A marine ecosystem off the California coast consists of leatherback turtles that feed on jellyfish, and killer whales that prey

on the leatherback turtles. Habitat loss and fishing have been identified as the main reasons for the reduced numbers of leatherback turtles, who are on the verge of being declared an endangered species. What would be the first effect on the ecosystem if habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked? A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish B) A spurt in the population of killer whales C) A change in the feeding habits of jellyfish D) A migration of jelly fish from the ecosystem

Answer:

The correct answer is A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish.

Explanation:

According to this question, habitat loss affects population of leatherback turtles so the population of the leatherback will go down and it will affect the population of killer whales because killer whales prey on leatherback turtles.  

As the population of leatherback turtles decreases the population of its prey that is jelly will grow very fast due to lack of their natural predators like leatherback turtles.

So if habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked then there will be a spurt in the population of jellyfish and decrease in the population of leatherback turtles and killer whales which will disturb the balance marine ecosystem.

Therefore the correct answer is A) A spurt in the population of jellyfish.

Which of the following sequences is correct for the downhill movement of electrons during cellular respiration? A. glucose – cit
Volgvan

Answer:

B. glucose – NADH – electron transport – O2

Explanation:

This is the sequence  from glycolysis in which  glucose molecules are split down to pyruvate, to oxidative phosphorylation.

During this process the electrons are released from glucose  molecule as it is oxidised multiple times as pyruvate, and other molecules formed subsequently in Kreb's cycle, until the oxidative phosphorylation is reached .

The makes the  carrier molecules to be reduced.Thus NAD→NADH,FAD→FADH .

The electrons from above are  transferred in hydrogen atoms  to matrix by these co-enzymes.Where the H is split to electrons  and protons.

The electrons for the ETC, produce the PMF for transporting  protons into the intramembrane space.

The concentration of protons generated the electrochemical gradients  which is needed to produce energy for for phosphorylation of ADP with Pi to form ATP by ATpase synthase.

The electrons moves as chain,and this is finally accepted by oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
