Answer:

the answer on plato is 8

Explanation:

First you have to find the number of squirrels, being 80% of 1500.

1500 x .8 = 1200

1200 is the population of squirrels.

Next you find the density, so you will divide the population(1200) by the size of occupied area, being 150 hectares.

1200÷150=8

There are 8 squirrels per hectare.

Also I just took the test on plato and got 100%, you can trust my answer!

Population density  =number  of   individual  divided  land  area
land  area  should  be  in  square kilometers
therefore 120  ha  =120  x0.01=1.2 square kilometer  since   1 ha=0.01  kilometer  square
total  population=  (80  x  1500)/100=1200
population  density   is therefore=1200/1.2=1000

While studying the function of a G protein-coupled receptor you develop a modified GTP molecule that has the same binding capabi
laila [671]

<u>Answer:</u>

Effects Include:

Activates secondary messengers such as cAMP which further activates number of hormones like

  • ADH: production of this hormone causes kidneys to retain more water inside body.
  • GHRH: release growth factors and stimulates growth of organism.
  • ACTH: produces fight or flight responses i.e rise in heart beat, rise in Blood pressure etc
  • TSH: Stimulate the synthesis of Thyroid hormone and enhances the metabolism of body. In rare cases causes Goiter without the deficiency of Iodine.
  • LH: Stimulate follicle maturation and formation of ovules in women.
  • Calcitonin: Decreases blood calcium level by deposition calcium in bones. This effect weakens the muscles.
  • Glucagon: Stimulates glycogen breakdown from liver and muscles and many more effects.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Background Knowledge:

GPCR (G Protien coupled receptors) are present inside plasma membrane in huge amount. As name suggest that these receptors are coupled with G proteins during their inactive state present inside of the cell. During their Inactive state these G proteins are bounded with GDP molecule.

Upon receiving signal molecules from outside of cell alters the shape of GPCR. These receptors also triggers change in G Protein, as a result of this GTP get attached with them. This protein further activates reaction cascades inside of the cell.

What happen if GTP cannot be hydrolyzed to GDP + Pi?

If GTP cannot hydrolyzed in to GDP + Pi than, it cannot be able to dissociate from G proteins. Cascade system doesn't stop and produces many effects on body.

Effects Include:

Activates secondary messengers such as cAMP which further activates number of hormones like

  • ADH: production of this hormone causes kidneys to retain more water inside body.
  • GHRH: release growth factors and stimulates growth of organism.
  • ACTH: produces fight or flight responses i.e rise in heart beat, rise in Blood pressure etc
  • TSH: Stimulate the synthesis of Thyroid hormone and enhances the metabolism of body. In rare cases causes Goiter without the deficiency of Iodine.

What is a prokaryote, and when did prokaryotes arise?
RideAnS [48]
<span>A prokaryote is a unicellular organism that belongs to either the domain Bacteria or the domain Archaea. Therefore, unlike a eukaryote, the prokaryote lacks in a nucleus and other organelles. The first organisms that appeared about 3.5 billions years ago were prokaryotes. They developed primitive forms of photosynthesis without oxygen as a waste. The first photosynthesizing prokaryotes appeared about 2.7 billion years ago which led to the changes in Earth atmosphere and consequently organisms dependant on oxygen could arise.</span>
