Answer:

Yeah, so basically the image is showing restriction enzymes. The job of restriction enzymes is mainly involved in research when scientists use them for cloning human genes. But that's besides the point...

Main thing you have to understand is that restriction enzymes cut at very specific places along DNA sequences. If you look at the restriction enzyme Rsa 1, you can notice that it cuts only between a thymine nucleotide base and an adenine nucleotide base. Next, if ya look at Sty 1 (be careful b/c W can represent adenine or thymine), it cuts only between two directly adjacent cytosine nucleotide bases!

SO.... if we go to Rsa 1, we can find the answers by dividing up the sequences between the pattern we saw in the gray box. It only cuts between adenine and thymine bases. Based on that, we can find the number of fragments created, and the segment lengths (basically just like how many nucleotide bases are in each strand). Hope ya found this helpful!

There are two properties that affect the conduction speed of an action potential along an axon: die axon's diameter and whether
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

 Axons with high  diameter, and myelinated will conduct action potential faster.

Axons with low diameter but myelinated will be  relatively  slow in the speed of action potential transmission

Axons with high diameter and unmyelinated will be relatively slow in action potential transmission.  

Axons with low diameter, and unmyelinated will conduct action potential slowly .

Explanation:

Diameter of Axon affects conduction speed of Action Potential; the thick axons with  high diameter conducts action potential at a faster speed than thin neurons. This is because of the less resistance to the transmission of action potential along the thick axon. However, thin neurons with   lower diameter has more resistance to the action potential conduct along the axon, thus the speed of transmission is slow.  

Myelinated neuron transmits action potential faster because of   jumping of action potential at the nodes of Ranvier where there is highest concentration of all channel proteins and pump proteins, Therefore action potential is conducted at a faster rate as it jumps from one node to another. This is salutatory conduction. It increases the conduct about 50 times compare to unmyelinated neuron. In neuron of human it increases the speed to 100ms-1

.Conversely, unmyelinated neurone  conducts action potential slowly. About 0.5ms-1 . This is because no salutatory conduction takes place because there is no myelin interruption as Nodes of Ranvier

When microbial action during decomposition in aquatic ecosystems removes too much oxygen, the body of water experiences .
pashok25 [27]

The body of water experiences eutrophication.  

The process of eutrophication takes place primarily in ecosystems with gradual changing waters, mainly in deep lakes. In the depths of the lake, where deposition of dead algae takes place, the aerobic bacteria, which feeds on them proliferate that in turn consumes more amount of oxygen.  

Though in the absence of enough circulation of water that is usually found in the case of deep lakes, the bottom of the lake is poorly oxygenated and the bacteria eventually deplete the oxygen found in the deep layers of water. Thus, they can no longer degrade all the dead organic matter and gets accumulated in the sediments. The lake is now considered to be aging.

Why are protozoa significant? Select all that apply. Protozoa contaminate the water supply. Protozoa do not contribute to a food
Luba_88 [7]

Answer: Protozoa contaminate the water supply.

Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria.

Protozoa have an important role in the food chain.

Protozoa are parasitic or free living single celled eukaryotic organisms. They are mostly found in water bodies.

Protozoa contaminate the water supply: Some of the protozoan species which are released from the human feces usually contaminate thee water, and causes waterborne infections in humans. Examples are Cryptosporium and Giardia. The infection occurs through drinking water or swallowing water from swimming pool.

Some protozoa are parasites and cause diseases like malaria: The Plasmodium is the genus belonging to the protozoan parasites. This malarial parasite is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes to humans. The parasite multiply in the red blood cells causes symptoms like fever, anemia, flue, illness and may also cause coma and death.

Protozoa have an important role in the food chain: The protozoa species plays many roles in the food chain, they act as consumers, predators or prey, herbivores and decomposers. Their main function is to control the population of other species in the same habitat. They engulf small single celled bacteria, hence prevents excessive bacterial colonization act as predator. They also feed upon the algal species therefore, act as herbivores. They act as decomposers, as they feed upon the organic matter present in the bottom of the aquatic water body. They are the source of food for large worm and insect species.
