Researchers propose a model to explain variation in phytoplankton cell sizes in a marine environment. They base their model on t

he idea that smaller cells absorb nutrients more efficiently. The researchers predict that the mean diameter of phytoplankton cells will change by 50 micrometers for every 5-kilometer increase in distance from the shore because of a gradual decrease in nutrient availability. To test their model, the researchers determine that the phytoplankton cells found closest to shore have a mean diameter of 900 micrometers. Based on the model, what will be the mean diameter of the phytoplankton cells that are found 25 kilometers from shore?

Both the full body plate type and the half body plate trait are also present in an ocean near the lake. Where would you expect a
meriva

Answer:

In the ocean

Explanation:

Ecological divergence leads to selection of essential traits against migrants and hybrid species. The full body plate type traits requires attention for occurrence  in an environment which is free from issues such as resource limitation or predator attacks. In vast ocean spaces , resources are not a limiting factor in ocean and also there is no risk of predators as there is huge chunk of space, thus, full body plate type will occur in higher number in the ocean.

hope it helps you..

Studentka2010 [4]
The answers are as follows:
1. <span>An inhibitor has a structure that is so similar to the substrate that it can bond to the enzyme just like the substrate: t</span>his is called competitive inhibitor. A competitive inhibitor will compete with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme and bind to the active site, thus incapacitating the substrate from binding to the active site.
2.  An inhibitor binds to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site: this is called non competitive inhibitors. Non competitive inhibitors bind to other site in the enzyme which is not the active site of the enzyme. The binding of the inhibitor changes the conformation of the enzyme as well as the active site, thus making it impossible for the substrate to bind to the enzyme effectively.
3. <span>usually, a(n) inhibitor forms a covalent bond with an amino acid side group within the active site, which prevents the substrate from entering the active site or prevents catalytic activity: this is called irreversible or permanent inhibition. Permanent inhibitors form covalent bonds with the enzyme and prevent substrate from binding to the enzyme.
4. T</span><span>he competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate for the ACTIVE SITE on the enzyme: The active site of an enzyme is the place where the substrate normally bind in order to activate a enzyme. Competitive inhibitors are those inhibitors that compete with the substrate for the active site of the enzyme and prevent the substrate from binding there.
5. W</span><span>hen the noncompetitive inhibitor is bonded to the enzyme, the shape of the ENZYME is distorted. The non competitive inhibitors are those inhibitors that bind to other places in the enzyme instead of the active site. The binding of the non competitive inhibitor usually distort the shape and the conformation of the enzyme thus preventing the substrate from binding to it effectively.
6. E</span><span>nzyme inhibitors disrupt normal interactions between an enzyme and its SUBSTRATE. The principal function of enzyme inhibitor is to prevent the substrate from binding to the appropriate enzyme. This is usually done in the human system in order to regulate the activities of enzymes.</span>

Which finding would have disproved Virchow’s hypothesis?
dexar [7]

Answer:

Virchow was a German scientist whose most important work was in the filed of cellular biology and pathology.His scientific experiments and examinations aimed to disprove the idea of spontaneous generation. This idea is based on an assumption that life can spontaneously appear out of non-living matter. After years of scientific work he concluded that only living cells can produce other cells, or that only life can produce life.Therefore, if it was somehow proven that cells can be generated from non-living matter, that would disprove his findings.
