Tasting involves many different cell-signaling processes that ultimately generate nerve signals transduced by membrane depolariz

ation. Sweet tastes result in PIP2 hydrolysis, while salty tastes allow sodium ions to directly alter the membrane potential. What can you deduce about the signaling mechanisms for sweet and salty?

Answer:

We can deduce that:

1. Sodium ions directly enters the cells, indicating  the signal is transduced by an ion channel.

2. Sweet utilizes the GRCP signaling pathway, activating phospholipase C.

Explanation:

IN SALTY, the Sodium ion passes through dynamic various chambers that can be located on the apical membrane  of the taste buds.

Sweet utilizes GRCP signaling pathway va activation of phospholipase C in order to produce IP3 and DAG.

An area in a forest was cleared to build a road. Which two of the following will be likely effects on the ecosystem?
andrey2020 [161]
C is most likely because when the forest is cleared, animals usually will not adapt instantly, the trees will have less room therefor probably will not grow more, and evolution takes a very long time, therefor the species might die out before they can evolve.

Which type of natural selection occurs when an intermediate phenotype is favored?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.

Explanation:

There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.

A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.

A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.

The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.
