The impact of a sufficiently large asteroid or comet is one of the theories that have been put forward to explain why dinosaurs,

as well as many other plant and animal species, became extinct 65 million years ago. Why would this extinction-level event have had such a major impact on Life on Earth?

Answer:

Because the biodiversity decreases.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is richer when it has a higher biodiversity, remember that each living thing has an specific role in the food web. When in an ecosystem this web is bigger, increases the probability of sustain a living thing. For example, in the sea, if there is a fish, this is going to be more probabilities of survive if this fish can eat different plants or other fish. But if in the ecosystem there are not a variety of them, it probability to survive is less if one of it food desapear.

Answer:

Option b. Lowering the pH to kill pathogenic bacteria is correct answer.

Explanation:

bacterial motors are sensitive to pH.  By decreasing the pH bacterial motors stops working. This was identified in a new research.  But, with the weak acids and a lower internal pH they slow and ultimately stop moving (became dead).

Reference: Powell, K. Acid stops bacteria swimming. Nature (2003).

In the electron transport system
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.

Explanation:

In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.

These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.

Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.

NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.

The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.

If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.

What happens in your body to cause you to get a fever?
andriy [413]

The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.

The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
