s. There are over 50 species of honeycreepers that can all be traced back to one ancestor. The level of diversity in an ecosystem can be determined by the frequency of speciation and extinction.
a) Describe speciation and identify two possible prezygotic barriers of the Hawaiian honeycreepers that contribute to speciation.
b) If the Hawaiian honeycreepers became extinct, explain how the newly available niches could lead to speciation.

Answer:

In speciation, organisms evolved with the passage of time.

Explanation:

Speciation is the evolutionary process in which populations of species evolve with the passage of time to become different species from the original one.  Temporal isolation and gametic isolation are two possible prezygotic barriers of the Hawaiian honeycreepers that contribute to occur speciation. The newly available niches could lead to speciation of that organisms that tolerate the Hawaiian climatic conditions when the extinction of Hawaiian honeycreepers occurs. The new organisms used the available resources such as food and space etc and increase its population.

Why is it necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule, creating glucose-6-phosphate? why is it necessary to phosphorylate a gl
expeople1 [14]
It is necessary to phosphorylate a glucose molecule so as to trap glucose inside the cell, to make ATP, and to facilitate enzyme building. When insulin is released from the pancreas after a meal, it signals the tissues to uptake glucose. When glucose enters the cells via glucose transporters, there is a chance for them to leave the cell. If the body is in need of energy, and the breakdown of glucose will provide that energy, the body does not want the glucose to leave the cell and that is why the glucose is phosphorylated by ATP to become glucose-6-phosphate, which now bears a charge.

What was an unintended negative environmental consequence of improved technology in agriculture?
Mumz [18]

The correct answer is B. Modern technology allowed for larger expanses of land to become cultivated, so farming took over many natural areas that were important for wildlife.

Explanation:

In the last decades, the creation of agricultural technology has increased the efficiency of growing crops. This means now, all the process is more efficient, which leads to more products to be sold and an increase in profit. However, the possibility of large scale agriculture has caused more land is used for this purpose. This often implies natural ecosystems such as forests are destroyed and the land of these ecosystems, which is usually rich in minerals, is used for extensive agriculture. This is a negative consequence of agricultural technology as natural areas important for wildlife are taken for human profit.
