three sentences about the role termites play in modifying the natural proses of water carbon or nitrogen cycle

Biology

Answer:  

-help to store water in the soil (by increasing infiltration) rather than evaporating (enabling the plants survive long periods of drought)

-mix inorganic and organic compounds in the soil (and thus it can better resist the process of erosion)

-termite’s feces help to prevent erosion  

Explanation:

Decomposers break down complex organic matter into basic compounds containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium, generating water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) during this process. Termites are critical in an ecosystem because they are decomposers, i.e., they are recyclers that break down organic material into nutrient-rich soil. For example, termites digest the cellulose from dead plants (due to the presence of specific bacteria in their digestive tract), thus allowing the carbon cycle.

One method for separating polypeptides utilizes their different solubilities. The solubility of large polypeptides in water depe
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Polypeptides are composed of amino acids, and we know amino acids are differently charged, have different R groups, and also have different isoelectric points. Depending on different isoelectric points and charged groups, the polypeptides can be separated and because a protein has its lowest solubility on its isoelectric point.

So in this question,

(a) (Lys-Ala)3 ; this is highly positively charged (polar) at pH 7 than (Gly)20 which is uncharged except for the amino and carboxyl terminal.

(b) (Glu)20 ; it is highly negatively charged at pH 7 whereas (Phe-Met)3 is much less polar and hence less soluble.

(c) (Asn-Ser-His)5 ; at pH 3, because in (Ala-Asp-Gly)5 the carboxylate groups of Asp residues are partially protonated and neutral, whereas in (Asn-Ser-His)5 , the imidazole groups of His residues are fully protonated and positively charged.

(d) (Asn-Ser-His)5; at pH 6.0; both polymers have polar Ser sidechains, but (Asn-Ser-His)5 also has the polar Asn side chains and partially protonated His side chains.

Predict how many genetically different offspring could be produced by outcrossing two 2n=4 individuals (just account for indepen
Llana [10]

Answer:

16 genetically different offspring

Explanation:

This is the case as each parent has the ability to produce 4 uniquely different gametes through independent assortment. With such a scenario where each parent can product 4 uniquely different gametes multiplied by 4 parents, you have 16 offspring. So there's the possibility of producing 16 offspring that are unique.

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

help to form a plug to stop bleeding during hemostasis

Explanation:

Platelets are one of the three types of blood cells. Platelets are involved in the formation of blood clots. Platelet vesicles have clotting factors and other substances required for the formation of a platelet plug during homeostasis. A break or damage in the lining of blood vessels exposes the underlying collagen fibers and the connective tissues. Platelets adhere to these fibers to initiate the formation of a platelet plug. These adhered platelets release substances to trigger the other platelets to join and form aggregate. This aggregate of platelets is called a platelet plug.
