Orcas, or killer whales, are natural predators of sea otters. It has been observed that in regions where the sea otters are not

present, sea urchins grow rapidly and destroy much of the natural kelp vegetation. Which of these statements is correct in this context? A) Kelp is the keystone species because their survival is key to the survival of the entire ecosystem. B) Sea otters cannot be considered the keystone species because they are not the top predators in the ecosystem. C) Sea urchins are the keystone species because they multiply rapidly in the absence of their natural predators. Eliminate D) Sea otters are a keystone species as they prevent a herbivorous species from completely destroying a plant species.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Keystone species is the sea otter. Sea otters, playing a critical role in containing the urchin populations, prey on urchins and thus control the numbers of kelp grazers to maintain the forest.

Remember, keystone species is most often a top level predator in an ecosystem.

Which statement explains why oxygen molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?
Artemon [7]
Oxygen molecules diffuse fast because the main gas in a cell in Carbon Dioxide its like if it was 99.9 percent carbon that .1 percent is oxygen and carbon dioxide being what it is. Automatically overrides the amount of oxygen. Basically it is nonpolar

Answer:

A graph not only depends on the data that we are graphing, there are other important factors such as the units we use (here we have °C vs years, but we could have °F vs days and we would see a different graph, which represents the exact same information) , the scale we use (a lot of graphs are misleading because of the use of logarithmic scales, we need to be clear about the scales we use), where we put the zero of each axis (We usually use the intersection of both axes as the (0, 0) point, but this is not a necessary condition, we could manipulate our coordinate axis as we want) , etc.

So there are a lot of things that can impact on how we see the graph of the same data.

About the second answer, one could interpret from that graph that the actual temperature between the years 1880 and 2020 was around 14°C.

What is the term for the nucleotide sequences that are removed during mrna processing?
Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is: introns

Processing of mRNA is process that occurs only in eukaryotic cells. After the transcription, newly formed mRNA molecule is called and it must be processed into a messenger RNA (mRNA). Processing includes:

• Addition of a 5' cap to the beginning of the RNA

• Polyadenilation- addition of a poly-A tail (tail of A nucleotides) to the end of the RNA

• Splicing- removal of introns and linking the exons

After these steps mRNA is mature and used for the further steps (e.g. translation).

Sometimes some genes are alternatively spliced.
