In DNA replication, the new strand of dna that is synthesized in one continuous piece is called the leading strand
Answer:
In the electron transport chain, when the protons move down their concentration gradient, the electrons are transferred from one molecule to the other and energy is released.
Explanation:
During the rear stage of cell respiration or oxidative phosphorylation two processes are involved. Among which one is the electron transport proton gradient chain, in which protons are transferred from one to the other molecule.
In this process electron also releases energy to make an electrochemical gradient. In this chain oxygen accepts protons and chooses electron to produce water.
Answer:
C) The benthic invertebrates would decrease in population size because they are eaten by the sea ducks and the phytoplankton would increase in population size.
Explanation:
The benthic invertebrates are eaten by sea ducks. Sea ducks are eaten by bald eagles. If the bald eagle was removed, there would be more sea ducks because they will have no more predators. Since there are more sea ducks, they will need to eat more food, like benthic invertebrates. The benthic invertebrates would have a lower population because the sea ducks eat more of them.
Why not the other answers:
A) The bivalves would not increase in population size. Without the bald eagle preying on sea ducks, there would be more sea ducks, who need to eat more food, such as eating more bivalves.
The phytoplankton would not decrease. With sea ducks eating more food, more benthic invertebrates are eaten. There would be less benthic invertebrates to eat phytoplankton.
B) Tundra swans were never eaten by bald eagles. There is no arrow connecting them.
D) Wading birds were never eaten by ospreys. There is no arrow connecting them.
