Answer:
A
Explanation:
Enzymes work best within specific temperature and pH ranges, and sub-optimal conditions can cause an enzyme to lose its ability to bind to a substrate. However, extreme high temperatures can cause an enzyme to lose its shape (denature) and stop working.
The ecological pyramid is smaller at the top due to the lower amount of species to fit into the category (diversity is decreased, and the higher, the more suppressed the energy is in the animals/species).
The correct answer is option D, difficulty of redesigning workable ecosystems
Reason -
The area that was redesigned into an ecosystem actually failed to attract the endangered species of clapper rails in California because of the following two reasons –
a) Failed attempt of restoration of Cord grass ( a tree which is a dominant tree in the nesting habitat of clapper rail) . Even if few such trees were there they could not grow to their full height and thus were incapable of providing adequate nesting cover
b) Due to the lack of predatory insect, some herbivore insect in the ecosystem attacked the green grasses thereby making the nesting inadequate.
These abnormalities occur in the serotonin system which reduces and/or inhibits control in their movement. This disruption of the neurotransmitter causes them to act maladaptively. Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries.
