Answer:

The Elephant can be defined as a KEYSTONE SPECIE

Explanation:

A KEYSTONE SPECIE is an animal specie that maintains an ecosystem relative to their population. These species' activities, play a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem. In this case, the elephant's activity of uprooting trees, helps in keeping the ecosystem in check, and support its current inhabitants.

What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons?
RSB [31]

Answer:

B. 26amu

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom in an element contains protons, electrons and neutrons. The proton number equals the electron number in a neutral atom. The proton number is also called the atomic number, denoted by Z.

The mass number also called Atomic mass unit (amu) in this case, of an element is the sum of the proton number and the neutron number in the atom of that element. The mass number is denoted by A.

Hence, A = Z + N

Where A = Mass number

Z = Proton (atomic number)

N = Neutron number

In this question, N is 11 while Z is 15

Hence, the mass number of the element in the question, in AMU, is 15 + 11 = 26amu.

Maintenance of normal intracellular fluid volume depends largely on the intracellular concentration of _____ ions.
kogti [31]

The answer is D. Extracellular, the main ions involve in osmoregulation in a cell are sodium and chloride. Intra-and extracellular distribution of K+ is influenced, for example, by Na+/K+-ATPase function, pH, Cellular catabolism and anabolism, Insulin and glucose. Parathormone and calcitriol are important in the homeostatic regulation of phosphates.

Individuals producing an abnormal form of the extracellular matrix protein, fibrillin, is a result of ______.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Indivisuals with producing an abnormal form of extracellular protein fibrillin are suffering from Marfan syndrome ehich is caused by genetic mutation in the FBN1 gene.

Explanation:

Gene mutations in FBN1 gene results in the production of an abnormal extracellular matrix fibrillin-1 protein that cannot function properly. These gene mutations basically reduce the amount of fibrillin-1 produced by the cell, alter the structure of fibrillin-1, or causes the impairment of the transport of fibrillin-1 out of the cell.

As a result, protein is poorly incorporated into extracellular matrix. Hence, indivisuals with Marfan syndrome present following symptoms

Tall stature.

Disproportionately long arms, legs and fingers.

Sternum either protrudes outward or dips inward.

Arched palate and crowded teeth.

Heart murmurs.

Extreme nearsightedness.
