<span>The question is asking us which type of diversity is characteristic of the variety of organisms within an ecosystem. These organisms would be for example frogs, treets, insects - different species, therefore the best answer is c. Species diversity. Each species would have its own genetic diversity, but this is too specific for the whole ecosystem - on the level of the ecosystem, species are a more useful distinction</span>
Answer:
Carbohydrates, particularly glycoproteins act as ligands for cell surface receptors.
Explanation:
Glycoproteins
- Glyproteins are conjugate molecules comprising of carbohydrates conjugated with proteins.
- Glycoproteins play a vital role in cell-cell recognition, pathogen recognition and and cell adhesion.
- Glycoproteins on the surface of pathogens act as prominent antigens for the immune system.
Glycoproteins in Fertilization:
Several glycoproteins are attached to the surface of the zona pellucida, the envelope of the oocyte. In humans, these have been termed as ZP1-4.
Glycoprotein-sperm interaction is one of the most crucial steps in fertilization. This receptor-ligand interaction ensures the entry of the sperm into the zona pellucida, the extracellular coat, covered in glycoproteins that surrounds the oocyte or egg.
Carbohydrate binding proteins present on the surface of the sperm recognize the glycoproteins on the zona pellucida (ZP). This enables them to adhere to the surface of the ZP and also to gain access to the oocyte.
Answer:
d. shrimp
Explanation:
shrimp is not fish it is a shellfish along with crabs, lobsters, and crayfish.
Independent variable - juice
Dependent variable - stacks of paper made
Control - group B
Constant - Task
<h3>Research variables</h3>
In every scientific investigation, there are different variables. These include:
- Independent variables: These are the variables that are supplied by the researcher and often varied to produce different effects. It is often referred to as the 'cause' variable.
- Dependent variables: These are variables that are measured in the course of research. They are a result of the effects of the independent variable on the experimental subjects or groups. They are otherwise known as 'effect' variables.
- Constant variables: Variables that are applicable to all experimental groups and are usually kept constant.
Also, there are different groups in research:
- Control group: The reference group. The group that is not fed with the independent variable and forms the basis for comparison in order to understand the effects of the independent variable.
- The experimental group: The group that is fed with the independent variable.
