Answer:

a. inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase, the enzyme that converts cAMP to AMP.

Explanation:

The phosphodiesterases are a group of enzymes that are capable of breaking phosphodiester bonds such as those between nucleotides in nucleic acids. The Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger involved in intracellular signaling pathways. This molecule (cAMP) is hydrolyzed by the cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase, which catalyzes the enzymatic breakdown of phosphodiester bonds (i.e., hydrolyzing cAMP to 5-AMP). The cAMP levels are modulated by the balance between its generation and the degradation via cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

Which number in the diagram represent the mangroves and algae in a mangrove swamp?
disa [49]

Answer: A. 1

Mangrove swamps are wetland ecosystem found in the coastal area. These are found in regions where water body and terrestrial land meets. These ecosystem are dominated by mangrove trees due to their ability to servive in harsh saline water conditions. The roots of mangrove trees exhibit salt filteration system. These trees are habitat of many bird and animal species. The roots of these trees provide shelter, to underwater aquatic plant and animal species such as algea, prawns, sponges and fishes. Mangroves trees and algea are primary producers of the food chain in mangrove ecosytem. Mangrove tree leaves are eaten up by herbivores insects and algal species are consumed by large number of sea animals. Hence, mangrove tree and algea will be on the 1 number of the food chain.
