Elephants are considered K-strategists because they give birth to only one calf at a time and most have five years in between having another calf. Calves stay under the protection of the mother and her herd until maturity at 10-15 years of age. What type of survivorship curve do elephants tend to follow

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Type I curve

Explanation:

The K-strategist are species characterized by relatively stable populations that fluctuate at the carrying capacity of the habitat or niche in which organisms reside. Elephants are considered as K-strategists because they have a low population growth rate and relatively stable populations. There are three different types of survivorship curves. The Type I curve (also referred to as A curve) is characteristic of k-strategist organisms. Humans and elephants exhibit a Type I survivorship curve in which organisms tend to die when they become elderly. These species have a small number of offspring and provide parental care to ensure their survival. In a Type II survivorship curve, species produce many offspring and only some offspring survive (e.g., birds), while in Type III survivorship curve organisms produce many more offspring and most do not survive (i.e., r-strategists such as frogs or insects).

Answer:

both b and c I think..........

Population - An individual life form. and Community - A group of populations.

What is population?

A population is the entire set of people in a group, whether that group is a country or a collection of people who share a certain trait.

A population is the group of people from which a statistical sample is taken in statistics. Therefore, a population is any collection of people who have something in common.

A statistically significant portion of a population, rather than the full population, may also be referred to as a sample. For this reason, the standard deviation, or standard error, of a statistical study of a sample from the full population must be disclosed.

Therefore, Population - An individual life form. and Community - A group of populations.

Why do you think so many people seem to not care about the environmental issues we are facing?

Answers

Answer:

People are not aware of their causes and impacts.

Explanation:

First, people just seem to think that a little bit of harm won't impact the world at all, but that little bit for everyone adds up and the magnitude is a lot worse than people would imagine. Next, even if they/we do know the scale, they don't know how to help or are not interested enough to try and fix the problem. We all think that we won't be able to help enough to fix the issue.

the prime mover of inspiration is the blank during normal quiet breathing expiration is a passive process as this muscle relaxes into its original dome shape. provide conditions when expiration becomes an active process or forced. explain

Answers

Answer:

The prime agonist of inspiration is the diaphragm muscle.

The conditions when expiration becomes an active process is : Emphysema, Pneumonia, Bronchitis.

-Expiration is the passive process as there is elastic recoil of lungs following inspiration without contraction of any muscles.

-The elastic fibers in alveoli are damages or filled with mucus and fluid in the disease such as conditions such as emphysema or pneumonia.

-Elastic recoil of lungs.

-Hence, muscle contraction is required to forcefully exhale the air from lungs. Internal intercostal muscles contract to pull the ribs downward and remove air from the lungs.

The most common Class II variant is the F508del variant, which is missing the 508th amino acid in the protein but has an otherwise normal sequence. Loss of this amino acid leads to misfolding of the protein, and the misfolded protein is not properly transported to the membrane. Based on this information, how many nucleotides are deleted in the CFTR allele encoding this variant?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 3 (two codons of 507th that are U, C, and the first nucleotide of 508th codon U).

Explanation:

Each amino acid is coded by a three-nucleotide base long codon. So in the case of the F508del variant, there is a deletion of three nucleotides that is encoded for phenylalanine amino acid.

In this isoleucine is encoded by 507th codon that is AUG and 508th codon is UUU codes for Isoleucine.

In this case, two codons of 507th are U, C, and the first nucleotide of 508th codon U. So overall three nucleotides are deleted in the F508del variant..

Methylene blue can be used to stain DNA because it: (2 pts) forms ionic bonds with DNA changes the pH and therefore the structure of DNA makes DNA electron dense is an effective chemical fixative for cells is none of the above

Answers

Answer: Methylene blue can be used to stain DNA of a cell because it (forms ionic bonds with DNA).

Explanation:

To examine the components of a cell usually under a microscope, a stain or dye is being used to provide a clear and defined view of the area under study.

The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a cell which contains the hereditary information of the cell is located in the nucleus.

Methylene blue is a type of stain used by biologists which helps them view microscopic life in brilliant color. It is a cationic stain (positively charged blue dye); and binds to negatively charged parts of the cells, such as nucleus (DNA) and RNA in the cytoplasm (with lower affinity).

When DNA of a cell comes in contact with methylene blue on a slide, their opposite charges attract, causing methylene blue's "rings" to slide in between the "rungs" of the DNA "ladder." As a result, a rich blue stain that identifies the location of the cell nucleus can be observed. This produces a photosensitive reaction which can then be viewed under the microscope.

Therefore is can be used to stain the DNA of cell because it forms ionic bonds with DNA.

Explanation:Substrate-level phosphorylation is a type of metabolic reaction that results in the formation of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) of Guanosine Triphosphat (GTP) by the direct transfer and donation of a phosphoryl (PO3) group to Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) of Guanosine Diposphate (GDP) from a phosphorylated reactive intermediate.

When body temperature increases, thermoreceptors are stimulated and send nerve signals to the CNS. The CNS sends motor signals to sweat glands, which attempt to reduce body temperature. This is an example of a __________ reflex.a. organ.b. stretch.c. withdrawal.d. visceral.

Answers

Answer:

d. visceral.

Explanation:

The visceral reflex is one that happens autonomously in the body, aiming to maintain the balance of the body through quick responses to some specific impulses. An example of a visceral reflex is the reduction in body temperature with the release of sweat from the sweat glands.

The visceral reflexes are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, using the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

What is rcbL, and why is it a particularly useful molecule for studying evolutionary relationships in plants and green algae

Answers

Answer:

RBCL denotes for 'rubisco protein.' It is characterized as 'a plant enzyme which catalyzes both the fixing of carbon dioxide found in atmosphere during photosynthesis and the reverse process of photorespiration.' It plays a very significant role in studying, as well as, in evaluating relations associated with phylogenetics in plants primarily along with green algae as it assists them to produce energy molecules by using carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It has therefore been the key factor behind a number of organic carbon that is discovered in our surrounding biosphere.
