Describe functional diversity

Biology
1 answer:
Svet_ta [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Each and Every species in ecosystem are interlinked their behaviour,mode  of getting their food and the uses of natural resouces  is known as functional diversity

Explanation:

 Biodiversity explains the intensity of an ecosystem in terms of  species,food resources and genetically varied species. The levels of biodiversity  are several, and each level denotes how different the  species genetically and phenotypically,their behaviour, and their mode of food resources in a particular region. The main components of biodiversity are Species diversity,Genetic diversity,Ecosystem diversity and Functional diversity.

  Generally species rich ecosystem  have high functional diversity because there many species with different behaviours and different mode of food consumption Functional diversity is one of the components of biodiversity it comprises the characters of microbes  widespread in an ecosystem.Functional diversity is highly important because of it stability and  and nutrient availability to the species. It can be measured by its richness and evenness.

1. Richness: It refers to the dwelling of number of species in a specific niche

2. Evenness: It refers to the organisms in a particular nich how they are evenly distributed

 Knowledge about a particular ecosystem reveals its richness and evenness and it provides an individual to know about the diversity of functional characters in an ecosystem

Svet_ta [14]
This can affect the organisms living there because now, their environment is probably different than what they have been living in for a long time, so now they have to adapt to this new environment, and if they don't, the organisms will probably end up dying.

Describe the effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases is that it binds to the RNA polymerases, and reduces the process of translocation which is essential for RNA synthesis that is required for RNA polymerases elongation.

Explanation:

Amanitin is a peptide that is cyclic in nature. It is repelled by water thereby making it an hydrophobic peptide.

Amanitin is a toxic peptide that is found in Amanita ( a type of mushroom).

Alpha Amanitin in particular is the one that affects the elongation rate of RNA Polymerases in the body.

When Alpha Amanitin gets into the body system, it travels straight to the liver and due to its very strong affinity for RNA polymerases, it immediately attaches itself to them.

After the attachment, Alpha Amanitin, is disturbs the bridge helix found in RNA polymerase, preventing the hindering and slowing down the proces of translocation from happening.

Once translocation is hindered, RNA is no longer synthesized. Hence, the elongation of RNA polymerases is hindered and this results in severe illness in the body such as liver failure, cytolysis of the liver
