Explain why food webs give more accurate representation of feeding relationships than a food chain?

1 answer:

6 0

Food webs are different than food chains because a food web is an area of the residents/ organisms living in an area. Example:

The forest of Connecticut has a food web of all of the below in the order they go in;
Decomposers: Mushrooms, fungi, bacteria.
Producers: Plants, trees etc.
Consumers: Mice, Squirrels, birds.
Secondary consumers: Snakes, Owls.
Primary consumers that eat the secondary consumers: Wolfs, Coyotes, vaulters.
Scavengers: they eat the remains of the carcass of the Primary consumers.
Then the food web starts over, unlike a Food chain that shows all of the animals in one country or state that shows every step and gets way too complicated and misses some important details. Hope this helps :D

Various protozoa can divide several times, producing several daughter cells, by _____. A. binary fission

trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above is option B. Various protozoa can divide several times, producing several daughter cells, by multiple fission. Multiple fission is defined as the division of cells several times producing several nuclei. In the separation of the cytoplasm, this then produce multiple daughter cells.

Know the difference between lipid soluble and water soluble hormones and how they elicit their effects on target cells.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Water soluble hormone binds to the membrane bound receptors whereas lipid soluble hormones bind to the internal/intracellular receptors.

Explanation:

Hormones are called regulators because they can either stimulate or inhibit the target cell's activity.

They perform their action by binding to specific protein on target tissue called hormone receptors. Each receptor is specific for a particular hormone. The hormone-receptor complex bring about the biochemical changes in the target cell.

Hydrophillic or water soluble hormones interact with the membrane bound receptors. They result in the generation of secondary messengers such as cyclic AMP. Secondary messengers bring about the cascading action amplifying the final effect. That is why even a very small quantity of hormone is sufficient for a powerful cascading effect.

Lipid soluble hormones can diffuse through the plasma membrane and thus they bind to the intracellular receptors. The hormone-internal receptor complex enters the mucleus and regulates gene expression. Example: steroid hormones and thyroid hormones.

If an enzyme inhibitor binds at a site other than the active site of the enzyme, the nature of the inhibitor is described as

icang [17]

Answer:

B. non-competitive

Explanation:

As opposed as competitive inhibition, the non-competitive one does not bind with the active region of the enzyme. However, it does reduce the efficiency of the reaction because it changes the protein structure, making it unavailable for substrate.

Reversibility is related to the possibility of the reaction to be undone. If the bond is covalent, the enzyme will not return to its active state, so that would be a non-reversible bind.
