Why is an ecosystem never constant?

Lots of factors play different kinds of roles on ecosystems.
Ecosystems are never constant because there are so many levels and layers of animals to each one. It's impossible for the headcount of each species to stay the same within an ecosystem when instances such as flooding, drought, poisoning, and hunting can take part. 
Let's say the hawk, who is over the bunny on the pyramid, gets poisoned by water. Now, there's fewer hawks, which means there's less predators to hunt the bunnies, hence causing more bunnies and even increasing the chance of overpopulation. 
The animals within ecosystems keep each other in check, but numbers are constantly going up and down as things happen. Natural disasters, pollution, and anything such as, effects the ecosystem, therefore it cannot remain constant.

A researcher synthesizes a new molecule called inhibitor X that inhibits the activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK), the enzyme t
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer : The dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM

Explanation :

The expression for reversible competitive inhibition when apparent Km affected by addition of the inhibitor is:

K_m_a=K_m[1+\frac{I}{K_i}]

where,

K_m_a = apparent value = 52 µM

K_m = Michaelis–Menten constant = 40 µM

I = inhibitor concentration = 1.5 µM

K_i = dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

52\mu M=40\mu M[1+\frac{1.5\mu M}{K_i}]

K_i=5\mu M

Therefore, the dissociation constant of the PFK‑inhibitor complex is, 5 µM

Savatey [412]
Emperor penguins have the ability to 'recycle' their own body heat. The arteries and veins lie close together so that blood is pre-cooled on the way to a penguin's feet, wings and bill and warmed on the way back to the heart. Emperors' feet are adapted to the icy conditions
