Answer: a. the lowest trophic level
Explanation:
The keystone species is the one on which the entire ecosystem depends upon. It maintains a balance in the ecosystem. If this species is removed the ecosystem will drastically change. The members of the keystone species are abundantly available at the lowest trophic level. This will help in making a balance in a community or ecosystem. If some members die others will be available to survive others.
Answer:
It is well known that women with poorly controlled PKU during a pregnancy put their baby at risk for developmental issues, poor head growth (microcephaly), poor overall growth, heart defects, and other structural birth defects.
Explanation:
The oceanic crust is pulled under, which forms a subduction zone. Hope this helps.
Answer:
The correct answer is "cell lysis due to the effect of osmotic pressure".
Explanation:
The cell wall is a structure that brings protection from the outside world and also helps to maintain the cell's water balance. The cell wall prevents that the cells is exposed to a large amount of turgor pressure, making the cell turgid when it is under extremal conditions. Some antimicrobials, such as bacitracin, block cell wall synthesis which makes the cell unable to support turgor pressure, resulting in cell lysis due to the effect of osmotic pressure.
Answer:
D) Even a slight reproductive advantage will eventually lead to the elimination of the less well adapted of two competing species.
Explanation:
The competitive exclusion describes relationship between two species that compete for the limiting sources, and cannot coexist. It is enough for one species to have slightly advantage to be dominant over the other. As a consequence, other species (the weaker one) will be extincted (shift to a different ecological niche).
