) like bacteria are engaged to digest oil spills through the process called bioremediation.

The enzymatic action of these specialized bacteria to degrade or decompose and remove harmful environmental contaminants. When a leakage occurs in a oil tanker, all the gallons of oil stored in it are leaded into the ocean which poses a very huge danger for the marine environment and to all the biotic factors including humans who are dependent on the marine environment.

Removing the oil spill from the ocean waters is very tough and utilizing such novel technology will be very useful. Bacteria like Alcanivorax, Methylocella are commonly engaged to remove oil spills. These bacteria acts by breaking the hydrocarbon bonds of the oil and will digest and clean the oil spill.

What is enzyme, a substrate and competitive enzyme inhibition?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Enzyme: A biomolecule that speed up the rate of chemical reactions without being used up.

Substrate: A substance or chemical that enter the chemical reaction and is being converted into a new substance  (product).

Competitive enzyme inhibition: Inhibition of enzyme's activity by binding of inhibitor to substrate binding site of the enzyme.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the biomolecules that serve to increase the rate of reactions by lowering down the required activation energy. The enzyme is never used up during reactions.  

Substrates are the chemicals that undergo a chemical change and produce products.  

For example, Glucose is the substrate for hexokinase enzyme and is converted into glucose 6 phosphate (the product).

When the inhibitor competes with the substrate for the binding site on the enzyme and does not allow the substrate to bind to the enzyme, the process is called competitive enzyme inhibition. It can be overcome by increasing the concentration of substrate in the system.
