In the spermatheca, females of many insect species, including honeybee queens, can store gametes secreted by their sex partners.

<h3>What is Spermatheca ?</h3>

The female insect's spermatheca is an ectodermal structure that receives, stores, and releases sperm for egg fertilization. According to the species, spermathecae differ in size and shape.

  • They often come from the median oviduct, which is located close or on the genital chamber. A secretory duct called the ductus seminalis connects the spermathecal sac, also known as the receptaculum seminis, to the genital chamber, where the sperm are released.
  • The number of spermathecas varies among taxa, however the majority of insects only have one. Depending on the species of insect, the spermatheca has different morphologies. The spermatheca is composed of the spermathecal gland, duct, and reservoir. Both of these fluids feed the sperm. Both the spermathecal glands and the male accessory glands secrete substances that feed the sperm.

So lastly we can say that, t females of many insect species, including honeybee queens, can store gametes shed by their mating partners in - the spermatheca.

Is it true that ocean biomes contain a wider biodiversity than land biomes why or why not?
EastWind [94]
The difficulty with this answer, lies in the fact that not all of land and ocean biomes have been completely explored. The ocean is vast, covering approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, with literally vertical miles or kilometers of depth, and with some areas with sparse to no biodiversity. The same can be said about certain areas of large deserts with very low levels of biodversity, void of life, like vast deserts of the Sahara or Gobi. But, the Amazon rain forest contains still unknown species of plant and animal life, just like the ocean. Because of its vastness, intellectually, I would say  the ocean contains more biodiversity, but the answer is scientifically, as of now, yet to be proven one way or the other.

Large changes in temperature and acidity interfere with enzyme activity by _
ankoles [38]

Answer: Denaturing

Explanation: Enzymes are made of amino acids that are linked by bonds, amongst those bonds are hydrogen bonds that are very weak. High temperatures and low pH(acidity) breaks those bonds changing the molecular conformation of the enzymes. That way they denature and loss the ability to perform their functions. High temperatures and acidity alter the structure of their active site preventing the substrate from binding to them. While high temperatures denatures enzymes, low temperature renders them inactive.
