In a particular woodland community, two species of rodents coexist: mice and chipmunks. Both species compete for the same kinds

of seeds and nuts. A species of owl that also lives in this woodland community preys on both rodent species. The population sizes of all three species remained fairly constant until several years ago, when the introduction of a parasite dramatically reduced the owl population. The owl population remained low for the next few years as a result. Following the initial reduction in the owl population, there was a dramatic increase in the mouse population and a dramatic decrease in the chipmunk population. Based on these observations, describe the role of the owl in this community and discuss the interspecific competition between chipmunks and mice.

Answer:

First, we take the owl out, the total number of mouse increases at a higher rate and the chipmunks are also decreasing in numbers. In an ideal ecosystem, both mice (lets call it "a") and chipmunks (lets call it "b") should increase since the restraining factor has been removed. But that is the opposite of what we should see. In that case, we will take the owl to be the "limiting factor" for the rodents.

Am

The rodents will have free movement and exercise their fitness over the area, competition sets in between the two species. So we see, a flourishes while b dies out. This can be viewed most predictably that a has an overall greater fitness and would easily get resources and strive readily, which influences the survival rate for 2.

1. Action potential reaches the axon terminal and depolarizes it.

2. Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, enabling influx of Ca into the neuron.

3. Calcium binds to specialized proteins on vesicles (containing pre-made acetylcholine) and triggers them to fuse with the neuron membrane at the synapse.

4. Exocytosis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft occurs.

5. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synapse and binds to nicotinic receptors on the end plate of the myocyte.

6. Activated nicotinic receptors, themselves ion channels, cause cation influx into the myocyte and generate an end plate potential. This eventually gives rise to the full depolarization within the myocyte that enables contraction.

The various parts of the endomembrane system serve different functions in the cell. In this activity, you will identify the role
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Smooth ER:

Lipid synthesis, Calcium ion storage, Poison detoxification

Rough ER:

Protein synthesis

Golgi apparatus:

Protein modification and storage, Cisternal maturation

Lysosomes:

Autophagy, Macromolecule digestion

Explanation:

The endomembrane system is important for the production, processing, and transport of proteins and lipids in the cell.

The smooth ER:

It aids basically in lipid production and processing.

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum, or smooth ER, is an organelle that is observed in animal cells and plant cells. Itd basic function is the production of cellular products such as hormones and lipids.

The rough ER :

It is the spot of secretory protein production.

Rough endoplasmic reticulum is observed in eukaryotic cells. Its basic aid is to synthesize proteins. It consists of cisternae, tubules and vesicles. The cisternae comprise of flattened membrane disks, that play a major role in protein modification.

Golgi apparatus:

It helps in further processing of the proteins produces for the rough ER and then in sending them off in vesicles to the plasma membrane.

It's often termed the cell's post office. It modifies, sorts and arrange proteins for secretion. It aids lipid transportation around the cell, and the production of lysosomes.

Lysosomes:

Its enzymes are synthesized and formed in the rough ER and Golgi apparatus. It aid hydrolysis of macromolecules e.g. phagocytosis and autophagy.

It is involved in digestion and waste removal by feeding on worn-out organelles, food molecules, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
