No predators usually target young and or healthy prey. Though prey that old and sick are easier to get. Those in a herd who are weak will fall behind which will make it easy for their predators to catch. Their hunters don't get the same 'nutrients' because of their ill body won't provide the same amount they would if healthy.

No, They find the alone one because they are easier to catch when away from the tribe. They are easier to kill when they are old and sick, or weak.

Which event started the Pequot war?
Tanya [424]
<span>The division of the fur trade was mostly the spark of the Pequot war. The Pequot war is a conflict between the Pequot tribe and the alliances that the European colonists have made in Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and Saybrook colonies and their native tribe alliance with the Mohegan tribes. <span>

<span>It was a dispute that the Pequots lost; where about an approximate of 700 of these tribesmen were either killed or sent to slavery. Access to the control of fur trade divided the two tribes when they both decided to realign with English trade sources. The Pequots made an alliance with the Dutch, while the Mohegan made an alliance with the English. </span></span></span>

Before classifying insects into different orders, review the larger classifications for insects:
sukhopar [10]

For an organism to be classified in the animal kingdom it is necessary for that organism to be eukaryotic and multicellular. In addition, he must not be able to produce his own food (he must be heterotrophic), and must eat by eating food taken from the environment.

To be classified in the dilo arthropoda, the organism must have an external skeleton, a segmented body and articulated legs.

To be classified in the insect class, the organism must have a separate body in the head, chest and abdomen, have two antennae, two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs.

Given the names of these three enzymes proteases, DNase, RNase what reaction do you expect each one to catalyze
kramer

Answer:

As the name suggests, proteases will be the enzymes which will catalyze the reactions of proteolysis. Proteolysis can be described as the process of breaking proteins into amino acids and simple peptide bonds.

DNases will catalyze the reactions for breaking down or degrading DNA. The DNase does this by breaking the phosphodiester bonds present in the backbone of the DNA.

RNases will be the enzymes which will catalyze the breaking of RNA molecules.
