1. The Burmese python is an invasive species in the Everglades ecosystem. This means its numbers increase dramatically due to lack of natural predators. The python is feeding on small mammals such as rodents that feed of egg of animals such as the turtles. This, therefore, causes a ripple effect on the food web in the ecosystem e.g dramatically increasing turtle population.
2. Due to the lack of natural predators in the ecosystem, the Burmese python causes an imbalance in the Everglade ecosystem. They reduce the biodiversity of the ecosystem hence diminishing the quality of natural resources.
3. The number of Burmese pythons can be regulated by introducing a predator in the Everglade ecosystem. Examples of animals that can prey on the snake are eagles, pumas, lions, crocodiles, cobras, and humans. This will reduce the numbers of the Burmese python and restore the balance in the ecosystem.
A DNA or good molecule needs protein synthesis because without it it would not be able to function properly!

A. Natural Selection. This is because the weeds that are not resistant to it die out before they can reproduce, but the resistant ones grow to maturity and then reproduce, passing down the resistance gene. Over time, the resistance gene would become a normal thing in weeds, while the non-resistant gene would not exist anyone, since the gene could not be passed on.
Adam Smith described self-interest and competition in a market economy as the "invisible hand" that guides the economy. This episode of the Economic Lowdown Podcast Series explains these concepts and their importance to our understanding of the economic system.
