Give a brief explanation of why food webs are preferred over food chains for representing the flow of energy in an ecosystem.

Biology

kow [346]3 years ago
5 0

Answer AND Explanation:

Very often, one type of organism or species in an ecosystem happens to be the same food source for other types of consumers. The different food chains that exist in an ecosystem therefore form a complex network called food web.  Food webs are more complex than food chains and therefore there can be more than one primary producer thus increasing the flow of energy an ecosystem.

When a chromosomes undergoes a deletion mutation, information is ?
Readme [11.4K]
Well,

By the word "deletion" we can deduce that information is lost.  Therefore, when a chromosome undergoes a deletion mutation, information is lost.  This can have disastrous effects if it is a human chromosome.

Like all enzymes, restriction endonucleases (REs) need to be handled very carefully to ensure that they do not denature. Which o
andriy [413]

Answer:

The correct answer is:  d. REs activity is best preserved by freezing the RE and thawing it out for brief periods of time as needed.

Explanation:

  • Restriction enzymes can be defined as endonucleases that can recognize specific nucleotide sequence in a DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) sequence and cause breakage of phosphodiester bond in the DNA at the target site. Hence, it has the capacity of cleaving a DNA sequence.
  • These are made up of proteins which are required to be present in the accurately folded conformation in order to function.
  • Any form of alteration in the three-dimensional structure of the protein induced due to physical, chemical, mechanical or physiological factors can cause denaturation of the protein which in turn can render the protein non-functional.
  • Freezing of restriction enzymes (REs) directly without the use of glycerol will cause the movement of water molecules within the proteins as well layering of water molecules on the protein surface.
  • At low temperature these water molecules change to ice crystals which can alter the conformation of the protein or can cause breakage of peptide bonds in the proteins by physical force.
  • This can cause the protein to get denatured and hence non-functional.
  • Hence, it is never advisable to preserve REs by freezing directly without glycerol.
  • Glycerol forms a layer around the protein molecules and prevents the protein molecules from coming into direct contact with the water molecules and hence prevents protein denaturation.

If a scientist were to study the organisms in your ecosystem what questions might they ask
aliina [53]

Answer:

I would write a question about relationships between predators and prey of a given ecosystem.

Explanation:

An example question is:

a.) "Draw a predator-prey graph that shows the relationship between lions and zebras."

b.) "Explain the trends of the above graph with regard to increase and decrease of the prey of predators."

I hope that made sense :)

Good luck.
