The species likely living in an ecosystem on the other side of the mountain farthest from the coast is the cactus.

Cacti are evergreen plants. Their stems might be meaty or succulent, cylindrical or flattened.
The stems are green in colour and photosynthetic, usually fulfilling this job instead of leaves, which are scarce or nonexistent in most adult cacti.

Most cactus species are well-defended by spiky bristles and spines that repel most animals.

Cacti are xerophytic plants, which means they are physiologically and morphologically suited to the high water shortages of dry ecosystems like deserts.

Cacti's xerophytic adaptations include (1) succulent, water-retaining stems, (2) a thick, waxy cuticle, and few or no leaves to decrease water losses through transpiration.

Consider the diagram of the basic structure of a bacterium.

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

There is no diagram but the needed information has been provided. The answer is:

Part C

Explanation:

The bacteria is a prokaryotic living organism in the domain Bacteria. It is pretty because it lacks a membrane-bound nucleus that houses its genetic material (DNA), instead its circular chromosome is found naked in a region of the cytoplasm called NUCLEOID. The nucleoid region contains the genetic material of the bacterium cell.

Since bacteria reproduces asexually, which does not allow diversity among species, bacteria ensures they promote genetic recombination by exchanging their genetic material in three ways: Transduction, Transformation and Conjugation. This genetic recombination causes them to be better pathogens and improve their resistance. However , since the exchange involves the genetic material (DNA), it is only natural that it involves the region where it is found, which is the NUCLEOID.

Phosphorylation cascades involving a series of protein kinases are useful for cellular signal transduction because:

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. they amplify the original signal manyfold.

Explanation:

A phosphorylation cascade is a chain or sequence of the reactions that are categorized by the events where one enzyme phosphorylation another up-to phosphorylation of thousands of proteins.

The phosphorylation cascade can be experienced in involving the protein kinases as they the signal transduction of different cellular hormone messages due to their ability to amplify the original signal multiple time and make it more effective.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

the eastern kingbird hunts by catching flying insects in mid-air, an approach which requires impressive and energetic acrobatic

tangare [24]

It is safe to assume that the eastern kingbird will have a type 2 functional response to an increase in prey abundance.

The functional response, in ecology, is a data-based description of the behavior of certain animals' consumption rates in response to a change in prey density. This can be of three kinds:

Type 1: An increase in consumption
Type 2: A decrease in consumption
Type 3: Decreased consumption, followed by a quick increase.

The Eastern kingbird is likely to follow a type 1 functional response to the presence of more prey. The reason for this, aside from it being the most common response, is that the eastern kingbird consumes insects, which do not provide a great amount of energy, in a way that consumes much energy. Therefore it is logical to assume that the kingbird will consume more prey to better sustain its rigorous feeding habits.
