A small insect has started to overpopulate in a local forest. This has caused a number of plants and shrubs to die because they
are the insect’s primary food source. Deer also eat these plants and shrubs, which is causing them to have to travel further to find additional food. What is the MOST likely reason this insect’s population has started to grow? There was an especially cold winter, and it caused a higher insect population.
A predator that typically eats the insect has started to disappear from the forest.
A dry summer caused plant life to decrease and insect reproduction to increase.
The population of a predator that typically eats the insect has started to increase.
The most likely reason this insect’s population has started to grow is that apredator that typically eats the insect has started to disappear from the forest. That is option B.
<h3>What is predator?</h3>
A predator is an animal that has the ability to hunt other smaller animals called prey, for food.
The insects where able to multiple and overpopulate in a local forest because the number of animals ( the predators) that fed on them has drastically reduced.
This effect in the population size of the insects is so because as predators decrease numbers of prey increase.
A temperature inversion is a thin layer of the atmosphere where the normal decrease in temperature with height switches to the temperature increasing with height. An inversion acts like a lid, keeping normal convective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through the inversion.
The translation is the process during which the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is complementary to the template DNA strand. According to the sequence of the nucleotides in the mRNA, the amino acids are added in a specific order to make the polypeptide chains. The process occurs on ribosomes. The ribosomes move along the mRNA to read its sequence and the tRNA brings are amino acids to be added to the polypeptide chains.
The tissue tropism can be define as the ability of the microbe to infect specific cells and tissues of the host that supports the growth of particular microbe like virus and bacteria.
Some viruses have broad tissue tropism they can infect many cell types. Other viruese can infect only single cell or tissue type.
When calcium concentration increases during depolarization, it shifts the conformation of troponin and tropomyosin, and actin is able to associate with myosin. As calcium is taken up again by the sarcoplasmic reticulum the muscle cell relaxes.
