A reaction in which the entropy of the system increases can be spontaneous only if it is exothermic.

Explain how the fluid mosaic model accounts for the observed properties of cellular membranes

Zinaida [17]

The mosaic nature is due to the numerous proteins that are entrenched in the phospholipids bilayer, fluctuate in shape, size and patterns in the same way as the stones or tiles of a mosaic.

the flexibility is due to individual phospholipids molecules which can move virtual to one another and gives the membrane a flexible structure that is constantly changing shape

Shtirlitz [24]

Full question:

Drag each label to the correct location on the chart. Based on the number of offsprings they produce at one time, organisms are classified into two categories many offsprings at once and a few at a time. Sort the characteristics based on the category they describe.

A.Low percentage of offspring reach adulthood,

B.limited parental involvement,

C.High percentage of offspring reach adulthood,

D.Rapid maturation,

E.Parental care observed,

few offspring at once vs many offspring at once.

Answer:

At the same time, there are a few offspring

C. A high proportion of offspring grow up to be adults.

E. Observed parental care,

At the same time, many offspring

A. Only a small fraction of offspring grow up to be adults.

B. minimal parental participation;

D. Rapid maturation.

Few offspring at a time have a high percentage of offspring reaching adulthood. If a large percentage of offspring reach adulthood, the offspring are likely to be few and well cared for.

<h3>What is parental care?</h3>

Parental care is seen to be unique to only a few offspring at a time. If the parents provide good care to their children, the offspring are likely to be few. It will be easier for the parent organism to care for a small number of children at once.

Many offspring at once have a low percentage of offspring reaching adulthood. Because there are so many kids at once, competition for room and food, as well as a lack of care, only a small percentage of them will reach adulthood.

Many offspring have limited parental participation at the same time. Because there were so many kids at the same time, the competition for parental care among the offspring would be strong. The parents' organism will be unable to care for the large number of children.

Rapid maturation is unique to several offspring at the same time. In order to survive, the organism will have to mature quickly. Due to the large number of children, survival will be determined by the fittest. The ability of the children to mature quickly will be aided by the survival of the fittest trait.

What does NADP+ want to carry outside of the thylakoids?

Rudiy27

In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water. ... The lower energy form, NADP+, picks up a high energy electron and a proton and is converted to NADPH.

A group of long-billed prairie birds migrates from a pristine, protected prairie to a nearby, newly restored prairie. They colon

spayn [35]

Answer:

While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized

Explanation:

Options are given:

The two populations of the long-billed prairie-birds had different fundamental niches, but the same realized niche

The original population of long-billed prairie-birds had higher levels of competition for food resources and in order to find enough food had a more varied diet. Those in the newly colonized area faced less competition and adapted to a smaller range of food types.

While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized

The long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche shifted as a result of competition with other species such that individuals in the newly colonized prairie foraged on a smaller variety of food types

Since in the question it is mentioned that scientists compare the populations with respect to the two bird and determined for the long billed prairie birds and the available of food is same in the two areas

This above situation represents the competitive exclusion concept. The species should be entered into the competitor in the case when there is a large number and the feeding should be started for survival
