Explain how the carrying capacity becomes smaller when the ecological footprint increases

1 answer:

8 0

Carrying capacity is the # of organisms an environment can support before overpopulation occurs. If the ecological footprint increases the environment is being degraded and therefore less organisms can inhabit that area.

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF) from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.

Morgarella [4.7K]

It is important that antibodies have a symmetrical quaternary structure to create two identical binding sites for antigens. An antibody is a relatively large protein having a Y-shape. Plasma cells produce antibodies which are then used by the immune system to fight off pathogens (e.g. bacteria and virus). The antibody is able to recognize the antigen of the pathogen. It binds with it either to neutralize it directly or “tag” the microbe for future attack by other parts of the immune system.
