Epinephrine initiates a signal transduction pathway that involves the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and leads to the breakdown

of glycogen to glucose, a major source of energy for cells. But glycogen breakdown is only part of the fight-or-flight response that epinephrine brings about; the overall effect on the body includes increased heart rate and alertness, as well as a burst of energy. Given that caffeine blocks the activity of cAMP phosphodiesterase, propose a mechanism by which caffeine ingestion leads to heightened alertness and sleeplessness.

REY [17]

Answer:

D) The fungicide will reduce the stability of the ecosystem because nutrients in the soil will be less likely to be recycled, directly impacting plant nutrition and growth.

Explanation:

Fungicide are primarily applied to an area to kill off fungi species in that place.

Fungi are very important groups of organisms. They are natural "recyclers".

In a food chain or web they can be classified as decomposers.

Decomposers are organisms that takes feeds on dead and decaying organic matter.

The produce useful materials and releases nutrients from life back into nature.

Killing them off by applying fungicides is a damaging act to their sustenance.

Without decomposers such as fungi, the ecosystem becomes less stable  and soil nutrients will not be properly recycled.
