Fertilizer runoff causes an increase in the dissolved nutrients of the ecosystem shown in the food web below. This causes the nu

mber of phytoplankton to double.
How will this most likely affect the other species in this ecosystem?
A.
The shrimp population will increase which will cause an increase in the squid population.
B.
The shrimp population will decrease which will cause an increase in the squid population.
C.
The shrimp population will decrease which will cause an increase in the sperm whale population.
D.
The shrimp population will increase which will cause a decrease in the sperm whale population.

Answer:

I believe the answer is A because if shrimp eat phytoplankton, and squid eat shrimp this should work. I am not positive but I hope this helps.

What second messenger most directly causes calcium ions to be released from intracellular stores?
NemiM [27]

Answer: adenylyl cyclase inositol triphosphate mainly known as IP3 causes the release of Calcium ions directly from the inracellular stores and causea contraction.

Explanation:

IP3, inositol phosphate is a second messenger a signaling molecule. It is made by hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, by an enzyme phospholipase C.

IP3 binds to the calcium channels and opens Ca2+ channels that are embedded in the ER membrane, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol. Calcium ions released may cause contraction and regulate the Ca2+ channels in the membranes.

Epinephrine has to cross the cell membrane to bind to its receptor in the cytoplasm. True or False
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is a hormone and a neurotransmitter produced by the adrenal glands, it helps to regulate cellular energy metabolism and increases the heart rate.

Epinephrine adheres to certain receptors that are exposed on the surface of a large number of body cells. This receptor, called beta-adrenergic, is a receptor that is embedded in the plasma membranes of these cells. Adrenaline does not penetrate the cell, instead, joining for a short period of time to its receptor, induces it to release biochemical signals to the cytoplasm of cells. This steric change, affects the configuration of the cytoplasmic domain of the protein, this is the "link" of the receptor that protrudes in the cytoplasm.

Temka [501]
The answer is "<span> It has all cell types found in other forms of connective tissue."

The areolar tissue situated in the skin ties the external layers of the skin to the muscles underneath. Areolar tissue is additionally found in or on mucous layers, and around veins, nerves, and the organs of the body.

Zebra mussels are tiny clam-like organisms that strain plankton out of the lake water. They attach to piers, boat hulls, pipes,
-Dominant- [34]
<h2>Availability of Plankton</h2>

Explanation:

  • The term plankton comes from the Greek derivative planktos, meaning wandering. Organisms in this group spend either part or all of their life in a drifting state, with no ability to swim against a current. Most have little or no ability to swim at all. Though some are larger, most planktonic creatures are microscopic and make up the bottom of the food chain in aquatic environments
  • Plankton can be divided into two categories: phytoplankton are those organisms that are plant-like, and zooplankton are organisms that are animal-like. Interestingly enough, many planktonic species are neither plant nor animal but are creatures that belong to the kingdom Protista
  • Zebra muscles are found in water bodies which attached to pipes and other surfaces of water supply to impliment the availability of plankton

Mom is A+. She has 2 children, one is O+ and the other is B-. (Note: Rh+ is RR or Rr, and Rh- is rr) What are the father’s possi
mezya [45]

Answer:

  • The blood group of the father must be B.
  • The genotype of blood group would be I^{B}i.
  • The Rh factor of the father can either be positive or negative.
  • Thus, the genotype of Rh factor of father would be either Rr or rr.

Rh factor:

The phenotype of the mother Rh factor is positive. Thus, she can have Rr or RR as her genotype as positive is a dominant trait.

If the genotype of the mother is RR then all the offspring would be positive for Rh factor. However, one of the offspring is Rh negative, that means the mother must be heterozygous that is, Rr.

The genotype of the father can either be Rr or rr in order to produce offspring with positive as well as negative Rh.

Blood group:

The blood group of the mother is A. Thus, the genotype can either be I^{A}I^{A} or I^{A}i.

However, the blood groups of the children are O+ and B+.

Thus, the genotype of the mother must be heterozygous that is I^{A}i.

The blood group of the father must be B with genotype I^{B}i in order to produce offspring with blood group O and B.
