Regarding biological productivity, what do you think is the best explanation for the trend in changing biomass shown in the figu

re below?
A.) This is best explained by an increase in the number of predators as you move away from the coast. The increase in predators decreases the number of organisms (i.e., biomass) at lower trophic levels.
B.) This is a best explained by a reduction in oxygen as one moves away from the coast. The reduction in oxygen limits aerobic cellular respiration and leads to a decrease in biomass as one moves away from the coast.
C.) This is best explained by a reduction in the availability of food as one moves away from the coast. Input of nutrients (from runoff and less commonly upwelling) fuels primary production, thus allowing a greater number of producers and energy availability for higher trophic levels.
D.) This is best explained by the great pressure at depth as one moves away from the coast. This pressure makes it harder for organisms to survive and thus reduces biomass away from the coast.

I think the answer is D
as A would mean that the abyssopelagic organisms would be best adapted and therefore a large biomass which isn't the case and it isn't B nor C so it must be D

Hope that helps

Proteins are three dimensional molecules made of strands of amino acids (imagine a ball of string). There are 20 different amino
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A series of nonpolar amino acids would most likely be located in the interior region of the tridimensional molecule.

Explanation:

Proteins are formed by linearly arranged amino acids, each with a side chain: the R-group.

Of the 20 different amino acids that compose the proteins, about half of them -10- are non-polar. Their R-groups are not stable if they are in contact with water, meaning that non-polar amino acids are hydrophobic.

When proteins are synthesized, they acquire a three-dimensional structure that makes them more stable. Lineal polypeptides get folded and turn into a shape that makes them more stable in the environment and capable of accomplishing their biological role. When they are in an aqueous media, their bent shape leaves the hydrophilic R-groups in contact with water. The hydrophilic R-groups stick in the center of the polypeptide, facing the protein interior, and avoiding interaction with water.

Which descriptions apply to prokaryotic cells? Check all that apply.
tester [92]

Answer:

1. Are usually single-celled.

2. Do not contain membrane-bound organelles

3. Have DNA located in cytoplasm

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells are single-celled organisms which have the following characters:

1. They lack a true nucleus and hence, they do not have their genetic material enclosed in a nuclear membrane-bound nucleus, rather it is present in the cytoplasm.

2. They lack all the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, etc.

3. They are usually. very small in size and hence are microscopic.

Examples include all the bacterias.
