So far in this course, we have seen decomposers that are from the fungi kingdom and decomposers from the animal kingdom (termite

s, pill bugs). Despite sharing the same mode of nutrition, these organisms are extremely different.
What is the key difference in the energy tradeoff in how fungi and animals decompose material? How does the body plan of each support this? (2 points)
If both types of organisms are in the same environment competing (i.e. on a log), which do you think would be more successful? Provide an explanation supporting your choice.

Answer:

Explanation:

What is the key difference in the energy tradeoff in how fungi and animals descompose material? How does the body plan of each support this?

The fungi kingdom is in charge of material descomposition, their mechanisms for doing this is by their toxins, which are the substances that they produce that descompose the material. On the other hand, the descomponers from the animal kingdom (termites, pill bugs) have a digestive system in which they use their body enzymes to descompose organic materials. Those are their different descomposition materials.

If both types of organisms are in the same environment competing, which do you think would be more successful?

I think that the fungi kingdom would be more successful if is competing for nutrients against the animal kingdom. This is because the fungi kingdom doesn´t need too much time to appear and act, they only need a little quantity of humidity on the environment, and once they appear, they start acting really quickly.

For example, if I leave a piece of cheese on the fridge and is not at the correct temperature, it is more likely for a fungus to appear and descompose the cheese than an animal to appear because the fridge would be completely closed.

When neurons "fire," the first thing that happens is that sodium ions enter the cell. this does not require an input of energy.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer;

One can infer that membrane transport proteins are required in order for neurons to fire.

Explanation;

Transport proteins are proteins that transport substances across biological membranes. Transport proteins are found within the membrane itself, where they form a channel, or a carrying mechanism, to allow their substrate to pass from one side to the other.

-Transport proteins transport materials such as; ions such as sodium and potassium; sugars such as glucose; proteins and messenger molecules; and many more. In neurons, they  play a fundamental role in the functioning of nerve cells. These transporters, a third class of membrane transport proteins, move a wide variety of ions and molecules across cell membranes.

14. Operons allow prokaryotes to
Vladimir79 [104]
14: Operons allow prokaryotes to replicate DNA at the appropriate time.

Operons are specific regions of genes that are linked to a singular process. They ensure that the expression of these genes does not go unchecked and only occurs when necessary. Two key examples of this in humans are the lac operon and trp operon. 

15. The central dogma of molecular biology is:

DNA to RNA to Proteins

Protein Synthesis occurs in 3 steps. 

First our DNA is translated into RNA. Next the RNA is sequenced into Amino Acids by reading the corresponding 3-Base Codons. These Amino Acid sequences form various protein structures.

Do pandas blink? If so why or why not?
In-s [12.5K]
Pandas only blink sometimes because they are looking out for danger most of the time. Like other mammals, they have an upper and lower eyelid, so yes they do blink, but not as much as humans.
