Explanation:
Invading infectious diseases can, in theory, lead to the extinction of host populations, particularly if reservoir species are present or if disease transmission is frequency-dependent.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Phosphorus assists in energy metabolism.
It helps in the usage and storage of energy in the body. Also, whenever, phosphorus levels in the blood get too low energy levels tend to drop. This could lead to weakness in the muscles and fatigue
Answer:
The pH remains constant
Explanation:
The pH value of Mitochondrial matrix = 7.8 while the pH of the intermembrane space of the mitochondria = 7.0–7.4
The presence of the hydrogen atoms makes the mitochondrial matrix acidic and hence reduced the pH value but the pH of inner and outer matrix is maintained equal to each other thus as the H+ ion increases, the base concentration increases thereby pushing H+ to the inter membrane space and hence producing ATP.
Lancelet is a chordate but not a vertebrate because it lacks a backbone
Explanation:
The subphyla of the phylum Chordata are - Vertebrata, Urochordata and cephalochordate
Those chordates with a structural backbone belong to Vertebrata.
Urochordates and cephalochordates lack a backbone and hence are termed invertebrate chordates.
Lancelet is an invertebrate chordate of the subphylum – Cephalochordata.
The lancelets consist of a notochord that extends right from the head till the tail at the dorsal surface. The notochord acts like the backbone and provides support and a semi-flexible structure to aid in the movement of the organism.
They lack a developed nervous system like vertebrates but only has a dorsal nerve tube
