Biodiversity Aa Aa Ecologists are interested in quantifying different kinds of biodiversity. In each of the two studies outlined

here, which kind of biodiversity are ecologists studying? Ecologists examine several small areas, called plots, in a Minnesota grassland. In each plot, they list the plant species and place each species into one of five categories. Each category represents a set of ecological processes that are important in a grassland ecosystem. For example, the nitrogen-fixing category includes plants that convert nitrogen in the atmosphere into a nitrogen compound that all of the plants are able to use. The ecologists then compare ecological characteristics among the plots, noting which plot includes plants in more or fewer of these Ecologists examine satellite imagery of South America. By comparing the wavelengths of light reflected by the vegetation, they can classify the vegetation in different regions of the continent. For example, grasslands, deciduous forests, and evergreen forests all reflect light differently in different wavelengths. The ecologists, therefore, are able to map and quantify the extent of the various types of plant

Answer:

Based on the first study it is evident that the ecologists are looking for functional diversity as they are making a note of different functions performed by a distinct kind of species found on different plots.  

On the other hand, based on the second study it is evident that the ecologists are studying the species diversity as with the assistance of different wavelengths of light reflected by the vegetation, they are differentiating between the vegetation found in different parts of the continent.  

The biodiversity helps humans in different ways, that is, by supporting the society in which they live and by maintaining a healthy biosphere. The biodiversity found around helps in the procedure of dead species decomposition, they offer humans with nutritious food, and also acts as natural sieves and clean the water for consumption. Hence, the correct options are 1, 2, and 3.

Looking at the drawing carefully, the message the artist was trying to pass about invasive species is that they are monsters that suffocate, hinder, or devour other species found in the environment.

Generally, invasive species are species of living organisms that have the capacity to outcompete other species in any environment they are introduced to. Invasive species operates using different strategies. Some of the strategies include:

  • high rate of reproduction
  • high rate of survival
  • secretion of chemicals that kill or inhibit the growth of other species in the environment
  • high dispersal rate

Using different combinations of these strategies, invasive species gradually take over any environment they get introduced to once they get themselves acclimatized to it.

Starting with a protein that has been inserted into the Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane with the Amino (N) terminal in the E
Vika [28.1K]

Answer and Explanation:

Ribosomes are the primary structure for protein synthesis. They can be found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum or floating in the cytosol.  

Free ribosomes are not attached to any cytoplasmic structure or organelle. They synthesize proteins only for internal cell use. Other ribosomes are attached to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum and they are in charge of synthesizing membrane proteins or exportation proteins. Free and attached ribosomes are identical and they can alternate their location. This means that although free ribosomes are floating in the cytosol, eventually, they can get attached to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.  

Synthesis of proteins that are destined to membrane or exportation starts in the cytoplasm with the production of a molecule portion known as a <u>signal aminoacidic sequence</u>. This signal sequence varies between 13 and 36 amino acids, is located in the <u>amino extreme</u> of the synthesizing protein, and when it reaches a certain length, it meets the <u>signal recognizing particle</u>. This particle joins the signal sequence of the protein and leads the synthesizing protein and associated ribosome to a specific region in the Rough endoplasmic reticulum where it continues the protein building. When they reach the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, the signal recognizing particle links to a receptor associated with a pore. Meanwhile, the ribosome keeps synthesizing the protein, and the enlarged polypeptidic chain goes forward the reticulum lumen through the pore. While this is happening, another enzyme cuts the signal sequence, an action that requires energy from the ATP hydrolysis. When the new protein synthesis is complete, the polypeptide is released into the reticulum lumen. Here it also happens the protein folding (which is possible by the formation of disulfide bridges of proteins are formed) and the initial stages of glycosylation (the oligosaccharide addition).  

Once membrane proteins are folded in the interior of the endoplasmic reticulum, they are packaged into vesicles and sent to the Golgi complex, where it occurs the final association of carbohydrates with proteins. The Golgi complex sends proteins to their different destinies. Proteins destined to a certain place are packaged all together in the same vesicle and sent to the target organelle. In the case of membrane proteins, they are packaged in vesicles and sent to the cell membrane where they get incrusted.  

There are certain signal sequences in the <u>carboxy-terminal extreme</u> of the protein that plays an important role during the transport of membrane proteins. A signal as simple as one amino acid in the c-terminal extreme is responsible for the correct transport of the molecule through the whole traject until it reaches the membrane.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Reabsorption,  Higher

Explanation:

  • What drives the reabsorption to take place in the executory system is the presence of slow diffusion of some substances and active transport for others. Filtration removes the water form the blood and other substances get dissolved into blood.
