Compare mechanical, chemical, and legislative control to the use of nonnative species as a control method.

1 answer:

3 0

Non native species are organisms that do not naturally occur in a given area. They may have been transferred either accidentally or deliberately from their place of origin to the new area through human activities.

Non native species may become invasive species if they cause harm to the economy, human health, or environment.

Control methods used to eliminate invasive species are:
1) mechanical - physically removing the invasive species or changing the habitat condition of the affected area.
2) chemical - using of pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides to kill off invasive species.
3) legislative - introducing the natural enemy of the invasive species. It may be a predator or parasite that is from its native range.

DCCD (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) inhibits oxidative phosphorylation when the substrate is mitochondrial NADH. DCCD is a drug that

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

A) Decreases cellular energy production

B) DCCD also affects K+ transport

Explanation:

A) Consequences are of DCCD on cellular energy production: <em>Decreases cellular energy production</em>

ATP-synthase pump is composed of two subunits: F1 catalytic subunit that synthesizes ATP, and F0 proton pumping subunits, that transport H+ through the membrane. F1 subunit might act independently of F0 to produce ATP, but this molecule can not be released without H+ gradient, which generates a movement necessary for ATP release from the catalytic center.

When any of the parts composing F0 react with DCCD, the subunit can not transport H+ through the membrane. DCCD inhibits the enzyme activity by blocking the protons´ flow.

As DCCD blocks the protons´ flow, and the protons´ flow is necessary to release the ATP molecule from the F1 subunit, no other ADP + Pi can enter to F1 subunit, and the production of ATP stops.

B) Other cellular effects of DCCD

There seem to be other effects of DCCD on cell activity, some of which are still under study. To name a few:

Diimide from DCCD seems to stimulate cytochrome b reduction and inhibits its reoxidation by ferricyanide.
When exposing the cell to high concentrations of DCCD for a long time, might occur an alteration in the electron transporting chain
Inhibition of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase activity when exposing the cell to high concentrations of DCCD.
Inhibition of K+ transport, associated with the inhibition of H+ transport.

Concerning the effect of DCCD on the K+ transport, DCCD stops the extrusion of H+ and the consequent intrusion of K+.

DCCD strongly inhibits the simultaneous flow of H+ and K+. First, it inhibits H+ flow, acidification of the environment stops, but at this point, K+ keeps moving through the membrane. Once the H+ flow has ceased, the K+ flow slowly decreases until it finally stops moving. There is a lag time in the DCCD effect on K+ flow to the instantaneous effect on H+ flow.

Most biologists believe that _____.

MissTica

The right answer is C.

Classically positive interactions or facilitators between species are divided into two broad categories:

- those where the two partners involved benefit from each other: the mutualisms (symbolized by + / +)

- those where one of the two partners makes a profit or an advantage while the other gets nothing from it without being affected negatively: it is the commensalism symbolized by + / 0.

It may be that bacterial commensalism has an interest in its host (the animal) in the sense that it protects against parasites, or on the contrary, it favors their appearance.

Why isn't the longest day of the year the hottest day of the year?

Pachacha [2.7K]

The longest day of the year isn't the hottest day of the year because the phenomenon of the hottest weather following the summer solstice by a month or two is called the lag of seasons.
