Answer:  

If the iron rod is placed in the nitrogen then nothing happens. But when the rod of iron is placed in air.

It is also known as iron oxide which takes place when the iron is exposed to moisture and oxygen for a longer period of time.

Oxygen gets attached to iron at an atomic level, forming a compound which is known as an oxide which weakens the metal bond.

Here, this process weakens the iron and corrodes it and makes it unuseful.

Indirect methods like mark and recapture become a strong tool to estimate population size or density in species on which it is impossible to apply a direct methods. <em>Because of their biological and ecological characteristics, the Gypsy moth and the Green lizard populations are good examples  for which  mark and recapture would work well.</em>

<em>------------------------------------------------------</em>

There are different methods to study population density. There are direct methods and indirect methods. Among these last ones, we might find the Mark-Recapture technique.

The Mark-Recapture technique assumes that

  • <em>the population is closed during the sampling season, there is no mortality nor natality, </em>
  • <em>marks in the individual last the whole sampling season, and they do not affect the marked individual or their behavior. </em>
  • <em>marked individuals are randomly distributed in the population, and </em>
  • <em>all the individuals have the same probability of being sampled.</em>

The method consists of capturing a sample of individuals belonging to the population under study. After capturing the individuals, the researcher marks and releases them again. The third step is to sample again: The researcher captures new individuals and counts how many of them are marked. These marked individuals belong to the first sample.

Indirect methods like this become a strong tool to estimate population size or density in species on which it is impossible to apply a direct method such as <em>counting individuals</em>.

For instance, if we need to estimate insects population density (<u><em>Gypsy moth population</em></u>) or reptiles population density (<u><em>Green lizard population</em></u>) because of their biological and ecological characteristics, the best way of doing it is by applying indirect methods. <em>These species characterize as small-sized, fast to escape, they can hide in small inaccessible places, they have nocturnal habits, their reproductive rate is too high, and their distribution rate is wide. </em>Among many other characteristics, their population density can not be estimated by direct methods. Mark-Recapture technique is the most suitable one.

tino4ka555 [31]

The antigen-binding sites of an antibody molecule are formed from the molecule's variable regions which are described as so because their amino acid sequences can be different on different antibodies.

The specificity of antibodies is determined by the variable regions found at their endpoints. Antibodies are specialized proteins secreted by B-cells of the immune system. They are also called immunoglobulins. They contain four polypeptide chains that comprise two heavy chains and two light chains to form a Y-shaped molecule.

The variable regions, more specifically the hypervariable regions of an antibody, have a high ratio of different amino acids with the most common amino acids provided in one place. The variable region serves as the antigen-binding site while the constant region found below the variable region is determined to invade the antigen.

Antibodies are preserved in our body to identify the antigen the next time it encounters. They send the signals to the other body parts to reject the antigen and invade it.

To know more about variable regions of antibodies, refer to the following link:
