What would most likely happen to the food web if the amount of grass drastically decreased?

1 answer:

5 0

All of the consumers would be affected, and be forced to adapt. Since the amount of grass has decreased, the primary consumer would struggle to survive, and most likely, die out. Since the primary consumer has probably died out, the secondary would either die, or be forced to adapt to the situation, or change habitats ( applies to the rest in the food chain / web).

Which of the following accurately describes the flow of energy through ecosystems?

ki77a [65]

d. The percentage of the original energy from producers that's available to the consumer is quite small.

The 10% energy rule.
This energy rule states that every energy that is transferred from one organism to the other decreases by 10%. For example, a plant has created food thru photosynthesis gained 1000J and a cow eats it it would receive an energy of 100J and a human eats the cow would receive 10J.

An antibody has been isolated that binds to F-actin but not to G-actin. What structural feature(s) of F-actin do you suppose the

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

F-actin is a double helical filament as opposed to G-actin,which is a globular protein .Each actin filament has two ends,called the plus and

the minus ends, which makes it recognizable from each other.This gives the structure a distinct polarity.

Explanation:

Actin is the most abundant protein that is found in almost all eukaryotic cells.Its a most important part cytoskeleton as its a monomeric subunits(size 42kDa) of two types of filaments i.e. microfilaments and thin filaments in cells. Actin is essentially required to maintain stability and morphogenesis of cell.It is involved in numerous significant processes such as endocytosis,cell division and migration.Actin is present in two forms:

•G-actin

•F-actin

The two forms of actin are different structurally.

G- actin is a globular shaped protein,usually present in free form(a monomer),having a tight binding site for another actin monomer.Each monomer has ATP. Upon polymerization of G-actin monomers, a polymer called F-actin filaments is form. This process is driven by hydrolysis of ATP.
