how is the loss of a keystone species from an ecosystem similar to and different from the loss of an indicator species

Biology
1 answer:
MrRa [10]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Keystone species are the species present in a particular ecosystem that plays an important role as it directly influences the diversity of a community. It does not get affected by the abundance or the numbers of the community. Without the keystone species, ecosystems could not be able to exist altogether or change dramatically.

An indicator species is a species whose number or absence or presence reflects or indicates a specific environmental condition. It can help in determining a change in the biological condition of a particular ecosystem.

Loss of a keystone species or indicator species help in indications for some type of environmental condition, however, the loss of the indicator species takes place due to some change whereas the keystone species is itself affects the particular ecosystem.

Assume a cell with the following properties: [Na]out = 120 mM; [Na]in = 12 mM [K]out = 5 mM; [K]in = 125 mM Membrane is permeabl
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

This statement is not correct because the Na+ equilibrium potential remains the same, it is only depends on concentration gradient.

Explanation:

Na+ influx will increase, but Na+ equilibrium potential will not change because the concentration of K+ ions are high inside the membrane and that of Na+ ions are high too outside the membrane. Membrane potential will be generated that helps in the diffusion of the ions through the pore in both in and outside of the cell. When the concentration of Na+ ions increase, Na+ ions diffuse from outside to the inside of the cell therefore increase the influx

Humans have a well defined range of pH tolerance; 7.35-7.45. In the context of molecules and macromolecules, what effects might
Evgen [1.6K]
Hello
The pH range of tolerance for humans is well defined and very small for a number of reasons.
First, we must understand that all biological reactions in our body are carried out by biological catalysts called enzymes. These enzymes operate under specific pH and and temperature conditions. Deviation from these conditions will result in inefficiency of the enzymes' functions. This may be observed macroscopic-ally as poor digestion among other things.
Next, an equilibrium is necessary for the movement of CO2 in red blood cells. CO2 is kept in equilibrium in the form of carbonic acid. This equilibrium may be disturbed by the change in pH; resulting in a difficulty to breathe. 
Other effects such as fatigue, headaches and nausea may also be observed as the blood circulates throughout your body and its functions will be impaired by the changed pH.

How does accretion add to the surface area of a continent?
vodomira [7]

Accretion is a process by which material is added to a tectonic plate or a landmass. This material may be sediment, volcanic arcs, seamounts or other igneous features. There are two types of geologic accretion—plate accretion and landmass accretion. The Plate accretion involves the addition of material to a tectonic plate. The Landmass accretion involves the addition of sediment to a coastline or riverbank, increasing land area.
