In the mid 1980s an agressive strain of algae known as Caulerpa was accidentally introduced into the Meditaranean Sea when a sea

side aquarium cleaned out its tanks. The algae conatains a toxin that prevents native herbivores from consuming it. Caulerpa quickly spread over the sea floor, crowding out many species including sponges, corals, sea fans, and lobsters. Which statement explains the most likely impact Caulerpa has had on the biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea? a The presence of Caulerpa within an ecosystem is an indicator of the ecosystems health. b The spread of Caulerpa improved the habitat for many species of sea grasses, and increased the biodiversity. c Caulerpa inter bread with native species within the same adaptations within the ecosystem. d Caulerpa became dominant within the ecosystem and reduced the biodiversity.

<h2>Fatty acid oxidation </h2>

Explanation:

  • Activation of fatty acids (palmitate) occurs in the cytoplasm where fatty acids are activated to fatty acyl CoA, reaction catalysed by an enzyme called fatty acyl CoA synthetase
  • A specialized carnitine carrier system catalyze transportation of activated fatty acid from cytoplasm to matrix of mitochondria, where carnitine system consists of three proteins:
  • Carnitine acyl transferase I located in outer membrane of mitochondria catalyze transfer of carnitine to fatty acyl CoA and produce fatty acyl carnitine
  • Carnitine translocase facilitate passive diffusion of fatty acyl carnitine from inter membrane space to matrix located in inner membrane
  • Carnitine acyl transferase III located in inner mitochondrial membrane at matrix phase catalyze transfer of CoA to fatty acyl carnitine and regenerate fatty acyl CoA

Hence, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are thus kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondria

1. Why are two thick cotton sheets warmer than one single blanket
mash [69]
Since the air is a great thermal isolator, the windows prevent heat exchange better than one made out of a single thick sheet of glass. The air between the thin blankets is not moving around and will form an isolating layer that acts exactly like another blanket, thus improving the thermal isolation
