Answer:
Interspecific competition is a competition between two species for obtaining the same resource. For example, lion and leopards are cat species but feed on the same prey so they compete for the same resource.
Interspecific competition may lead to resource partitioning through the change in their niche by one species to avoid interspecific competition.
For example, <em>Anolis evermanni</em> and <em>Anolis gundlachi</em> are two species of lizards live on Puerto Rico island and compete for the same resource i.e., insects so to avoid interspecific competition they did the resource partitioning.
Anolis gundlachi feeds near the ground and Anolis evermanni prey on upper branches of trees so in this way they avoid competetion.
My guess is that you're wanting the formula for respiration (which is basically the opposite of the formula for photosynthesis)?
So on the left (reactant/inputs) side should be: sugar and oxygen
On the right (products/outputs) side should be:
Carbon dioxide, water, light energy/ATP
Answer:
Ligand-receptor interaction is the first interaction that triggers cell signalling.
Ligands are the hormones, drugs or neurotransmitters that specifically bind with receptors present in cell surface to initiate cell signalling. Ligand binding to the receptor is reversible. Binding of the ligand to the receptor can activate or inactivate receptor. Activation may lead to cell signalling pathways. Inside cells, there are secondary molecules which on activation starts a cascade of reactions. which in-turn regulate the function of the ligand molecule.
At first, the activated receptor relates with G proteins molecules in the cell.
before the ultimate physiological effect of the ligand on the cell's behavior is produced Therefore, the cellular signaling starts as soon as the first messenger (the ligand) binds to its receptor.
hope this helps
