Answer:

well.. since its a predator it helps control the population count of prey. if there's no predator the prey will keep growing and growing (population-wise) and then the preys prey will shrink (also population-wise) and then the pray will die out after that since there's nothing else to eat

Answer:

Depending on the predator, and its style of hunting, it can weed or bring out certain traits in a prey species.

Explanation:

For example, if a predator species of  high flying bird hunts a type of rodent, the rodents that are born (through random chance) with traits such as adapting to hunting in heavily forested areas, having thicker fur, or having better hearing will tend to outlive the other rodents that don't have those traits. That will mean the prey rodents that have the genetic traits that let them survive or avoid that predator species will survive, and be able to produce offspring that have a higher chance to acquire those traits (over many generations of course). And the rodents that have useless or negative traits, like having a coat of fur that stands out in their habitat or having longer tails that aren't useful in their situation will be weeded out by a predator species, leaving only those with the right traits to survive and produce offspring.

Investiga como se reproducen las células madres​
Damm [24]

Answer:

Las células madre son células que se reproducen constantemente y tienen la capacidad de transformarse en cualquier otro tipo de célula del cuerpo de un organismo. Una célula a partir de la cual pueden crecer todos los tejidos del cuerpo, o una gran parte de ellos, es obviamente una célula extremadamente útil.  

Si las células madre se guían en la formación de tejidos sanos y funcionales, entonces, potencialmente, la terapia celular podría aplicarse para muchas enfermedades. De hecho, si las células provienen del propio paciente, en teoría no habrá riesgo de su rechazo (como lamentablemente ocurre con los trasplantes).

Las células madre tienen la capacidad de reproducirse por sí mismas a través del proceso de mitosis celular, para crear copias idénticas (clones) de sí mismas..

Proteins on the surface of vesicles determine where the vesicles go. Which cell organelle provides the instructions for these pr
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

D. Nucleus.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the structural, fundamental, biological and functional unit of life. Cells are found in all living organisms because they are the basic unit of life. A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Some examples of cell organelles found in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include; nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, etc.

Proteins on the surface of vesicles determine where the vesicles go.

The nucleus is the cell organelle which provides the instructions for these proteins. It controls all the activities taking place in the cell and the synthesis of proteins.

How is a nuclear envelope similar to a cell membrane
Bond [772]

Answer:

It is similar because the nuclear envelope is a membrane similar to the cell membrane around the whole cell. There are pores and spaces for RNA and proteins to pass through while the nuclear envelope keeps all of the chromatin and nucleolus inside. When the cell is in a resting state there is something called chromatin in the nucleus.
