How does altruism increase biotic potential?

Biology
1 answer:
harina [27]2 years ago
3 0

Altruism increases biotic potential because individual survival is sacrificed for the sake of others in the group.

<h3>Biotic potential</h3>

The biotic potential of a population is the maximum population size that can be reached at optimum environmental factors.

Altruism means selflessness. A way of prioritizing the needs of others over one's own.

If the members of a population are altruistic, there will be minimal competition and the biotic potential of such a population will increase.

During the cross-bridge cycle in muscle cells, myosin motors hydrolyze ATP as fuel to create a pulling force on actin fibers. Pl
exis [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In rest, attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments are inhibited by the tropomyosin. When the muscle fiber membrane depolarizes, the action potential caused by this depolarization enters the t-tubules depolarizing the inner portion of the muscle fiber. This activates calcium channels in the T tubules membrane and releases calcium into the sarcolemma. At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites. Myosin heads bind to the uncovered actin-binding sites forming cross-bridges, and while doing it ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin.  Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.

In an ecosystem can there be more carnivores than herbivore? Explain why or why not
Kobotan [32]
There cannot be more carnivores than herbivores because the carnivores eat the herbivores. If there wasn't enough herbivores to eat, then the carnivores would eventually become extinct.
