I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The Endangered Species Act was established in 1973. This significant environmental law provides all of the following except <span>permits to trap threatened wildlife. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
Flatworms,crabs and starfish are classified as Invertebrates.This is due to the fact that they neither possess nor develop a vertebral column, derived from the notochord.
Answer:
Urban development can magnify the risk of environmental hazards such as flash flooding. Pollution and physical barriers to root growth promote the loss of urban tree cover.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
c. The ratio of long to short fatty acid tails in the membrane phospholipids increases
e. There is an increase in the saturation state of the fatty acid tails of membrane phospholipids
Explanation:
In biological lipid membranes, the homeoviscosity refers to the process by which the membrane 'adapts' its lipid composition to maintain a proper fluidity. It is well known that the membrane's fluidity increases with increasing temperatures. In this regard, it is important to have into account two points. First, the length of the fatty acid tail alters the membrane's fluidity: shorter fatty acid tails increase fluidity, while longer fatty acid tails decrease it (because shorter tails establish fewer molecular interactions between fatty acids tails). Second, the degree of saturation (i.e., the number of bonds between the carbon atoms) of fatty acids tails also affects homeoviscosity. A higher saturated fatty acid content decreases the membrane's fluidity because saturated tails are arranged in order to maximize molecular interactions between fatty acids tails.
Question:
A---enzyme A------>B----enzyme B------>C
Refer to the metabolic pathway illustrated above. If A, B, and C are all required for growth, a strain that is mutant for the gene-encoding enzyme A would be able to grow on medium supplemented with _____.
A) nutrient A only
B) nutrient B only
C) nutrient C only
D) nutrients A and C
Answer:
B) nutrient B only
Explanation:
The mutant has a mutation in the gene that codes for the enzyme A. Therefore, this mutant would not be able to convert the substance A into B. Without the presence of substance B, the final product can not be formed. However, if the mutant is supplemented with the substrate "B", it can convert the B into the final product (substance C). Therefore, the mutant would be able to grow in the medium to which the already prepared substance B has been added.
