An opportunistic predator switches prey, capturing whichever prey species is most abundant. As soon as the prey numbers dwindle

and another species becomes more abundant, the predator will consume the more abundant species. In doing so, this predator maintains great biodiversity in the community. This type of predator is called a

Answer:

The correct answer is keystone predator.

Explanation:

In sustaining the composition of an ecological community, a keystone species plays an essential function. In the absence of keystone species, the ecosystem would fail to exist and would become drastically different. A predator is a classic illustration of a predator, which inhibits a specific herbivorous species from eradicating the dominant species of plants. In the non-existence of predators, the herbivorous prey would increase enormously and would clean the entire essential plant species, and thus, drastically change the significance of the ecosystem.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

c) Acetyl COA carboxylase; citrate

Explanation:

Citrate serves as an allosteric activator for fatty acid synthesis and diverts the cellular metabolism from the consumption of metabolic fuel to the storage of fuel as fatty acids. When the concentrations of mitochondrial acetyl-CoA and ATP increase, citrate is transported out of mitochondria into the cytosol. In the cytosol, citrate serves as the precursor of cytosolic acetyl-CoA and an allosteric activator of acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

The enzyme Acetyl-CoA carboxylase has three functional regions. Its biotin carboxylase activates CO2 and its transcarboxylase transfers activated CO2 from biotin to acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA.
