Answer:
An example of abiotic factor include temperature, light and water. A seasonal
variation temp and precipitation will have a great impact on the population in the ecosystem
Answer: A protein domain is a region of the protein's polypeptide chain that is self-stabilizing and that folds
independently from the rest. Each domain forms a compact folded three-dimensional structure. Many proteins consist of several domains.
One domain may appear in a variety of different proteins. Molecular evolution uses domains as building blocks and these may be recombined in different arrangements to create proteins with different functions.
In general, domains vary in length from between about 50 amino acids up to 250 amino acids in length.
The shortest domains, such as zinc fingers, are stabilized by metal ions or disulfide bridges. Domains often form functional units, such as the calcium binding EF-hand domain of calmodulin.
Because they are independently stable, domains can be "swapped" by genetic engineering between one protein and another to make chimeric proteins.
Plants such as the cactus reside in the desert biome.
An organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms or their remains. A food web is a model of the feeding relationships between many different consumers and producers in an ecosystem. Without plants (the primary producers) consumers and decomposers would not be able to live. Producers always start every food chain. A consumer, also called a heterotroph, is an organism that cannot make its own food. It must eat producers or other organisms for energy.
