Predators are the keystone species because they limit the population of prey.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Predators are those species which hunt for other animals to consume them as food and live. Where prey are those animals who are being hunted and killed by predators.

Keystone species are those species whose absence or removal from a ecosystem will greatly reduce the diversity from the ecosystem to a huge extent.

Now, if a predator like lion is eliminated from the ecosystem, then the prey like deer, goats etc in the ecosystem will live and reproduce at a very high rate, which will greatly increase the population density of these species. So the food for them will be killed at a very high rate, decreasing the plant varieties and population. So the overall diversity in the ecosystem will be highly reduced.

So the predators like lions, tigers, etc are the keystone species of an ecosystem.

Why have molecular methods for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) gained increasing attention
algol [13]

Molecular methods for the detection of methicillin-resistant

Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) gained increasing attention because it has

helped in the effective treatment of the infection.

<h3>What is Staphylococcus?</h3>

This is an infection which is caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus

aureus with symptoms such as boils and skin infections.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) makes the infection

difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics which is why

molecular methods for detection is important to use alternative treatments.

The placement of the genes on the parent chromosones - B.

<span>The reason for this is that if the parents of the kittens are heterozygotic individuals (Pp and Pp). Where P being one colour and p being another colour, it's quite possible that some of their litter have the pp allele combination which in turn could make them a different colour. </span>

k0ka [10]

Answer:

1. TEF

2.RMR

3.TEA

Explanation:

The major components that contribute to the body daily expenditure are as follows

1. TEF(Thermal effect of feeding)

2.RMR( Resting metabolic rate )

3.TEA(Thermal effect of activity)

Generally resting metabolic rate consume 60 to 75% of energy for  maintenance thwe body temperature.

When body is doing this some physical work then it is called activity related expenditure.

Imagine you just ate a candy bar. research your body's hormonal response to this increase of sugar (glucose) in your bloodstream
kherson [118]

The negative feedback principle in human physiology is involved in this case. The inciting factor here is the increase in blood glucose that will be recognized by the pancreatic islet cells (the endocrine part of the pancreas) and will signal insulin release. Insulin upregulates glucose transporter proteins in cells, especially muscle cells, which will then stimulate glucose uptake from blood. Insulin also stimulates glycogen formation in the liver. These events will subsequently lower blood glucose and low blood glucose will now inhibit the insulin secretion by the pancreas. In the event of hypoglycemia or dangerously low blood glucose, the first adaptive mechanism of the body is to produce glucagon from the pancreatic islet cells. Glucagon will stimulate glycogen breakdown in the liver and therefore raise blood glucose levels to normal.<span> </span>
