Gause's experiments on two species of paramecium with very similar niches allowed him to formulate the principle of competitive

exclusion. however, he also performed a similar experiment with a third species of paramecium that spends more time swimming on the bottom of the jars, and this species was able to coexist with the first which spent more time in the middle of the jars. what ecological principle does this second experiment illustrate?

The given example suggests the principle of resource partitioning.

The resource partitioning is a method of division of resources present in a particular niche to avoid the competition. In this case, the organism divide the regions having the abundant resources and they do not interfere in each others region.

In this case, the resource partition takes place by dividing the regions in the flask. one species use he resources present in the middle region and other uses the resource in the bottom.

All insertion sequences (is elements) contain two features that are essential for their movement. what are these two elements?
zalisa [80]
These two elements are transposase and terminal repeats. Transposase enzyme binds to the end of a transposon and catalyzes the movement of the transposon to another part of the genome by a cut and paste mechanism or replicative transposition mechanism. Terminal repeats are identical sequences which repeats hundreds or thousands of times, found at the end of proviral DNA formed by reverse transcription of retroviral RNA. They are used by viruses to insert genetic material into the host genomes.

GuDViN [60]
<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

A. lipid

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>Lipids are among the four biomolecules, others being nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and proteins.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Lipids contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of structure and function in living cells. Lipids includes; fats, oils, waxes and certain vitamins.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Lipid can be used for energy storage in the form of fat in animals. Additionally, lipids can be used as heat insulation as fat or adipose tissue under the skin reduces heat loss.</em></u>
<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. The cell membrane contains cholesterol molecules.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The structure of the lipid bi-layer allows small, uncharged substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, and hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, to pass through the cell membrane, down their concentration gradient, by simple diffusion.</u></em>
  • <u><em>Carbon dioxide and oxygen are molecules that can move across the lipid bi-layer without the help from membrane proteins or integral proteins. They are non-polar molecules and thus can easily pass through the hydrophobic interior of a membrane.</em></u>

The monomers of _____ polymers are usually larger and more complexin structure than polymers used to make plastics.
Savatey [412]
I believe the correct word in the blank would be biological. I don't think anything else will fit in, especially when monomers of biological polymers are truly larger and more complex.
