The answer is C, loss of biodiversity due to an invasive species
Weather changes every day, while climate changes annually or every 3 months
I don't think changing seasons can REMOVE CO2 from the air, but I do think instead it could add it to the air. It's a long process that involves several ecosystems and stuff. But, as the climate is getting warmer, ice caps are melting and within these ice caps... there are trapped bubbles of CO2 that are released ( I am not sure if this adds a lot of CO2 to the atmosphere, but I am sure that it does contribute to CO2 concentration).
In relation to your last statement... plant growth would actually reduce CO2 in the air because of the process of photosynthesis. Plants take in CO2 and give out O2 for us to breathe. In turn we conduct cellular respiration in which we take in the O2 and give out the CO2. So, plants are actually one good solution for decreasing CO2 levels.
Answer:
The order must be K2→K1, since the permanently active K1 allele (K1a) is able to propagate the signal onward even when its upstream activator K2 is inactive (K2i). The reverse order would have resulted in a failure to signal (K1a→K2i), since the permanently active K1a kinase would be attempting to activate a dead K2i kinase.
Explanation:
- You characterize a double mutant cell that contains K2 with type I mutation and K1 with type II
mutation.
- You observe that the response is seen even when no extracellular signal is provided.
- In the normal pathway, i f K1 activat es K2, we expect t his combinat ion of two m utants to show no response with or without ext racell ular signal. This is because no matt er how active K1 i s, it would be unable to act ivate a mutant K2 that i s an activit y defi cient. If we reverse the order, K2 activating K1, the above observati on is valid. Therefore, in the normal signaling pathway, K2 activates K1.
