Answer:

Well, on one hand, this is a good thing as negative effects of the high demand for wood such as deforestation can be minimised. This will also sustain the supply of wood for several applications. However, there could be negative consequences of propagating such genetically-modified trees, which were not stated or are not yet known. For instance, the trees could be extreme soil nutrient consumers—depleting soil nutrients at a faster rate than they can be replenished and rendering such soil infertile in a short period.

16. Explain why pollution caused the shift in the phenotypes of the peppered moth during the Industrial Revolution. (2pts)
andrey2020 [161]

Answer/Explanation:

Pollution during the industrial revolution caused trees to become covered with soot, making them darker. This dark appearance meant that the peppered moth, which usually had a light colour, was clearly visible against the tree. This meant it was easier for predators to identify. As a result, their numbers decreased because they were an easier target.

However, there was also a rarer form of the moth, which was dark in colour. These were initially very rare. However, because of the change in the tree colour owing to the industrial revolution, these moths were better suited to the environment, as they were more camouflaged against the dark tree. This meant it was easier for them to avoid predators, and so they were more likely to survive to reproductive age and pass on the genes that produce the dark colour.  This meant that the dark moths increased in number.

Identify the effect of environmental factors on enzyme activity
laiz [17]

Answer:

Changes in temperature, pH, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, and the presence of any inhibitors or activators can affect enzyme activity.

For example increasing substrate concentration increases the rate of reaction.

Explanation:

This is because more substrate molecules will be colliding with enzyme molecules, so more product will be formed.

1. Describe how pigments in the chloroplast play a role in coloring the plant and in producing energy.
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Hello There!!

Explanation:

The purpose of the chloroplast is to make sugars that feed the cell's machinery. Photosynthesis is the process of a plant taking energy from the Sun and creating glucose. When the energy from the Sun hits a chloroplast and the chlorophyll molecules, light energy is converted into the chemical energy.

hope this helps,have a great day!!
