Explanation:

Sea otters are an iconic species, representing the beauty and diversity of marine life found along California’s coastline. They’re also considered a keystone species because of their critical importance to the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem. They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp.

This is because eliminating them would cause a trophies cascade. The sea otter’s prey would increase, and the prey of that prey would decrease. Thus, otters are a “keystone” species.

slavikrds [6]

Answer: The bacteria uses the oxygen present in the mouth.

Explanation:

The plaque that is formed in the teeth is a highly anaerobic bacteria but it can sustain in the environment rich in oxygen. The oxygen is used by the bacteria and there is a absence of oxygen in the teeth.

It is formed in between the teeth which needs oxygen to survive and if remains for tooth for a longer period of time then it began to grow without oxygen.

It basically uses the oxygen available in the mouth and makes the condition anaerobic.

Ber [7]

Answer:

The activity of hexokinase is suppressed by glucose 6-phosphate, which binds to hexokinase at a location that is distinct from the active site this is an example of Feedback inhibition.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is a cellular control mechanism in which an enzyme's activity is inhibited by the enzyme's end product.Feedback inhibition is a form of allosteric regulation.Feedback inhibition occurs when the end product of a reaction interferes with the enzyme that helped produce it.With too much product produced, the final product binds to an allosteric site on the first enzyme in the series of reactions to inhibit its activity.. Isoleucine, CTP, and citrate are examples of products that are used in feedback inhibition.
