The correct answer is - A. The population of predators could increase.

If in a particular food web a new prey animals are introduced, that will most likely result in the increase of the populations of the predators in that food web. The reason why the populations of the predators would increase is that there will be more pray to hunt, and more food means that the predators can increase in numbers and not suffer from food shortage.

Still, while this the most likely scenario, it has to be taken with a little bit of reserve, as it also depends on what kind of prey animal would be introduced in the food web, and what kind of predators are there in the food web. If lets say a prey animal that is large is introduced, like the buffalo, and the predators in that food web are small to medium sized predators like the genette, caracal, serval, honey badger, than there will be no increase in the predator populations as they will not be able to hunt the introduced pray animal.

Why will salivary amylase not break down protein
Free_Kalibri [48]
Salivary amylase is an enzyme that is found in saliva in the mouth. It is an enzyme that only recognizes the glycosidic bonds between molecules of simple sugars that form the carbohydrate polymers. It specifically targets these bonds and breaks them and does not recognize any other bonds of different substances such as protein. Salivary amylase is alkaline in nature and cannot work in the stomach. It breaks the glycosidic bonds between the glucose molecules in starch to form maltose. Maltose is later broken down further by pancreatic amylase, into individual units of glucose.

Which of the following statements is true of ribosomes?
Delvig [45]

Answer: A) They are the site of protein synthesis.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are small round organelles attached to the endoplasmic reticulum in cells, and serve as site of protein synthesis. This is possible because the transfer RNA assembles amino acids to form polypeptide chains right in the ribosomes.

Thus, ribosomes are site of protein synthesis
