Which of the following is the best example of an abiotic factor limiting population size?

Biology
1 answer:
azamat3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

D) the frequency of rainfall needed for the germination of desert plant seeds

Explanation:

When we talk about abiotic factors, we refer to the non-living factors. The abiotic components of an ecosystem include: Water, air, temperature, light, and the like.

So if we consider it as a limiting factor to population size, this should be the cause of the limitation.

Among all the choices, only D, shows an abiotic factor being the cause of population limiting. Rainfall is an abiotic factor (water), which influences the germination of desert plant seeds, specifically, it depends on the frequency of rainfall.

Answer:

Increase awareness of what I eat

Explanation:

  1. Eat more offal because it has CoQ 10. This is a powerful antioxidant and it will increase my energy and boost my immune system.
  2. Drink more green tea since it has theanine which is and amino-acid that will cross the blood brain barrier. This will increase my alertness and give me a sense of well-being.
  3. Eat more berries it has a wide range of differing antioxidants. It's important for scavenging reactive oxygen species in the body that could damage the cells.
  4. Drink more water flush toxins out. This will also keep me hydrated and keep the blood body levels normal.
  5. Eat more green leafy vegetables because it has iron, important for making haemoglobin.
  6. Eat more nuts it has magnesium and potassium which are important for over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body and also critical for mood, alertness, sleep and pain management.
  7. Eat more fish it has iodine which is a trace component but will support thyroid health and improve immunity.
  8. Switch to pink salt get trace minerals that are not always available in iodized salts. These are important for the conduction of electrical impulses in the brain and increase reaction response and shorten reaction time.
  9. Eat two hours before bed to reduce indigestion, this will also decrease weight gain as the food is moved along the digestive system long before it is time to go to sleep.
  10. Cut out refined carbohydrates to reduce empty calories and incorporate whole grain and natural sweeteners, if any. This provides a more nutrient dense diet and also provide plenty of fiber to aid digestion and bowel movements. It also provide food for the good gut bacteria that helps to improve our immune system.

Which is not something that occurs in translation? A codon and an anticodon pair. A peptide bond is created. A molecule of mRNA
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A molecule of mRNA is formed.

Explanation:

Translation is the second process that occurs in gene expression. It is the process by which the information encoded in the mRNA transcript is used to synthesize a protein.

The mRNA nucleotide sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies an amino acid. Translation, which occurs in the ribosomes (cytoplasm), reads the codon with an anticodon using the complementary base pairing rule i.e. A-U, G-C. This means that a CODON-ANTICODON pairs.

The anticodon carries a corresponding amino acid to the polypeptide sequence. A peptide bond is formed when two amino acids joins together in a condensation reaction.

Note: A molecule of mRNA is formed during transcription

Euglena is a unicellular organism with both chloroplasts and mitochondria. If scientists remove all of the chloroplasts from a E
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Euglena is a single celled organism. It belongs to Kingdom Protista. Euglena is  a eukaryotic organism that exhibit characteristics of both plants and animals. Some species of Euglena are photoautotrophs like plants which means they have ability to trap sunlight to produce food by the process of photosynthesis. Whereas, some species are heterotrophs like animals which means they obtain food by feeding on other organisms.

If scientists remove all of the chloroplasts from a Euglena, it will not be able to perform photosynthesis because chloroplast is an organelle that contains light sensitive pigments named as chlorophyll. Chlorophyll traps light energy from sun. Sunlight energy, along with carbon dioxide and water produces food in the form of glucose in plants and other photoautotrophs.

What is the name of the structure that composers most of the cell membrane?
noname [10]

The cell membrane consists of three classes of amphipathic lipids: phospholipids, glycolipids, and sterols. The amount of each depends upon the type of cell, but in the majority of cases phospholipids are the most abundant, often contributing for over 50% of all lipids in plasma membranes.
