Answer:

The five introduced species, which has presented a serious threat to their new communities are zebra mussel, brown tree snake, the cane toad, kudzu, and the lamprey.  

Due to the introduction of brown tree snakes, approximately 12 species of birds and 6 species of lizards have got extinct. The zebra mussels introduction has disrupted the freshwater ecosystems and has clogged the water intake structures.  

Due to the introduction of kudzu, the whole region of the southern United States has become dominated by the plant. The introduction of cane toads has killed an ample amount of species without being getting killed themselves as they are poisonous and lacks predators. The introduction of lampreys has resulted in the decline of diversity as they lack predators and kill other species briskly.

Cat (Australia); lots of cats became feral and they reproduce very fast. They became the apex predator and the native species have no defense system for them, so the cats brought tens of species on the verge of extinction (mainly placental mammals).
Fox (Australia); became an apex predator in the lack of competition, and damages the populations of native small placental mammals. 
Hair (Australia); reproduces much quicker than the native species of mammals, increased significantly in numbers, and out competes the native species for the food sources.
African bee (the Americas); much more aggressive and stronger than the native bees and systematically kills their populations.
Grey squirrel (Britain); reproduces quicker than the red squirrel, is bigger, and out competes for food, brought it on the verge of extinction.

What is digested in the small intestine including the nutrients, substance, enzyme and final product of the thing being digested
inn [45]

Answer:

The pancreas and gland cells of the small intestine secrete digestive enzymes that chemically break down complex food molecules into simpler ones. or Complete digestion takes place in the small intestine as it finally absorbs the nutrients. The end products of digestion are amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol, and glucose.

Explanation:

If you're talking about the end product go with the latter

What 3 functions do proteins have in a plasma membrane?*
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Proteins in the plasma membrane have several functions based on their components, location etc. For instance, if the protein transcends the entire plasma membrane it could be a transport protein, responsible for the import and export of certain molecules between the cell and the extracellular matrix (ECM). If the proteins are resting at the surface of the cell, facing the ECM, their role could be to detect components in the ECM, relaying a series of messages back to the nucleus so that the cell can ‘decide’ what it should do with this information (is it being told it should undergo apoptosis, should it begin to divide, should it migrate?). As well as this, it could be involved in the detection of foreign bodies such as pathogens. This is an extremely job for these proteins because if the cell does come in contact with a pathogen, the cell can use these proteins to engulf the pathogen and through a series of steps, present the antigen on their major histocompatibility complexes (either 1 or 2 depending on the cell type) or HLA’s for human cells. Thus it can be concluded that protein functions vary widely in the plasma membrane and due to the vast number of proteins that can be found there, it’s difficult to narrow down the exact main of functions of all these proteins put together.

Koch's postulates are used to establish the infectious agent that causes a particular infectious disease. In 1937, Thomas Rivers
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

B. The pathogen must be grown in pure culture.

Explanation:

Virus, and also some bacteria can not be cultured in "lifeless media". In the case of bacteria, we refer to the obligate intracellular ones, and all virus. Thus, this postulate can not be fulfilled in all cases. Virus can be propagated on tissue cultures, but certainly this was not considered by Koch. Moreover, these methods often result in spontaneous genetic alterations, which leads to adaptation and even attenuation in animal models of disease, so, the cultured virus perhaps does not induce the same disease when introduced to another specimen.
