Question 3
D
Explanation:
1. An ecosystem is MOST likely to return to its original condition after Tall prairie grass burns after being struck by lightning.
Here is a research paper in which they explained how this happened. (Komarek, E. V. (1971). Lightning and fire ecology in Africa. In Tall Timbers Fire Ecology Conference (Vol. 11, pp. 473-509).)
2. In some national parks, controlled fires are maintained by firefighters. The major reasons for using controlled burns to maintain certain ecosystems is to give nonnative plants a chance to colonize the region.
A recent article provided the insight of this situation (Xanthopoulos, G., Delogu, G. M., Leone, V., Correia, F. J., & Magalhães, C. G. (2020). Firefighting approaches and extreme wildfires. In Extreme Wildfire Events and Disasters (pp. 117-132). Elsevier.)
3. One reason for the change in the Galápagos ecosystem has been the introduction of species that were not on the island before, such as donkeys, goats, cats, dogs, and insects. The introduction of nonnative species MOST likely disrupt the balance of life on the islands due to greater competition for limited food sources.
Scientist said that food competition is actually a struggle to survive in any ecosystem here is the reference paper (Eckhardt, R. C. (1972). Introduced plants and animals in the Galapagos Islands. Bioscience, 22(10), 585-590.)
Answer:
chitin and murein
Explanation:
The chemical compounds that distinguish bacteria cell from yeast cell are
chitin and murein
Chitin is a polysaccharide present in the exoskeleton of fungi made up of chains of modified glucose known as N-acetylglucosamine. N-acetylglucosamine is derived from glucose
While murein is a mesh like structure made up of sugar and amino acids. Murein forms a layer outside the plasma membrane of bacterial cell.
Answer:
Explanation:
LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.
Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.
Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.
Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.
Permitting the exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and tissue cells is the primary function of capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels , they are only one cell thick, and they act as sites of the transfer of oxygen and other nutrients from the bloodstream to the body tissues. Additionally, they also collect carbon dioxide, waste materials and fluids for return to the veins.
