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

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!

Kay [80]
An agonist exhibit a positive biological effect similar to the receptor it stimulates. For instance, beta agonists (i.e. Salbutamol) stimulate the beta receptors in the bronchial system therefore leading to bronchodialtion. A competitive antagonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to the receptor binding site before the biological ligand. A non-competitive agonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to an allosteric site leading to a conformational change of the receptor site.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: C.

Explanation

There are higher C-H bonds in lipids than in Carbohydrates.

These C-H bonds stored higher chemical potential energy effectively of thr amount (413 kj/mol.)

Carbohydrates has high C-O glycosidic bonds or linkages of ( 358 kj/mol) which stores low amount of energy compare to C-H bonds.

Futher more higher ATPS are produced during ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN REACTION per molecules of tryglycerides metabolize compare to molecules of glucose because the longer chains of lipids ensures that more C-H bonds broken down ,ans therefore more oxidation to supply protons for ATPS synthesis from.proton pumps.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Transmission electron microscope is the best one due to high magnification power.

Explanation:

Micrographs or photograph obtained from the optical microscope is not very clear because it has the magnification power up to 1000x while the scanning electron microscope has magnification power 30000x which is quiet higher than optical microscope so the micrographs is better than optical microscope and gives more information about the specimen, and the transmission electron microscope has the magnification power up to 500000x which has the highest of magnification so the micrographs obtained from this microscope is the best due to more information about the size and structure of the specimen.
