Predator and prey populations affect each other because if a predator of one prey kills that one animal than that animal dies and the prey decrease by one and when one predator dies from being killed or just naturally dying, then the predators decrease by one.
The phenotypic ratio would be 1:1 because there would be 1 black to every 1 white
The Dependant Variable is the one responding to change.
Control Variables are controlled by you, and you influence the Independent Variables.
What do you mean by following?
Answer:
d. Fluoride becomes incorporated into the crystalline structure of teeth, making them less susceptible to decay
Explanation:
Dental caries results when cariogenic (caries-causing) bacteria metabolize carbohydrates or sugars present in the mouth for their energy needs, producing organic acids as byproducts, thus lowering the pH of the plaque biofilm.
The hydroxyapatite of tooth enamel is composed mainly of phosphate ions (PO₄³⁻) and calcium ions (Ca⁺). Under normal conditions, there is a stable equilibrium between the calcium and phosphate ions in saliva and the crystalline hydroxyapatite. At low pH (acidic conditions), there is a shift in equilibrium resulting in the dissolution of hydroxyapatite from tooth enamel, a process known as demineralization. A reverse process called remineralization (the process of incorporation of minerals in tooth enamel) occurs when the saliva, acting as a buffer elevates pH. When equilibrium is shifted to favor continued demineralization, dental caries results.
However, when fluoride is present in saliva, fluorapatite, rather than hydroxyapatite, forms during the remineralization process as fluoride ions replace hydroxyl groups in the formation of the apatite crystal lattice.
Fluorapatite is less soluble than hydroxyapatite making it more resistant to demineralization, even under conditions of low pH. Thus, fluoride acts as an effective anticaries agent.
creating simple sugars from smaller molecules
Explanation:
The human cell is not capable of creating simple sugars from smaller molecules.
Simple sugars are the smallest unit of carbohydrates and are not created by the body. They are products obtained from food digestion.
- Simple sugars cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler carbohydrate molecules.
When they combine together, they form polysaccharides which are complex carbohydrates.
These polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates.
