Why must zebras and wildebeests fill different niches on the open plains and woodlands of africa?

1 answer:

6 0

The occupation of different niches on the open plains and woodlands of Africa by the zebras and the wildebeests is a result of niche partitioning. The zebras and the wildebeests in a common niche would compete for food, water, shelter, and space. This competition would affect the population growth of the two species by negatively affecting their reproductive capabilities. Thus, in the same habitat, the two species choose to occupy two different niches such that the competition between them is minimised. Hence they end up in separate niches.

What were your predicted results for glucose transport in the presence of DNP? Briefly state the physiologic basis for your pred

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Prediction results for glucose transport in the presence of Dinitrophenol (DNP) are as following:

Decreased transport of glucose
DNP disrupts the gradient of protons and the output of ATP
ATP needed for the Na+/K+ pump to the est. Gradient Na+
The gradient required for Sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs)

Dinitrophenol (DNP) is an uncoupler, or is capable of separating electron flow and H+ ion pumping for ATP synthesis. This means that ATP synthesis can not use the energy from electron transfer, hence it will support in lab as well.

Proteins that are involved in packaging the eukaryotic chromosome into "beads" called __________ are __________.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Proteins that are involved in the packaging of eukaryotic chromosome into "beads" called nucleosome are histones.

A nucleosome is a segment of DNA wound in sequence around eight proteins called histones. Together the DNA and the histones form "beads"
A nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells.
