Answer:

Option A, keystone species

Explanation:

Keystone species are responsible for controlling any species from becoming dominant over all other species. The keystone species are found at the top of all the energy pyramids and food chains.

They control the explosion of population of prey and hence regulate the overall ecological diversity.  

Some common example of keystone species is as follows –  

Bison, prairie dog, large mammalian predators,  

 

Hence, option A is correct

icang [17]

Answer:B) Technician B

Explanation:ECT(ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE) is a sensor present in the coolant Temperature sensor that checks and transmits the Temperature to the ECM(engine control module). This helps to regulate the fueling time, speed and other factors that can impact the Temperature of the engine.

Stepped ECT circuits require different Internal resistance inside the PCM(power-train control module) is a combined control which includes the ECU(ENGINE CONTROL UNIT) AND TCU(TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT). The same sensor can be used for both the stepped circuit and a circuit that is not stepped.

ollegr [7]

Cysteine contributes to the three-dimensional structure of a protein by forming covalent bonds with an identical amino acid in another part of the protein.

<h3>What is the Cysteine Structure?</h3>
  • Covalent disulfide bonds form between the sulfhydryl (-SH) groups of cysteines in different parts of a protein are very important in determining the three-dimensional shape of the protein.
  • is a HOOC-CH-(NH2)-CH2-SH proteinogenic amino acid that is semi-essential. Cysteine's thiol side chain frequently functions as a nucleophile in enzyme processes.
  • The sign Cyz is occasionally used when a deprotonated catalytic residue is present.
  • The sign Cym can also be used to usually denote the deprotonated form.
  • The thiol is capable of being oxidized to produce the disulfide derivative cystine, which is crucial for many proteins' structural integrity. Cyx is sometimes used in this context. It carries the E identifier E920 when added to food.
  • The codons UGU and UGC encode the amino acid cysteine.
  • Cysteine and methionine, which contain sulfur, are more quickly oxidized than other amino acids.
