Answer:

C. The maximum number of individuals of a particular species that an environment can support

Explanation:

Picture a graph, a logistic function, it's called, where it levels off at a horizontal asymptote in the positive quadrant. That's a visual representation of the carrying capacity. It's the maximum population the environment can support.

Clearly, there are limits to this. Scientists wonder what Earth's carrying capacity is, and if/when we will exceed it.

Leno4ka [110]

a. energy; sunlight

b. hydrogen sulfide (H2S); sunlight

c. sunlight; water

d. sunlight; carbohydrates

e. sunlight; sulfuric acid

Answer:

b. hydrogen sulfide (H2S); sunlight

Explanation:

Some autotrophic organisms do not use the energy of sunlight to fix the inorganic simpler substances such as CO2 into the organic sugars. These organisms perform oxidation of chemical compounds. The energy released from the oxidation of organic or inorganic chemicals is used to fix CO2 into sugars. These organisms are called chemotrophs. Some chemotrophs such as sulfur-oxidizing bacteria use H2S as a source of energy to fix CO2.

The group of enzymes able to relax supercoils in dna is called
LuckyWell [14K]
TOPOISOMERASE

There are various function of DNA toposisomerase such as:

1.accessing DNA- this happens during transcription and replication, DNA must be unwound for this to happen, Topoisomerase I make a single break to create an access.

2. Removing DNA super coils- Topoisomerase prevents DNA to be supercoiled, this happens during transcription of DNA to RNA

3. Strand breakage- It can introduce single strand breaks that are required for DNA to be exchanged to adjacent chromosomes.
