I would think on of the reasons is because the food that mice eat has a greater variety, in the sense that while a lion may only eat meat and have to catch its prey the mice can eat without relying on other animals. Lions also have more competition between other animals like them for example cheetahs and leopards on the other hand a mice is more independent. On period where food is scarse mice can get on with eating what the earth provides like plants lions can’t.
This would be an example of a mutualistic relationship because both organisms benefit from the relationship.
A mutualistic relationship is described as when two organisms of different species work together and both benefit from the relationship.
Answer:
The defective Na+/K+ ATPase is not able to dephosphorylate itself.
Explanation:
Na+/K+ ATPase pump cycles between two different forms: the phosphorylated form of the Na+/K+ ATPase has a high affinity for K+ ions and low affinity for Na+ ions. The release of phosphate from ATP and phosphorylation of Na+/K+ ATPase makes the pump to release the bound 3 Na+ ions outside the cell and to bind to the 2 K+ ions from the surroundings. As the Na+/K+ ATPase is dephosphorylated, its affinity for K+ ions is reduced leading to the release of K+ inside the cell.
A defective Na+/K+ ATPase that is able to pick and bind the K+ ions but is not able to shuttle them across the membrane should be defective to achieve its dephosphorylated form. Without releasing phosphate, the affinity of the pump for K+ ions is not reduced and the pump would not be able to release them to the opposite side of the membrane.
