What would happen if a major predator was removed from the food web?

Biology

Mashutka [201]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Prey population explosion

Explanation:

If a major predator is removed from the ecosystem, it will disturb the predator-prey relationship in the ecosystem that will result in the direct increase in the prey population. This phenomenon is called population explosion where there is no check and balance on the prey population.

For example, if there is a major predator in the forest ecosystem it will feed on herbivores and keep their population at a certain level. This is called predator-prey balance where predators kill prey which in-turn cause food scarcity for predators and leads to a decrease in predator population too. So if any major predator is removed from ecosystem it will disturb this intricate balance.

Hope it helps!

when non-nerve cells become involved in response to signals, which type of receptor goes into action? (A) intracellular receptor
Musya8 [376]

The correct answer is:

(D) enzyme linked receptor

When non-nerve cells become involved in response to signals, the type of receptor that goes into action is the enzyme linked receptor.

Explanation:

An enzyme-linked receptor, also identified as a catalytic receptor, is a trans -membrane receptor, where the adhesive of an extracellular ligand produces an enzymatic action on the intracellular side. Hence a catalytic receptor is an integral membrane protein containing both enzymatic catalytic and receptor functions.

The structure of protein molecules describe ?
artcher [175]
Proteins are polymers composed of repeating units of amino acids, linked via peptide bonds (bonds between the amine and carboxyl groups of the adjacent amino acids). All proteins have a primary, secondary and tertiary structure and some, such as haemoglobin, have a quaternary structure. 

Primary structure of the proteins are the sequence of amino acids and their order. The "R" regions of the amino acids determine the proteins secondary tertiary and quaternary structures.

In the secondary structure, the protein folds into either an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet. This occurs due to hydrogen bonding between the "R" group of the amino acids.

The tertiary structure gives the protein its 3D shape. Here it is folded further and more bonds (such as disulphide bonds) also form.

In the quaternary structure, prosthetic groups (e.g. a haem group for haemoglobin) is added. If the protein has more than one protein chains, here the chains join to form the final protein.
