Answer:

The correct answer would be levodopa/carbidopa.

Tolcapone is a drug used as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa combination medication.

These drugs are used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Tolcapone is used to inhibit enzyme COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase).

In the brain, levodopa is converted into dopamine which helps in controlling the movement.

Carbidopa helps in preventing the breakdown of levodopa in the blood which allows more levodopa to enter the brain. In addition, it helps in reducing the side-effects associated with levodopa such as vomiting, nausea et cetera.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

As the beetles have a uniform distribution, at a carrying capacity of 14,600 beetles, there are about 128 beetles per hectare. Because 55 hectares are now unlivable, the carrying capacity would decrease by about 7,040 individuals (55 × 128).

Therefore, the carrying capacity of the ecosystem will be (old carrying capacity – decrease in carrying capacity) = (14,600 – 7,040) = 7,560 beetles.
