What happens to predator populations when prey populations are scarce? Why?

Biology
1 answer:
GenaCL600 [577]2 years ago
5 0
When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.

Use the numbers to put the steps of translation in order, from first (1) to last (5). The large ribosomal subunit completes the
pashok25 [27]
Translation is a complex process that translated the genetic information from the language of DNA in the language of RNA. The first step in this process is the binding of the initiator tRNA (that is bound to the aminoacid methionine) to the small ribosomal unit. Then, the small ribosomal unit joins the mRNA; it is the part of the ribosome mainly responsible for translating. After that, the initiator tRNA binds to the start codon. This reaction frees some initiation factors that make large ribosomal units bind to the small one. Hence, <span>the large ribosomal subunit completes the initiation complex afterwards. The role of the large ribosomal unit is mainly to make the peptidic bonds between the aminoacids in the new protein. After that, </span><span>amino acids are paired with anticodons, gradually forming a long chain</span>; this chain is called a polypeptide and is the skeleton of the protein that is created. Finally, this process stops when one of the three possible stop codons are reached.

Which labeled placemark in the layers folder represents the stratosphere?
Leya [2.2K]
The atmosphere is divided into different regions, called layers. The layer closest to the surface is known as troposphere, after which comes the stratosphere. The stratosphere begins at an altitude of 10 miles above the surface of the earth and stretches up to 31 miles above the surface of the earth. It is the second layer of the atmosphere (beginning from the surface of the earth) and it is the region which contains ozone, which plays a vital role in stopping ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth's surface.

List two ways that a fuel cell differs from an ordinary battery
Alecsey [184]

The simple answer is that in a battery the chemical reactions that produce the electrical current are produced from materials that are already in the battery itself, whereas in a fuel cell, the reactants, almost always Hydrogen and Oxygen are fed to the cell like an external fuel.

. However, while a battery makes electricity from the energy it has stored inside the battery, a fuel cell makes its electricity from fuel in an external fuel tank This means that while a battery may run dead, a fuel cell will make electricity as long as fuel is supplied. For hydrogen fuel cells, hydrogen is the fuel and it's stored in a tank connected to the fuel cell. When hydrogen in the tank runs low, you refill it, or replace it with a full tank.

In the Cori cycle, when glucose is degraded by glycolysis to lactate in muscle, the lactate is excreted into the blood and retur
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The statement is true.

Explanation:

Muscle obtains ATP from glycolysis. When exercise conditions are anaerobic, glucose is degraded to lactate. Lactate is exported into the circulation and is taken up by the liver. The liver synthesizes glucose again from lactate via the gluconeogenic pathway. These two metabolic pathways that allow the coupling of the function of two tissues is what is known as the Cori cycle. The energy cost is 4 P bonds / each glucose that travels both glycolytic-gluconeogenic pathways.
