The correct answer is option B, that is, ferrets are likely to become extinct.  

Ferrets are dependent completely on the prairie dogs for food and the construction of their homes. Thus, with the spontaneous loss of prairie dogs, the population of ferrets will also get a reduction. The black-foot ferret refers to a nocturnal stalker whose destiny is somewhat associated with that of the prairie dog. The ferrets feed on insects, mice, birds, ground squirrels, and it lives in the burrows built by prairie dogs, which are also its main prey.  

However because of the generation of pastures and farms, and massive hunting, and poisonous campaigns against the prairie dogs, which are the prime food source for ferrets are also making the ferret population to decline.

1. Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multicellular organisms like humans?
astraxan [27]

1.   The oxygen requirements of an animal cannot be met by the process of     diffusion as diffusion is a very slow process. To overcome this, multicellular organisms have specialized cells and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body such as intake of oxygen and food.

2.   What criteria do we use to decide whether something is alive? Any visible movement such as walking, breathing, or growing is generally used to decide whether something is alive or not. However, a living organism can also have movements, which are not visible to the naked eye.

3.   An organism uses outside raw materials mostly in the form of food and oxygen. The raw materials required by an organism can be quite varied depending on the complexity of the organism and its environment.

4.   The various processes essential for maintaining life are nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, control and coordination.

Which chemical or chemicals inhibit the activity of dnases during dna isolation?
sergij07 [2.7K]

EDTA inhibits the activity of DNase during DNA isolation process.

DNase is an enzyme which degrades DNA using divalent metal ions like Mg^{2+} . These metal ions act as cofactor for the proper functioning of DNase.

EDTA chelates the divalent metal ions and thus does not allow DNase to access them.

Therefore in this way DNA is prevented from degradation during its isolation.

Cell walls are made out of cellulose. What type of organic compound is this?
AleksandrR [38]
Organic compound is generally any chemical compound that contains carbon. Due to carbon's ability to catenate (form chains with other carbon atoms), millions of organic compounds are known. Study of the properties and synthesis of organic compounds is the discipline known as organic chemistry. For historical reasons, a few classes of carbon-containing compounds (e.g., carbonates and cyanides), along with a handful of other exceptions (e.g., carbon dioxide), are not classified as organic compounds and are considered inorganic. No consensus exists among chemists on precisely which carbon-containing compounds are excluded, making the definition of an organic compound elusive.[1]Although organic compounds only make up a small percentage of the Earth's crust, they are of central importance because all known life is based on organic compounds. Most synthetically produced organic compounds are ultimately derived from petrochemicalsconsisting mainly of hydrocarbons.
