Surface tension is the property of water which allows for some lightweight insects to walk on top of a pond and not fall in. The molecules of water are held together by cohesive forces. The molecules of water present below the surface experience this cohesive force from all the directions, whereas the water molecules present on the surface experience a downward pull, as the force is not balanced. This leads to the concaving of the water surface inside a small tube.
Carbon sinks (the ocean is actually the largest carbon sink)
Answer: sexual and asexual.
Explanation:
Answer:
The fate of glucose-6-phosphate,glycolytic intermediates and pentose phosphate pathways are described below
Explanation:
Fate of Glucose -6-phosphate
Glucose-6-phosphate undergo dephosphorylation to form glucose when there is an increase demand of glucose in the body.
Glucose-6-phosphate enters into pentose phosphate pathway to synthesize ribose-5-phosphate which is used during denovo pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis.
Fate of glycolytic intermediates
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is an important intermediate of glycolysis.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate act as a precursor during lipogenesis that deals with the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol.
Fate of pentose phosphate pathway intermediates
Ribose-5-phosphate and NADPH are the important intermediates of pentone phosphate pathway.
Ribose-5-phosphate act as a substrate molecule during the denovo biosynthesis pathway of purine nucleotides.
NADPH act as a reducing agent during fatty acid biosynthesis process.
The correct answer is - predator species in a community.
In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.
The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.
If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.
