Answer:

problems actually start when some of the prion proteins get misfolded into a form that aggregates (the infectious form), which also induces misfolding in the native protein, increasing the amount of aggregates, and inducing more and more of the native form to misfold.

Pioneer organisms are the first organisms to reoccupy an area. True or False

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pioneer organisms are the first organisms that reoccupy a region that was destroyed by a disaster like flood, forest fire, volcanic eruptions, etc. These pioneer species can grow in the habitat that is barren and is not suitable for the growth and survival of other species.

Some of the pioneer species are lichens and algae. Pioneer species like lichens help in the formation of soil from breakdown or rocks which allow the formation of a suitable environment for the ecological succession of other species like mosses, algae, and other small plants. Therefore the statement is true.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV

By using Goldman's equation:

$E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF}In \Big (\dfrac{P_K[K^+]_{out}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{out}+P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{out} }{P_K[K^+]_{in}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{in}+ P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{in}} \Big )$
