An enzyme called glucocerebrosidase breaks down a glycolipid in the body known as glucocerebroside. However, in a genetic diseas

e known as Gaucher’s disease, the body does not produce enough glucocerebrosidase. Therefore glucocerebroside can build up in the body and this can cause serious side effects such as anemia and swelling of the liver and spleen. Identify the substrate.

Answer:

glucocerebroside

The diagram below shows the stump of a tree whose root grew into a small crack in bedrock and split the rock apart.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Physical Weathering

Explanation:

As per the given conditions in the question, the primary effect is <u>mechanical action</u> which is also known as a <u>physical weathering</u>. During mechanical action, a rock is disintegrated into the smaller pieces. In the given statement, <u>the root of tree would grow in the crack and try to develop a strong network to get nutrients necessary for tha tree growth</u>. Thus, the <u>root would exert a pressure</u> in the crack to make more space for its growth and development (root network). This is primarily a mechanical action and an example of physical weathering.

why does an advantageous trait increase in a population over time? key terms: variation, population, gene pool, fitness, relativ
MrMuchimi

Evolution is the gradual process resulting in the changes in the genetic material of a population over generations. The mechanism that Darwin proposed for evolution is the process of natural selection. Natural selection is the key mechanism of evolution which increases the frequency of advantageous alleles in a population.  Due to the limited resources in nature, organism with heritable traits favoring their survival and reproduction produce more offspring. It causes the population to become adapted to their environment and results in organisms with better survival ability and reproduction. These traits become heritable due to the reproductive advantage and are passed from the parents to the offspring. Over generations, the advantageous heritable trait becomes dominant in the population. It is responsible for the variation in the gene pool of the population which increases their fitness.

Why are biologists still debating the classification of protozoans? A. Biologists never agree on anything. B. There are estimate
miskamm [114]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Answer B is correct:

Because the biologists are continuing to learn more and more about such minute organisms, protozoan systematics – that is,  the taxonomy (classification) and the evolutionary interrelationships of major groups of protozoa – remains a  topic of debate and change, still today.

Some of the rather  LARGE and unwieldy taxonomic groupings of past years are  particularly subject to revision with expansion of and  refinement in the knowledge about the members of those –  and related – assemblages. Paradoxically, the protozoa  themselves are becoming more difficult to define with  precision as our information about them and other microbial assemblages increases. Thus, presenting a single  satisfactory circumscribed definition for them is not an  easy task.

...

Answer A sounds so funny.

Answer C and D are false because Protozoans are usually single-celled and heterotrophic.

...

Hope this answer can help you. Have a nice day!
