Why do scientist use models

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A model is used to help scientists visualise things that they cannot actually see. It can be thought of as a thinking tool, to help form explanations. Models are useful simplifications to aid understanding. ... It can then be used to explain further phenomena and to make predictions of future behaviour.

When an environment is hypotonic what happens to the cell?​
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will take in water across their membrane until both the external solution and the cytosol are isotonic. A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution.

List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.

Proteins carry out a variety of functions and their function is critically dependent upon their structure and shape. enzymes are
fenix001 [56]
A protein that is exposed to heat or drastic change in pH will have its structure affected. Conditions that are beyond the optimum conditions for the survival of  proteins will affect their structures adversely, causing them to lose their unique three dimensional structures. This is in turn will leads to the denaturation of the proteins and the proteins will no longer be able to perform their original functions.
