Answer:
Rafflesia arnoldii is a tropical plant with a huge blood-red flower, which emits heat and emits the smell of decomposed meat. What use are these adaptations to this plant
Explanation:
The smell is adaptation for pollination.This is because it attracts insects which carry on the process of pollination.
Its possible Endothermy characteristic is for mimicry Its releases heat to attract the pollinators- blowflies.The endothermic mechanism is well pronounced during flora development: which further buttress the fact that this is related to pollination to attract blowflies, and not to thermoregulation.
Answer:
All animals alike as heterotrophs beacuse animals cannot prepare their own food.
Explanation:
Heterotrophs may be defined as the organisms that will depend upon plants or other animals for their food. They are unable to synthesize their own food.
All animals are heterotrophs as they depends on the other organisms for the production of food. All animals are also referred as consumers.
As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green
Answer:
A. Sediment
Explanation:
As water flows, it both breaks down rocks and picks up soil. When the pieces of rock and soil are travelling in water, they are called sediment.
The pKa represents the pH of the medium at which the zwitterionic amino acid assumes most stable ionic form due to structural stabilization. As the pKa is dependent upon the environmental factors of the solution around the amino acids, a change in their structure and localization can cause change in the pKa of the protein. Thus, the answers can be found as below:
Part A: Decrease (As the lysine is basic in nature, it will tend to stabilize the electrostatic interaction and weak interactions between the acidic amino acids and hydrogen bonds in the viscinity, thus lowering the pH and hence pKa of the protein)
Part B: Increase (As the carboxyl group is acidic in nature, removal of it will tend to increase the pKa since the basic amino acids will tend to accumulate more negative charge in their viscinity)
Part C: Increase (As glutamic acid is an acidic amino acid, its shift from outside to a non-polar site will prevents its ionization and hence the pKa will tend to shift from slightly acidic to slightly basic, hence increase)
