Answer:

No, it isn't

Explanation:

An invasive species is characterized by an organism's appearance in an area it is not a native of, with a high capacity of reproduction that will cause it to be a threat to native species in that area. A species of organism is tagged "invasive" if it is foreign to a region/location and possess a high reproductive rate that spreads fast and causes harm to other species.

Based on the analogy given in this question about the escape of a rattlesnake from a zoo, it cannot be ascertained that it is an example of invasive species. This is because rattlesnakes may be native to that area and possess a zero threat level to the environment in terms of high spreading rate.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate limiting reaction of aerobic respiration involves the phosphorylation of fructose phosphate by the enzyme phosphofructokinase. The rate at which this enzyme makes product is [increased, decreased] when ATP levels rise because the molecule ATP binds to an allosteric site on the enzyme and acts as a direct inhibitor. When ATP levels fall AMP binds to the allosteric site of phosphofructokinase. This interaction leads to an increase of cellular ATP, so that this is an example of a negative feedback loop.
