Answer:

d. ATP is present and the intracellular Ca2+Ca2+ concentration is high.

Explanation:

Myosins are motor proteins that plays a major role in muscle contraction. They depend on ATP and responsible for motility in actin-based substances. Skeletal muscle is composed of myosin and actin fibers. Each myosin thick filament is surrounded by actin thin filaments, and each thin filament is surrounded by thick filaments. There exists a strong attraction between the myosin head and the myosin-binding site of actin which binds them spontaneously. This bond is aided by the presence of ATP and the high concentration of intracellular Ca2+. The myosin protein undergoes a change in its shape.

The prey species has to add the number of prey individuals equal to the number of prey individuals that have been removed by the predator. If they cannot maintain this balance, then both the species will become extinct.

You can determine that the deer population was reduced by 1, due to the losses being more than the gains. It can also be expressed as a math problem
6 - 5 - 3 + 1= -1
