Why are communities that are more diverse usually more stable?

It is going to depend on what you consider stable. A diverse population would be more resistant to disease because of simple biology. The more sources for possible resistance the better the heterogeneous pool will be at resisting disease. You also have to take in to consideration things like the availability of modern medicine and the ability to be isolated during illness. Personally I think it has to do with the fact that many of the worlds more diverse population centers are also many of the worlds largest population centers which make them less prone to invasion on that basis alone.

The diagram models how a poison bonds to the active site of an enzyme. Which function is the enzyme most likely unable to perfor

asambeis [7]

The answer is; A

The active site of the enzyme is bound by a substrate and probably the enzyme catalyzes a hydrolysis reaction. The poison mimics the substrate and competes with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme. The poison may bind permanently to the enzyme rendering the enzyme unavailable for other substrates. This could make a particular biochemical reaction, in which the enzyme is involved, to reduce drastically hence threatening life.

After watching the video, how would you define the term ecological relationship? Are they always beneficial to organisms involve

dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no video but ecological relationship will be defined on a general note and it is not always beneficial to organisms.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of the same or different species tend to interact with one another. This interaction is referred to as ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP between the involved organisms. An ecological relationship can be of different types depending on the effect.

SYMBIOSIS is an ecological relationship between two organisms that interact together. SYMBIOSIS can either be mutualistic (both organisms benefit), parasitic (one organism loses and one gains), or commensalistic (one organism benefits and one neither benefits or loses). Another ecological relationship is PREDATION, where one organism called the PREDATOR feeds on part or all of another organism called PREY in order to obtain energy.

As stated above, some of the organisms involved in an ecological relationship benefits while others lose. Hence, it is not always a beneficial relationship to organisms.

If an organism does not have its own means of locomotion and it produces new cells out of inorganic materials through the photos

Travka [436]

The organism is a plant.

Plants are photosynthetic and autotrophic organisms, characterized by plant cells containing chlorophyll. The plants do not have locomation devices and are therefore immobile.

Photyosynthesis starts from inorganic ingredients (CO2 and H2O) to give an organic molecule (glucose) and oxygen at the end.
