A forest fire lightly burned part of the park. The fire added nutrients to the soil. The fire also helped pine cones open and dr

op their seeds on the ground. These seeds sprouted and grew into strong, healthy seedlings. What effect did the change in the environment MOST LIKELY have on the pine trees growing in the park? A) All of the pine trees died. B) The fire helped release the seeds that grew in the improved soil. C) New plants moved in to replace the pine trees that were there before. D) The seeds that dropped to the ground grew, but there were much fewer trees than before.

It is defiantly not a, because only part of the park was burnt. It wouldn't be c, because fire does not cause seeds to fly in. I would say B

Answer is B.

The forest fire increased the temperature of the environment which helped pine cones to release seeds. Low intensity of fire increases the soil fertility. The fire decomposes the humus of the soil into the black carbon. The black carbon when added to the soil enhances plant nitrogen uptake which helped the seed to grow into healthy strong seedlings.

A — is a protein that recognizes and responds to a signal
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

A <u><em>receptor</em></u> is a protein that recognizes and responds to a signal.

Explanation:

A receptor is a protein molecule present on the cells on which the signalling molecules can bind and generate a physiological response. Some receptor molecules can also respond to Sun and light. Each type of cell has specific receptors molecules and hence can respond to specific signals. The receptor molecules hence tend to receive signals for a cell. Molecules such as hormones bind to the receptors.

Why are protozoa significant? Select all that apply. Protozoa contaminate the water supply. Protozoa do not contribute to a food
Luba_88 [7]

Answer: Protozoa contaminate the water supply.

Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria.

Protozoa have an important role in the food chain.

Protozoa are parasitic or free living single celled eukaryotic organisms. They are mostly found in water bodies.

Protozoa contaminate the water supply: Some of the protozoan species which are released from the human feces usually contaminate thee water, and causes waterborne infections in humans. Examples are Cryptosporium and Giardia. The infection occurs through drinking water or swallowing water from swimming pool.

Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria: The Plasmodium is the genus belonging to the protozoan parasites. This malarial parasite is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes to humans. The parasite multiply in the red blood cells causes symptoms like fever, anemia, flue, illness and may also cause coma and death.

Protozoa have an important role in the food chain: The protozoa species plays many roles in the food chain, they act as consumers, predators or prey, herbivores and decomposers. Their main function is to control the population of other species in the same habitat. They engulf small single celled bacteria, hence prevents excessive bacterial colonization act as predator. They also feed upon the algal species therefore, act as herbivores. They act as decomposers, as they feed upon the organic matter present in the bottom of the aquatic water body. They are the source of food for large worm and insect species.

The host range of a virus is determined by A. whether the glycoproteins or capsid proteins on its surface recognize those of the
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A. whether the glycoproteins or capsid proteins on its surface recognize those of the host cells.

Explanation:

Virus has different surface proteins that are recognized by the receptors present on its host cell. The range of a virus is determined by the recognition of these proteins by the host cell.

The interaction between the receptor on the host cell and surface proteins on the viral capsid is important for viral genome entry in the host cell and to determine the range of the host cells.

If the surface protein of the virus is not able to bind to the receptor on any cell then the virus can not infect the cell. For example, the HIV virus infects only those cell which have CD4 receptors. So the right answer is A.
