1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct answer is:

population of the predator species is larger and the populations of the prey species are smaller. (C)

Explanation:

apparent competition occurs occurs between two species or group of organisms that do not directly compete for resources affect each other indirectly by being prey to the same predator. For example consider three species of organisms; sparrows, earthworms and beetles, where earthworms and beetles are preys of the sparrows, an increase in the population of earthworms will in the long term lead to an increase in the population of sparrows, which means that more predators will be available, leading to a decrease in the population of beetles, because more predators are available to prey on them. Also a decrease in the population of earthworms will also lead to a decrease in the population of beetles because their probability of being seen by the predators will increase leading to an increase in their killing.

Therefore in apparent competition, although it occurs between two prey species, their in an increase in the number of predators and a decrease in the population of the prey.

Which enzyme(s) involved in fatty acid synthesis utilize ATP? Select all that apply.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a. Acetyl CoA carboxylase  

Explanation:

Much of the fatty acids used by the body is supplied by the diet, excessive amounts of carbohydrates and protein obtained from the diet can be converted to fatty acids and stored as triglycerides. Fatty acid synthesis occurs mainly in the liver and mammary glands, and to a lesser extent in adipose tissue and kidney, the process incorporates acetyl CoA carbons into the forming fatty acid chain using ATP and NADPH.

The acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is transported to cytosol as citrate, produced by condensation of oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA, the first reaction of the citric acid cycle, this occurs when the concentration of mitochondrial citrate is high, observed when there is a high concentration of ATP and isocitrate dehydrogenase is inhibited.  The increase of citrate and ATP favors the synthesis of fatty acids, since this pathway needs both. Acetyl CoA should be converted to malonyl CoA. Carboxylation is catalyzed by acetyl CoA carboxylase and requires ATP, this reaction is the regulated step in fatty acid synthesis: it is inactivated by products, malonyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, and activated by citrate, another regulatory mechanism is reversible phosphorylation of enzyme, which makes it inactive due to the presence of adrenaline / glucagon

What are some examples of genetic diversity
Lena [83]

Explanation:

Woody plants, such as trees, tend to have more genetic diversity, on the whole, than vascular plants, such as grasses. Part of the diversity is due to the size of each species' geographic range and how far they can move their genetic information, for example through wind pollination or animal seed dispersers
