Answer:
weird pictures to answer but rubber trees do nothing for an environment so they would be at the bottom then flees which are eaten by aphid insects which are eaten by birds at the top of the chain
Evolution is a scientific theory as its ideas are supported by facts and inference
The correct answer is the last statement.
If the regulatory serine is mutated to alanine, then acetyl-CoA carboxylase will get activated spontaneously and will produce malonyl-CoA. The increased concentrations of malonyl-CoA will obstruct the oxidation of fatty acids by preventing the entry of fatty acids into the mitochondria.
It is because the AMP-activated protein kinase phosphorylates the serine residues of acetyl-CoA carboxylase to inactivate it. If a mutation occurs in such residues, then the AMPL cannot phosphorylate acetyl-CoA carboxylase and this enzyme will get activated spontaneously.
In such a situation, there will be more than sufficient production of malonyl-CoA, which will inhibit the admittance of more fatty acid getting inside the mitochondria; this will indirectly prevent the oxidation of fatty acids.
Answer:
Most amphibians can breathe both through cutaneous respiration (through their skin) and buccal pumping - though some also retain gills as adults. Some aquatic salamanders (and all tadpoles) have gills and can breathe underwater thanks to them. The Mexican axolotl, for example, never loses its gills.
