Which statement best describes a keystone species

Biology
2 answers:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option D,  it has a strong influence on the ecosystem

Explanation:

Keystone species are an essential part of an ecosystem and their functions/mark cannot be replaced by any other organism. Once the keystone species is removed from an ecosystem, the ecosystem struggles to sustain  or it changes radically. A keystone species in majority of ecosystems/food web is a predator but this is not true in all ecosystems/or with all keystone species.  

For example – there was a trophic cascade when the Gray wolves in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem were removed.

The answer is D

One way to remember this is when you are building a bridge there is one piece right in the middle that keeps the whole thing from collapsing that is called the key-stone. If a keystone species goes extinct then the rest of the ecosystem will crumble around it.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer: uncontrollably cell proliferation

Explanation: the human egfr (spiderman growth factor receptor) being a proud-oncogene is involved in the regulation of cell division, development and differentiation thus mutation of the egfr allele will activate the proto oncogene and change it to an oncogene. Oncogenes are dominant structural genes that encodes protein which can alter the phenotype of a cell. This mutated egfr allele becomes an oncogene producing mutated cells which will continue to undergo uncontrolled cell division/proliferation

a researcher proposes a model of an enzyme catalyzed reaction in which reactant is converted to a product. The model is based on
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

<u>The enzyme's active site binds to and stabilizes the transition state, which decreases the activation energy of the reaction.</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are complex multi-folded forms of proteins - they promote chemical reactions in biological processes.

Typically, molecules collide at random, and complex chemical reactions require the right molecular orientation and energy to react (breaking and forming bonds).

Enzymes lower energy needs by providing an alternative reaction pathway and stabilize and maintain the molecules in their intermediate forms called transition states.
