The cane toad, or Rhinella marina, was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands in 1932 by sugar cane farmers. The farmers released th

e toads in their crops to help control pests that were damaging the sugar cane. The cane toad has few natural predators because it secretes a poisonous toxin that kills the animals that consume it. As a result, the cane toad population thrived, and by 1935, it numbered hundreds of thousands. Which role does the cane toad play in the Hawaiian islands?

The answer is invasive species.

<span>Invasive species are species that are not native to the specific ecosystem, but they are capable of spreading widely through the ecosystem. This way they can threaten native species of the ecosystem or cause environmental harm. 
</span>

<span>After being introduced into the Hawaiian Islands, the cane toads greatly affect local ecosystem. In the new area, they have a few natural predators and are able to spread. If they spread beyond the area they are introduced, they become invasive species which can overgrow native biotopes and are a great threat to the local biodiversity. This could lead to the extinction of some native species.</span>

Answer:

b. cause an increase in blood pH.

Explanation:

Carbonic anhydrases are zinc-containing enzymes that catalyze the reversible reaction of conversion between CO2 and bicarbonates (carbon dioxide hydration and bicarbonate dehydration). The conversion of bicarbonate to CO2 facilitates its entry into the cell. On the other hand, the conversion of CO2 to bicarbonate helps keep the CO2 inside the cell.

This enzyme is important in all living organisms for maintenance of acid-base balance (regulates pH ). For example, carbonic anhydrases lowers pH in the stomach by producing an acid.

1. Dr. Lairmore makes the point that veterinarians don't just treat "the animal," but approach treatment from a "one health" per
poizon [28]
Other things veterinarians are looking at is the boundary between animals, people, and the environment. Veterinarians need to work with human doctors to work on food safety, problems connected to cancer, etc. Veterinarians and human doctors can get facts from each other. The problems we face in society means that they have to cooperate with both the animal health side, the human health side, and environment side as well. One way they think of “one health” is evolving viruses. They are looking at this to find a solution by the use of comparative medicine and observing the environment.

What is the expected percent change in the DNA content of a typical eukaryotic cell as it progresses through the cell cycle from
Anastasy [175]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: What is the expected percent change in the DNA content of a typical eukaryotic cell as it progresses through the cell cycle from the start of the G1 phase to the end of the G2 phase

a. -100%

b. -50%

c. +50%

d. +100%

Answer:

d. +100%

Explanation:

S phase comes between G1 and G2 phases of the interphase of a cell cycle. S phase of interphase includes replication of DNA. The process of DNA replication doubles the amount of DNA present in the cell. The newly synthesized DNA is accommodated in the sister chromatids of chromosomes. Therefore, a cell with 2C DNA in the G1 phase would have 4C DNA at the end of the G2 phase. So, there is a +100% increase in the DNA content of a cell as it proceeds from G1 to the end of the G2 phase.
