Farmer Fran sprays her sugarcane field with a highly effective pesticide called 'Bayou Bug Blast'. For five years the pesticide

works without a hitch, effectively killing almost all of the bayou weevils trying to eat Farmer Fran's crop. However, during the 6th year, some of the crop takes a hit. During the 7th year, she loses half of her crop, and during the 8th year, she loses almost the entire cane field to bayou weevils, despite using twice the usual dose of Bayou Bug Blast. What happened?
A)
The sugar cane became used to the pesticide, rendering it ineffective.

B)
Bayou weevils over-populated, because Bayou Bug Blast killed all of the predatory insects.
C)
A small population of weevils survived on other food sources and returned to the sugar cane field to feed.

D)
The weaker weevils were killed, and Farmer Fran accidentally caused only pesticide-resistant beetles to survive.

<span>The situation is one similar to the development of antibiotic resistance. The initial five years of spraying wiped out most of the pests; however, the killing also helped the pesticide-resistant pests to survive and thrive since they had less competition. Over the period of five years, the pesticide resistance became more and more common among the beetles and in the eighth year, almost all of the beetles were resistant to the pesticide. Thus, the answer is D.</span>

In response to high amounts of phosphate transport into the cell: a. PhoR is phosphorylated by the phosphate transporter protein
storchak [24]

Answer:

e. PhoU keeps PhoR bound to the phosphate transporter protein Pst

Explanation:

PhoU is a membrane protein known to regulate the transport of phosphate (Pi) between cellular compartments. It has been discovered that mutations in this protein cause lethality because the cell becomes incapable of controlling the intracellular levels of  Pi, this being toxic for the cell. PhoR is a histidine kinase/phosphatase. When the Pi level is considered to be a limiting factor, PhoR autophosphorylates at a histidine residue and then donates its phosphoryl group to PhoB. On the other hand, when the Pi level is high, this protein removes the phosphoryl group from phospho-PhoB. Finally, the Pst is a signal transduction protein that acts as a transporter capable of switching its conformation during the transport of PI.

Identify ways in which all biological systems from cells and organisms to populations, communities and ecosystems are affected b
Olin [163]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cell which is the basic unit of life is affected by the interactions with biotic and abiotic factors such as temperature, sunlight. Organisms are made up of cells and they respond differently to temperature changes, sunlight, water availability. Some cell perform better at some certain range of temperature while some cannot.

Organism itself are affected by the interaction of some of this factors this include water and nutrients availability. Distribution of organism in a particular habitat is greatly influenced by availability of water and nutrients it lead to competition for survival among organism. Population density and species diversity also influence community and ecosystem. Population determines how resources is allocated in a community and it affect the activities of the organism in that domain or territory.
