Answer: d. Predators avoid prey that are in their prime in order to maintain a high reproductive rate in the prey population, and hence 'grow' prey for the future.

A predator can be define as an organism superior and strong enough to kill inferior and weaker organism. This organism kill other organism to obtain it as food. A prey is an organism which is weak and cannot defend itself from the attack of the superior organism.

Chondroblasts ________. Select one: a. never lose their ability to divide b. within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: b - Chondroblasts within the cartilage divide and secrete new matrix

Explanation: Chondroblasts are derived from two sources; mesenchymal cells within the center of chondrification and chondrogenic cells of the inner cellular layer of the perichondrium (coverings that lie over most cartilage).

At the chondrification centers, the cartilage forming cells (Chondroblasts) begin to secrete the components of extracellular matrix of cartilage. As the amount of matrix increases, the Chondroblasts become separated from each other and they are located in small cavity within the matrix called lacunae.

Concurrently, the cells differentiate into matured cartilage cells called chondrocytes.

It is proposed that the periplasmic space of gram-negative bacteria is iso-osmotic relative to the cytosol. If true, this poses
Furkat [3]

Answer:

In case of these gram-negative bacteria, the outer membrane (made of lipid) is firmly bound to the cell wall (made of peptidoglycan). This structure is responsible for maintaining cell integrity against the turgor pressure faced from the outside. Since this outer layer is more permeable to substances moving across the membrane, the next layer - the inner membrane - also adds support to withstand turgor pressure. It will not let an osmolyte (such as sucrose) diffuse through it, thereby maintaining the osmotic pressure in the periplasmic space.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
