Tell it challenge: What is the difference between a Parrotlet and a Parakeet?

Biology
1 answer:
-Dominant- [34]4 years ago
5 0
Pretty huge difference actually-- starting with parrotlets are from South America, parakeets are from Australia. Parakeets actually account for a huge array of species, not just the common budgies they refer to. Parrotlets are also much more aggressive than budgies, parrotlets have bigger beaks that budgies, but both birds are social. For a beginner pet, I'd probably suggest the budgie over the parrotlet simply because their pecks hurt less! (Speaking from experience!)

Comment on why do you think cells prefer to use carbohydrates as a source of energy before they use fats and proteins.
kompoz [17]

Answer:

This can be explained  based on structure, and on metabolisms of  carbohydrate.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate has a relatively simple structural composition than the  either protein or fatty acids. The C, H and Oxygen molecules are of  relatively fewer in number and few  chains than fats and protein.Thus  cells will spend less energy to break bonds(catabolisims) among these molecules during cellular respiration  pathways  to trap the energy.

In addition glucose the end products of carbohydrate did not need any processing before it enters glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation pathways to generate energy for the cells.

Conversely, for protein to be used it has to be first deaminated(removal of amino acid) by the liver  before it enters glycolysis,while fats needs to  be broken down and undergo beta oxidation   with the long chains removed  before it can  form acetyl CoA. Therefore cells will prefer few steps, less endergonic  pathways of glucose than longer more endergonic amino acids  and fatty acid pathways.

Furthermore, glucose can be used in cellular respiration to  produce energy either aerobically or anaerobically, while fats can only be used anaerobically. Therefore, since cells usually prefer to thrive in aerobic conditions they  breakdown glucose easily during this period, and when lack of oxygen occurs they switched to anaerobic, Thus, the versatility of glucose to oxygen concentration makes glucose a better choice. Besides if fats was used anaerobically, ketone bodies build up which may be toxic to the cells.

What variables can affect the number of eggs laid by a chicken?
Dahasolnce [82]

The number of eggs laid by a chicken depends on a number of factors mainly includes the food it is being fed upon and it is properly fertilized or not.

Other factors also impact the egg laying capacity in chicken such as time of the year that means the number of daylight hours effect the egg laying capacity. The breeds of chicken also determine the number of eggs it lays.  The age of hen is also a key important variable in terms of egg laying as maximum eggs are laid in the initial couple of years and then it decreases with age.

How might artificial selection be used to offer possible solutions
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

D. It provides a way to increase the

frequency of beneficial traits in a

population.

Explanation:

Artificial selection is a selection made by the human intervention. Artificial selection is better than natural selection because in natural selection organisms mate naturally with each other while in artificial selection, human selects good traits organisms to mate with each other and produce offspring which has better characteristics than parents.
