<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Caurepa taxifolia is an invasive species of algae and is listed in the IUCN list of 100 invasive species.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
In is an algae usually found in the pacific ocean. It was earlier used in aquariums as an <em>ornamental species of algae</em>. The dangerously invasive nature overshadows its attractive appearance.
It is inedible and increases in numbers at a surprisingly <em>accelerated rate.</em> The growth of other plants is difficult in areas dominated by the Caurepa taxifolia. The introduction of this <em>algae was in the Meditteranian sea.
</em>
The correct answer is - predator species in a community.
In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.
The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.
If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.
The answer is proofreading feature of DNA polymerase. As the DNA polymerase III replicates DNA, it
has a proofreading mechanism in one of the
subunits of the holoenzyme. This subunit detects a bad conformation in the double
helix when the wrong base pair is placed.
In this case, the DNA polymerase III backs up
a bit and waits for the exonuclease to nick out the misplaced base.
The right answer is A: Enzyme activity decreases at these temperatures
Temperature influences the activity of the enzymes responsible for assisting with chemical reactions in the Calvin cycle. When temperatures are low, enzyme activity is slow. As temperatures increase, the activity of the enzymes that assist in these chemical reactions also increases to a certain extent, which is the optimal response to temperature. It is at this point that the rate of photosynthesis of plants is the highest.
As the temperature continues to rise beyond this point, the enzyme activity decreases until photosynthesis stops. It is important to remember that the rate of photosynthesis in C3 plants is higher in cold conditions, whereas it is the opposite in C4 plants.
