Answer: (c) A local wolf population experiences a lethal epidemic of parvovirus.
Explanation:
A limiting factor is one which is capable of limiting the population of the species. It can be a living factor or a non-living factor.
The density dependent limiting factor is a factor which affects the population of a species depending upon the size of the population. There are many density dependent limiting factors such as disease, migration, predation and food.
C is the correct option, this is because of the fact that the epidemic outbreak can spread over to the large number of members of the population. If larger the population size more likely will be the chances of spreading.
Answer and explanation;
-All lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Some of them also contain nitrogen and phosphorus. The four main classes of lipids are fats, waxes, sterols, and phospholipids. Fats are triglycerides.
-The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.
-Lipids are water-insoluble (hydrophobic), and this property is put to great use in the organisation of cells and tissues.
For example; phospholipids are a class of lipids that is amphipathic; that is it contains fatty acid tails that are hydrophobic, and a phosphate head that is hydrophilic. This means the phosphate group will orientate itself towards water and away from the rest of the molecule, and also gives rise to the special properties that allow phospholipids to be used to form membranes.
Answer:
D
an increase in the length of the fatty acid tails.
Explanation:
As average annual temperatures decrease, we would expect to find phospholipids within the cell membranes of organisms to have both saturated
and unsaturated fatty acid tails. Saturated fatty acids tails are arranged linearly, in a way that maximizes interactions between the tails and
decreases bilayer fluidity. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, have more distance between the tails, fewer intermolecular interactions and
more membrane fluidity. Longer tails and decreased cholesterol also decrease fluidity
B: 2.3 grams to 9.8 grams
Applying ice to a fire victim leads to tissue hypoxia and necrosis because it will change the skin's temperature too fast and may cause frostbite. The burn could have had removed a layer of skin, leaving the fragile tissue exposed which will be more sensitive to the ice.
