Answer:
Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.
hope this helps:)
I believe in the presence of oxygen, an increase in the amount of ATP in a cell would be expected to inhibit the enzyme and therefore, slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Phosphofructokinase is and enzyme that phosphorylates fructose 6 phosphate in glycolysis. It is an important control enzyme in the regulation of cellular respiration. It is inhibited by ATP and is an allosteric enzyme.
The temperature insensitive, thermostable, DNA polymerase was extracted from a bacterium found in hot springs can withstand the high temperatures needed to separate the double stranded DNA and the replication process can continue uninterrupted. The enzyme thermus aquaticus can withstand the high temperature used to separate double stranded DNA, so replication does not need to be interrupted by the need to add more enzymes.
Answer:
Both C and E are reasonable answers.
Explanation:
Homeostasis describes the body's ability to maintain a stable equilibirum. In other words, if the body experiences a stress, it will generate a response that works to counteract that stress and restore itself to how it was prior to the stress.
A. This describes a cause and effect (BP down --> venous return down). It does not describe an active physiological response to counteract the BP drop such as an increase in heart rate. Not homeostasis.
B. Again, a cause and effect is described. Blood vessel walls becoming thinner is not a response to counteract increased BP. Not homeostasis.
C. Here a response to a stress is described. Men are drinking more water. The body responds by getting rid of that water, restoring the body to its former state. This describes homeostasis.
D. This sounds like homeostasis, but it's actually the opposite of what happens. Dilation of peripheral blood vessels is a way for the body to get rid of heat. This is the opposite of what you would want if the body got colder - it would make the stress worse, which is the opposite of homeostasis. In actuality the response to cold temperature is constriction of blood vessels to preserve heat.
E. This deescribes homeostasis. The stress is increased glucose. The body's response to manage it is to release insulin, which helps remove the glucose from circulation.
