*See attached digaram for the good web being refffered to

Options:

A. Grasses and ants

B. Ants and grasshoppers

C. Grasshoppers and Texas cottonmouths

D. Texas cottonmouths and red-shouldered hawks

Answer:

B. Ants and grasshoppers

Explanation:

Looking at the partial Texas food web that is given below in the diagram attached, it shows that the Texas horned lizard feeds mainly on ants and grasshopper as a secondary consumer in the food web. As a result of this, the population of ants and grasshoppers would be often put in check and regulated.

However, if a disease suddenly reduces the population of the Texas horned lizard, it means that ants and grasshoppers won't be heavily preyed on anymore, since the population of their major predator has now been reduced.

Therefore, a reduction in the population of Texas horned lizard would result in the increase in the population of ants and grasshoppers.

Explain the respiratory system of a frog and the importance of "vacularization" of the skin and the mesentery
fredd [130]

 The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is quite permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.

A frog may also breathe much like a human, by taking air in through their nostrils and down into their lungs. The mechanism of taking air into the lungs is however sligthly different than in humans. Frogs do not have ribs nor a diaphragm, which in humans helps serve in expand the chest and thereby decreasing the pressure in the lungs allowing outside air to flow in.

In order to draw air into its mouth the frog lowers the floor of its mouth, which causes the throat to expand. Then the nostrils open allowing air to enter the enlarged mouth. The nostrils then close and the air in the mouth is forced into the lungs by contraction of the floor of the mouth. To elimate the carbon dioxide in the lungs the floor of the mouth moves down, drawing the air out of the lungs and into the mouth. Finally the nostrils are opened and the floor of the mouth moved up pushing the air out of the nostrils.

Frogs also have a respiratory surface on the lining of their mouth on which gas exchange takes place readily. While at rest, this process is their predominate form of breathing, only fills the lungs occasionally. This is because the lungs, which only adults have, are poorly developed.

Sickle cell anemia and albinism are both recessive traits in humans. Imagine that a couple, already pregnant with fraternal twin
lidiya [134]

Answer:

81/256

Explanation:

By doing a test cross of albinism and sickle cell anemia you'll see that the probability that one child is unaffected by either conditions will be 9/16. Both children would be 9/16 * 9/16.  

Since fraternal twins are developed from two separate fertilization events the probability chance will be independent.

Why is feedback inhibition important in metabolic pathways?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

To balance the production of certain products.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is when byproduct from metabolic reactions in cells accumulates and is in excess. The product goes and inhibits the enzyme that is responsible for speeding its chemical reaction, balancing the amount of product needed, with the amount already produced.

Therefore feedback inhibition is important in metabolic pathways because it balances the production of amino acids and nucleotides. It is there to ensure that the exact amount needed is produced.
