In the area with the largest sea lamprey population, a few things are done to reduce and control this population. Lampricide, Currently, the primary method to control sea lampreys utilizes a lampricide, called TFM, that kills sea lamprey larvae in streams with little or no impact on other fish.   Barriers,Barriers have been constructed to block the upstream migration of spawning sea lampreys; most barriers allow other fish to pass with minimal disruption. Barriers have eliminated lampricide treatment on some streams and reduced the stream distance requiring treatment on others. The Sterile-Male-Release-Technique, The sterile-male-release-technique aims to reduce the success of sea lamprey spawning. Each year male sea lampreys are collected and sterilized. When they are released back into streams the sterile males compete with normal males for spawning females. Lastly trapping, Sea lamprey traps are operated at various locations throughout the Great Lakes, often in association with barriers. Traps are designed to catch lampreys as they travel upstream to spawn.

Which of these terms apply to human digestive systems: intracellular digestion, extracellular digestion, blind gut, complete gut
artcher [175]

The right answers are complete gut and one-way gut.


Food is ingested by the mouth, where it is chewed and then thrown into the esophagus during swallowing.

After, there is food in the stomach

Then there is digestive absorption of nutrients in the small intestine

After that, Waste disposal and reabsorption of water in the colon (large intestine)

And finally, stool passes through the rectum (anus), where it is stored before defecation, induced by a reflex mechanism.

An iodine test of a tomato plant leaf revealed that starch was present at 5:00 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in July. When a similar
dimaraw [331]

This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was changed into simple sugars

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consist of many glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Starch will change color to an intense "blue-black" colour after the addition of aqueous solutions of the triiodide anion. To do it we can add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour The reaction between amylose that present in lesser amounts and iodine is said to account for the intense color change seen.

An iodine test of a tomato plant leaf revealed that starch was present at 5:00 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in July. When a similar leaf from the same tomato plant was tested with iodine at 6:00 am the next morning, the test indicates that less starch was present in this leaf than in the leaf tested the day before. This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was

  • 2. transported out of the leaves through the guard cells
  • 3. transported downward toward the roots through tubes
  • 4. changed into simple sugars

The process of protein denaturation Multiple Choice: a) is only possible in proteins with quaternary structure. b) is permanent
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Protein generally are very sensitive macro molecules; they have specific temperatures and pH that are ideal for their operations, this is especially true for proteins that act as enzymes in biochemical reactions.

There are four different types of structures that a protein can assume, these are primary, secondary, tertiary and Quaternary structure. The structure of a protein determines the kind of function it can perform.

There are some factors that can destroy the structure and functions of proteins, these include excessive heat and pH. A protein is said to be denatured when its secondary and tertiary structure have been disrupted or destroyed. Denaturation does not affect the primary structure of the protein, thus, the peptide bond remains intact.

Denaturation is usually temporary and can be reversed if the factors that cause denaturation is removed, this process is called RENATURATION. Renaturation process allow the protein to refold and resume its functions.  But sometimes,  denaturation  can be permanent and irreversible leading to permanent loss of protein functions.

In the initial period of learning, ________ describes when an organism learns to connect a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Option A, Acquisition

Explanation:

The first stage of learning is known as acquisition. It causes establishment of responses by pairing of Neutral stimulus, conditioning and un-conditioning stimulus. Once the association between a neutral stimulus and conditioned stimulus is established, the responses are acquired.  

For example – If a bird is trained to pick a key whenever there is a  sound of a bell, then after certain period of time an association will be established between the “ringing of bell” and “picking up of key” activity. Therefore, whenever the bird will hear the ringing sound it will search for key to be picked.

Thus, option A is correct.
