As for this problem, the most probable answer and the most likely answer for this one would be D. the effect of pesticides on organisms in the environment.
A toxicologist would only study about chemicals and their effect on organisms in the environment. Pesticides are chemicals made to combat organisms that aren't wanted particular parts of the environment such as crops and rice field. These pesticides don't just affect those organisms that are targeted, but even the users and other organisms that may have come in contact with pesticides.
A community refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location or area. This is part of the levels of organization of life. Arranged from the least complex to most
complex it falls 8th in the category. Below are the organization of life:<span>
a. Organelles - the basic part of a living
organism. It refers to the different structures of the cell, whether
prokaryotic or eukaryotic. (Ex. Mitochondria, nucleus)
b. Cells - building blocks of life that are
composed of different molecules responsible for the function of an organism.
(Example: prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells)
c. Tissues - combinations of cells that carry
out a specific function in an organism. (Example: Human skin)
d. Organs - collections of tissues that perform
specific functions. (Ex. heart, lungs)
e. Organ Systems - composed of interconnected
organs that function as a whole. Many organisms, particularly mamamals, are
composed of organ systems. (Ex. respiratory, circulatory systems)
f. Organisms – individual entities that
specifically make-up a population. (Ex. Each tree in the forest is an organism,
each animal in sea is an organism)</span>
g. Population – species living within a specific location. It could be
the same or different species that inhabit a place. (Ex. Birds are species in
the forest as well as bears)
h. Community – refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location. (Ex. All of the trees, insects, birds that inhabit the
forest are a community)
i. Ecosystem – consists of all living things that function together as a
group which also includes the non-living parts of the environment. (Ex. Rain
water, nitrogen in the soil)
<span>j. Biosphere – the highest organization of life that consist of all the
collection of ecosystems in the planet. It includes the land, air, water, even
the atmosphere of the planet. </span>
Answer:
The data from the experiment support the claim that the similar regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by hepatocytes occurs when the cells are treated with growth hormone or insulin results from the activation of different signaling pathways
Explanation:
If we take a look on the graph, it shows increase in the phosphorylated protein when the growth hormone or insulin is applied to the cells with the passage of time. At 15 minutes , it reaches to its highest level but after 15 minutes of addition of growth hormone and insulin, the level of phosphorylated protein decrease when the time exceeds from 15 minutes to 240 minutes. So it is concluded that growth hormones or insulin increase the level of phosphorylated protein.
Answer:
c. Glycolysis evolved in an oxygen-rich environment.
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate. It is a common pathway that is performed by both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. In aerobic organisms, glycolysis is followed by Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain. In anaerobic organisms, alcohol or lactic acid fermentation regenerate the NAD+ which is required to sustain glycolysis.
Therefore, glycolysis is independent of oxygen availability and can be performed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. This means that the pathway of glycolysis evolved under anaerobic conditions.
