1. A mudslide wipes out the side of a thriving hill: This is negative as many trees and other organisms will get destroyed.
2. A volcano erupts, covering the nearby land with lava: This is negative as molten and extremely hot lava can cause serious damage to its surroundings.
3. A forest is rapidly growing new plant life: This is positive because new plants are being grown.
4. Humans remove wolves from a national park to protect surrounding homes: This is positive for humans because humans will be safe but it is negative for the eco system as removal of wolves can upset the eco system cycle.
5. A dam is built in the middle of a river ecosystem to supply water to a nearby town: This is positive for humans as a new water resource is being developed for humans but negative for aquatic organisms as the dam can hamper their ecosystem and can cause pollution in water.
Answer:
The role of carbon in biological systems is to allow the formation of organic molecules, in addition to providing energy for living beings.
Explanation:
Carbon is the fourth most abundant element on earth and one of the main elements of the viological systems, and its presence is essential for life on the planet to be maintained.
Carbon is necessary for all living beings, without exception. This is because it is used in the construction of organic molecules without which no living thing can survive, in addition to providing energy when it participates in sugar molecules, such as carbohydrates.
Answer:
Small head
Explanation:
Since the genes are located in the nucleus of a cell which has being removed (but some genes are still located in the mitochondria of the ocyte) from its ocyte to fuse it with with another nucleus. Since the cell follows a maternal inheritance of gene, it would have a small head because of the presence genes in the mitochondria.
The correct answer is "they allow traffic to proceed at the speed limit".
First of all, letter B is incorrect as the main function of the speed humps is not to bring harm to the motorists but to ensure the safety of the flow of the traffic. Letter A is correct as speed humps makes the motorists slow down on purpose for the traffic to proceed at a certain speed limit.
Answer:
D. some components of the cycle are used as building blocks for certain anabolic pathways
Explanation:
Kreb's cycle starts when pyruvate enters the cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The cycle completely breakdown acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O. The released energy is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2 which enter oxidative phosphorylation to drive ATP synthesis. Kreb's cycle is an amphibolic pathway as it is involved in both catabolic and anabolic processes.
Some of the intermediates of Kreb's cycle serve as precursors for other anabolic pathways. For example, alpha-Ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate from Kreb's cycle enter the anabolic processes of synthesis of amino acids aspartate and glutamate respectively. Succinyl CoA from Kreb's cycle serves as one of the intermediates for the synthesis of porphyrin rings present in "heme" groups. The heme group is a structural and functional part of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins.
