Answer:
- Ecological levels to consider in this study: organism, population and community
- Approach: I would use an observational approach to study this bird species
Explanation:
The levels of the ecological organization include the organism, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere (from simplest to most complex). In this exploratory study, it is imperative to consider: 1-morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations of the bird species (i.e., organismal-level), 2- size/density/structure of the bird population (i.e., population-level), and 3-interactions between bird population and other populations (i.e., community-level). The higher ecological levels, i.e., ecosystem-level (relationships between the community and abiotic factors ) and biosphere-level (biosphere = planet Earth), can be in this case disregarded because this study is centered on a focus bird species. Moreover, it is expected to apply an observational strategy because nothing is currently known about the focus bird species. The experimental and modeling approaches seem more suitable to test a particular hypothesis being discussed (it is not the case for this study).
Answer:
Jacob and Monod were intellectually primed to draw the conclusions they did concerning regulation of the lac operon. In part, this was due to their fascination with mechanisms of enzyme regulation. They knew that the activity of some enzymes is regulated when their reaction product binds to the enzyme, changing its shape and therefore its activity. This knowledge allowed them to easily make the intellectual leap to propose B) allosteric regulation of the repressor
Explanation:
When we talk about the mechanisms of enzyme regulation, we refer to allosteric regulation of the repressor. The Allosteric control of transcriptional regulatory proteins allows organisms to react to changes in environmental and metabolic conditions. Also, it is s a thermodynamic phenomenon. When it binds one molecule, the affinity with which a protein binds to a second molecule is altered.
