In a study published in the journal Nature, scientists studied eight ponds in Florida: four that were populated by a species of

fish and four that were not. As they studied the ponds, they noted that the areas around the four fish-populated ponds showed decreased populations of dragonflies and dragonfly larvae, whereas the four without fish showed abnormally large populations of dragonflies and larvae. Dragonflies feed on bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Predict what would happen to the rate of pollination of flowers in a field next to a pond with no fish. Use evidence to support this prediction. Identify the keystone species in this scenario and explain how you have inferred this.

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of pollination in the field (near the pond with no fish) will decrease exponentially. Because, as the fish population is removed from that ecosystem, the population of dragonflies and larva increases without check because, fish feeds on the dragonflies larva and kept there population in check. Due to this, the population of bees and other pollinators population decline becuase, they are major food source of dragonflies.

Honeybees are the keystone species because it's absence will lead to major changes in the ecosystem.

What are the molecules that make up most the membrane
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: Lipid molecules.

Explanation: Biological membranes are bilayer of phospholipids that control the entrance and exit of molecules in the cells. The major components of phospholipids are the fatty acids. Phospholipids have two components: the fatty acyl chains and the phosphate group. The fatty acyl chains of the phospholipids molecules face each other at the core of the bilayer, forming a fluid hydrophobic interior while the phosphate (polar head) groups face outward. Proteins are embedded in this bilayer held by hydrophobic interactions between the membrane lipids and hydrophobic domains in the proteins. Both proteins and lipids move laterally in the plane of the bilayer but movement from one face of the bilayer to another is restricted.

Use the images below to answer the question. 2. What makes all of the samples different from each other?​
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Shape and structure.

Explanation:

The difference in shape and structure of these pictures is responsible for the difference from each other. The organisms present in these pictures are different in their size, shape and composition of their body. Some are small and some are large, some are living while the others are non-living, some are very hard whereas the others are soft and fleshy. So the organisms present in these samples are different from each other in a variety of ways i.e. size, shape and body structure.
