In the late 1960s, Robert Paine conducted landmark studies on diversity in the rocky intertidal zone, comparing the species dive

rsity in control plots with diversity in experimental plots from which he removed the top predator, sea stars. After 5 years, 15 species of intertidal invertebrates lived in the control plots, while the experimental plots were dominated by only two species, one mussel and one barnacle. The process most likely responsible for the loss of species diversity in the experimental plots was:a. predation.
b. mutualism.
c. resource partitioning.
d. parasitism.
e. competitive exclusion.

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

During conducting the experiment, it was performed in control conditions. In this case the top predators were removed.

There were limited number of organism left at the place which compete with each other for the same resources.

Mussel and Barnacle were the two species left there which feed on the same resources for their needs. This is the reason there was loss of diversity.

With reference to the induced fit model, describe how the tertiary structure of a named enzyme facilitates its function as a bio
Olenka [21]

The induced-fit model includes the change in the conformational site of the substrate and enzyme. It is done till the enzyme completely binds the substrate. This will then activates the enzyme to perform its work.

<h3>What is induced fit theory?</h3>

Induced fit theory or model suggest that the activation site of enzymes and the binding site of substrates undergo some conformational changes to fit into each other.

This binding results in activation of the enzyme and as the enzyme has a three-dimensional tertiary structure, this would help it to get fitted into the substrate.

Thus, with reference to the induced fit model tertiary structure of enzyme facilitates its function as a biological catalyst.

arlik [135]

This behavior represents the dormancy.

Dormancy is a period in life cycle of an organism when growth, development, and  physical activity are temporarily stopped. Period of dormancy minimizes metabolic activity of an organism and therefore helps them to conserve energy. So, aquatic burrowing frogs get into energy-saving mode as long as resources are scarce.
