Write down your ideas for how the ability to communicate using low-frequency sounds may provide an adaptive advantage for surviv

al and reproduction to elephants.

Answer:

Elephant are large social animals which live in groups.They are very intelligent and uses different mode of communication for maintaining the social circle.

Generally Elephants produces a unique sound called infrasounds. This a a low frequency sounds(5hz) capable of traveling in kilometers(kilometres) with low pitch beyond human comprehension, of (20hz) This mode of private mode  communication by the animals helps in the adaptation to survival of the animal in the social behaviour.Due to low pitch beyond human audibility,it is easier for elephants to communicate on sighting the common predator (Man) and therefore communicate the danger before the predator is aware.

These sounds were produced by focal folds and modified through the filtration of the sounds by the nasal passages and the nose.

At night time when sound travels faster,female elephants makes calls to males,(mostly in the sparse Savannah)which may attracts many males for mating over 300km2. Thus this low frequency sound of less than 100Hz is enough to ensure mating.

However, this would not be possible during the day where warmer air are closed to the ground and therefore reduce sound speed.Thus the low frequncy sound is well adapted for both reproduction and survival

When a tick transfers Lyme disease from a deer to a human, the tick is considered the ________ in the chain of infection
melisa1 [442]

The tick is considered the vector in the chain of infection.

Generally, vector organisms are organisms that are capable of transmitting disease pathogens from infected organisms to uninfected ones either directly or indirectly as a result of their activities.

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of vertebrate animals such as deers and humans. When they feed on the blood of animals with certain infections, the pathogens for such infections are sometimes carried in the guts of the parasites and these are transferred to the bloodstream of the next animal that would be their host.

A good example of this is Lyme disease.

A protein isolated from a thermophilic bacterium shows a molecular weight of 160 kD when eluted from a size-exclusion chromatogr
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

as a dimer consisting of two identical monomers (80 kDa subunits) that are packed together via hydrophobic interactions

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), is an electrophoretic methodology used to separate proteins that have a molecular weight between 5 to 250 kDa. SDS is a well-known ionic detergent that is able to break hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. Moreover, size-exclusion chromatography is a filtration technique that separates molecules in solution according to their molecular size. In this case, SDS-PAGE showed that the target protein is composed of two identical subunits (monomers) of 80 kDa each, which were separated by the detergent and formed one single band in the SDS-PAGE gel.

How have these owls adapted to their nearly treeless environment?
Vanyuwa [196]
Owls have many adaptations. They allow them to survive in their chosen habitats. <span>Owls are adapted to their nearly treeless environment </span>because they can camouflage into the same colour as the environment or <span>into the same colour as a branch an that is where owls sit. Owls have also fringed fetahres, so they can fly silently. </span>

In response to high amounts of phosphate transport into the cell: a. PhoR is phosphorylated by the phosphate transporter protein
storchak [24]

Answer:

e. PhoU keeps PhoR bound to the phosphate transporter protein Pst

Explanation:

PhoU is a membrane protein known to regulate the transport of phosphate (Pi) between cellular compartments. It has been discovered that mutations in this protein cause lethality because the cell becomes incapable of controlling the intracellular levels of  Pi, this being toxic for the cell. PhoR is a histidine kinase/phosphatase. When the Pi level is considered to be a limiting factor, PhoR autophosphorylates at a histidine residue and then donates its phosphoryl group to PhoB. On the other hand, when the Pi level is high, this protein removes the phosphoryl group from phospho-PhoB. Finally, the Pst is a signal transduction protein that acts as a transporter capable of switching its conformation during the transport of PI.
