A metapopulation is a group of separate, in ecology, it is a regional or group of connected populations of species. It is an isolated population that has individuals occasionally disperse between the habit islands. Bighorn sheep are found in dry desert mountains of Southeastern California. A result of morphometric measurements and protein and mtDNA analysis, Ramey recommended that only Desert Bighorn Sheep and the Sierra Nevada population would only be recognized as a separate species.

While studying the function of a G protein-coupled receptor you develop a modified GTP molecule that has the same binding capabi
laila [671]

<u>Answer:</u>

Effects Include:

Activates secondary messengers such as cAMP which further activates number of hormones like

  • ADH: production of this hormone causes kidneys to retain more water inside body.
  • GHRH: release growth factors and stimulates growth of organism.
  • ACTH: produces fight or flight responses i.e rise in heart beat, rise in Blood pressure etc
  • TSH: Stimulate the synthesis of Thyroid hormone and enhances the metabolism of body. In rare cases causes Goiter without the deficiency of Iodine.
  • LH: Stimulate follicle maturation and formation of ovules in women.
  • Calcitonin: Decreases blood calcium level by deposition calcium in bones. This effect weakens the muscles.
  • Glucagon: Stimulates glycogen breakdown from liver and muscles and many more effects.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Background Knowledge:

GPCR (G Protien coupled receptors) are present inside plasma membrane in huge amount. As name suggest that these receptors are coupled with G proteins during their inactive state present inside of the cell. During their Inactive state these G proteins are bounded with GDP molecule.

Upon receiving signal molecules from outside of cell alters the shape of GPCR. These receptors also triggers change in G Protein, as a result of this GTP get attached with them. This protein further activates reaction cascades inside of the cell.

What happen if GTP cannot be hydrolyzed to GDP + Pi?

If GTP cannot hydrolyzed in to GDP + Pi than, it cannot be able to dissociate from G proteins. Cascade system doesn't stop and produces many effects on body.

Effects Include:

Activates secondary messengers such as cAMP which further activates number of hormones like

  • ADH: production of this hormone causes kidneys to retain more water inside body.
  • GHRH: release growth factors and stimulates growth of organism.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

D. Einstein's theory was difficult for many people to understand.

Explanation:

Einstein’s theory of general Relativity was largely Ignored for three decades because scientists at the time thought the theory was too complex compared to Newton's.

Therefore, it took long before the general science community accepted Einstein's theory of general relativity because Einstein's theory was difficult for many people to understand.

"D. Einstein's theory was difficult for many people to understand."

Based on the graph, can you explain the increases and decreases in the moose and wolf populations?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
As the wolf population increases, the moose population decreases due to the fact that moose are a wolf’s prey. as the wolf population decreases, the moose population increases due to the fact that less wolves are hunting them which allows them to repopulate faster.
