A pod of bottlenose dolphins is showing signs of stress in the Gulf of Mexico. Why would it be important for scientists to study

the age structure of the pod?
Age structure would help scientists determine if the problem exists with young or old dolphins.
Age structure would help scientists determine where the dolphins have been and why.
Age structure would help scientists determine if there is a high mortality rate amongst the dolphins.
Age structure would help scientists determine if the dolphins have been suffering from biomagnification.

<span>Age structure would help scientists determine if the problem exists with young or old dolphins.

The age structure shows the distribution of the ages of the individuals in a population. This not only shows the type of change taking place in the population (increasing, decreasing or staying the same) but also is able to help us relate problems to ages. By determining the which age group is more stressed, the scientists will be able to narrow down the causes of the stress and create more accurate hypotheses.

Why do volcanoes occur most often near plate tectonics?
dem82 [27]
Diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes also form as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle along the gap between the two plates. We almost never see these volcanoes, because most of them are located on the sea floor.

3. How does fluoroquinolone affect bacterial cells but not eukaryotic cells?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

In order to be useful in treating human infections, antibiotics must selectively target bacteria for eradication and not the cells of its human host. Indeed, modern antibiotics act either on processes that are unique to bacteria--such as the synthesis of cell walls or folic acid--or on bacterium-specific targets within processes that are common to both bacterium and human cells, including protein or DNA replication. Following are some examples.

Most bacteria produce a cell wall that is composed partly of a macromolecule called peptidoglycan, itself made up of amino sugars and short peptides. Human cells do not make or need peptidoglycan. Penicillin, one of the first antibiotics to be used widely, prevents the final cross-linking step, or transpeptidation, in assembly of this macromolecule. The result is a very fragile cell wall that bursts, killing the bacterium. No harm comes to the human host because penicillin does not inhibit any biochemical process that goes on within us.
