The right answer is C.

Plants know how to defend against herbivores and insects that try to eat them.

Many plant-based pesticides are made from cyanogenic glycosides (that release cyanide), which by blocking cytochrome c oxidase.

Cyanogenic glycosides are stored as inactive forms in the vacuoles of some plants. They become toxic when herbivores, by grazing the plant, break the cell membranes, which puts the glycosides in contact with the enzymes in the cytoplasm releasing hydrogen cyanide which blocks cellular respiration.

Which factors tend to promote higher biodiversity in an ecosystem? Check all that apply.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: diversity of niches

, large area and warm climate

Explanation:

An ecosystem is a biotic community in which the living beings interact with their non-living physical environment. The following factors which are responsible for higher biodiversity in an ecosystem:

Diversity of niches: A niche can be define as the functional role an organism performs in an ecosystem so as to sustain it's life. For example the type of habitat, food and breeding season chosen by the organism. With the increase in the differences in the diversity of niches the organism exhibit variations and differences from the members of the same species or from the members of the other species.

Large area: The large area can support the reproduction and abundance of members which belongs to different species hence will help in promoting higher biodiversity in a region.

Warm climate: The warm climatic range will offer the chances of adaptations to the living organisms to sustain their lives in harsh environmental conditions. This will lead to evolution of  new species from the parent species.

What is the advantage to prokaryotes grouping related metabolic gene products into a single operon
ANTONII [103]
The advantage to prokaryotes grouping related metabolic gene products into a single operon is they only needed one mRNA to create several gene products. This makes a prokaryote different to a eukaryote in terms of gene information processing. Prokaryotes have fewer genes. These genes are located in one chromosome only.
