Gluconeogenesis is a ubiquitous process, present in plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms.[2] In vertebrates, gluconeogenesis takes place mainly in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the cortex of the kidneys. In ruminants, this tends to be a continuous process.[3] In many other animals, the process occurs during periods of fasting, starvation, low-carbohydrate diets, or intense exercise. The process is highly endergonic until it is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP, effectively making the process exergonic. For example, the pathway leading from pyruvate to glucose-6-phosphate requires 4 molecules of ATP and 2 molecules of GTP to proceed spontaneously. Gluconeogenesis is often associated with ketosis. Gluconeogenesis is also a target of therapy for type

The 14 different species of finches in the galapagos islands originated from a single ancestral species. what is it about these

Daniel [21]

These islands have different ecologies and most are not connected to each other by landmass. Therefore, the organism adapt to each of the different ecologies on their islands. These populations were physically separated due to lack of connection to each other and would not breed randomly. They therefore formed different species by allopatric speciation.

Answer and Explanation:

The difference between a food chain and a food web:

Food Chain

- Only one possible direct line of energy going through organisms

- Consists of usually 4-6 organisms

Food Web

- Multiple links that branch off in a web-like form, with some organisms being interconnected with each other.

The answer is the third option: A food chain represents one possible pathway that energy and matter can take in an ecosystem. A food web contains multiple, interconnected food chains and describes how energy and matter moves through an entire ecosystem.

Select all of the following statements that represent examples of predation. Check All That Apply Deer eat the leaves of a tree.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

A snail eats a clam.

Explanation:

Interactions always occur between organisms in an ecosystem. An interaction between two organisms is called SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis consists other types which includes PREDATION. Predation is a kind of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one kills and feeds on the other in order to obtain energy. The organism that kills is called the PREDATOR while the organism that is killed is called PREY.

In this example, a snail feeding on a clam best represents the example because the snail (PREDATOR) is obtaining energy by killing the clam (PREY). In other options, no organism is killed.
