5 0

Answer:

Grass

Explanation:

Biotic means living. There are some obvious abiotic factors here. The only gray area is what "soil" encompasses

grass-Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

This is because it is a living thing (performs photosynthesis and cellular respiration).

Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

Which of the following is a reasonable explanation for why unsaturated fatty acids help keep any membrane more fluid at lower te
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Option (E).

Explanation:

The cell membrane constitute the phospholipid bilayer, proteins and small amounts of carbohydrates. The unsaturated fatty acids contain the double and triple bond in its structure.

The introduction of double bond introduces the kink in its structure and makes the membrane less rigid. This prevents the packaging of the lipid tightly and makes the membrane more permeable. This makes the membrane more fluid even at the lower temperature.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).

Mashutka [201]

The carrying capacity of a biological organism in the surrounding refers to the maximum size of the population of the organism that the environment can maintain indeterminately, given the habitat, food, water, and other essential requirements in the environment.  

When a deep water island of marine debris is situated directly in the migratory path of a pod of humpback whales, then the carrying capacity for the region would be negotiated and the populations of whale will suffer.

kykrilka [37]

Explanation:

Why is it beneficial for an organism to have its tissues near its optimal temperature? List various functions or activities that may be affected if the body temperature deviates too far from the temperature optimum (which functions or activities are mediated by proteins)?

a.) Muscle-movements

b.) Digestion of food

c.) Growth and development

Just about every aspect of an organisms daily functions are governed by the actions of proteins, be they structural proteins that determine cell shape, motor-protein that move vesicles inside the cell or allow muscle cells to contract, or be they enzymes that catalyze the vast majority of chemical reactions a cell has to engage in.

It turns out that every living organism gives off some heat. The difference between endotherms and ectotherms is merely the rate at which this heat is produced by the organism.

In fact, even plants and bacteria produce some heat as they go through their daily lives. This is evident in early spring, when the earliest spring flowers manage to thaw themselves through a solid ice layer, or when you overturn a compost heap on a crisp fall day in which bacteria decomposers are very active you will see steam rising from the pile.

What source have we already discussed that can produce this heat given off by organisms to their environment?

a) negative delta G of energetically coupled reactions.

Endotherms take advantage in particular of cellular respiration to ramp up that heat given off from energetically coupled reactions due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

As a consequence, endotherms maintain highly elevated rates of cellular respiration compared to ectotherms

b.) lowering of activation energy by an organism's enzymes
