Answer:
The correct answer is - decreased population size at all levels.
Explanation:
A decrease in the productivity of producers of an ecosystem will lead to a decrease in all other organisms of the ecosystem including top-level consumers to the bottom-level producers due to the fact that producers provide energy and food to primary consumers.
It is because they are the only organisms that convert the sunlight to usable energy and food that transfer from one trophic level to other, so if the population of producers or their productivity will decrease then there will be decreased population size at all levels.

Question 1: Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health (20 points) a) Describe two ways of measuring biodiversity. Explain the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem stability. As part of your explanation, discuss how susceptibility to disease in agricultural crops and in isolated tribal human populations provides evidence that supports this idea. (5 points)
Answer:
explanation below
Explanation:
A) Biodiversity is simply known as the number and variety of organisms found in a definite environment or region. Scientists have devised several ways of measuring biodiversity and the methods to be used depend on the type of organisms they are to count.
Canopy fogging – one of the ways of measuring biodiversity, has remained an effective way of obtaining details about the biodiversity of insects. It involves the act of spraying low dose of insecticides on a tree top, and when the insects fall from the trees, they are being collected on a large screen, that looks like a funnel.
Transact sampling is another way of measuring biodiversity and this time, with a transact line. The transact line is usually a measuring tape or rope that has been marked at set intervals.
b) Ecosystem stability is the ability of the ecosystem to maintain its steady state, even after it has experienced stress or disturbances. The biodiversity of an environment makes huge impact on the ecosystem stability in that particular area. It has been known that certain areas that have high levels of species and genetic diversity, are more likely going to an ecosystem that is complex, with varying food webs and biotic interactions. The increase in this complexity makes it more likely that the ecosystem of that area will rightly move back to a stable state whenever disturbances are experienced.
There are evaluated scientific evidence that shows that reduced biodiversity affects the transmission of communicable disease in agricultural crops, animals and humans. Loss of biodiversity usually increases susceptibility to diseases in plants and humans.
Fire and Mello conducted an experiment where they added no gene X RNA (b), anti-sense gene X RNA (c) or double stranded gene X RNA (d) to C. elegans embryos. They then did a hybridization experiment examining gene X mRNA levels in the embryo. Square (a) is a no probe control. How does this act as a control
Answer:
The correct answer is - It shows that an RNA probe is necessary to get a signal.
Explanation:
A probe is a specific single-stranded sequence of DNA or RNA that recognizes its complementary sequence in a particular sample genome for synthesis. The RNA probe is placed into close contact with the given sample under a specific environment that allows the RNA probe sequence to hybridize with its complementary sequence.
In this case, square a is the condition where no RNA probe is persent whereas all three other conditions have some sort of RNA probe, however, in C there is no Gene X probe but their probe present. To get a signal in hybridization RNA probe is required and that can be used as control as it can be used to compare if a signal is received or not.

2. epiphyseal plates
3. bone mineral density (BMD)
4. obesity
5. food insecurity
6. life expectancy
7. arthritis
8. congregate meal
Explanation:
Picky eating is a behavior in early childhood when they refuse to eat certain foods and only want the same foods, while food jag is when a child only eats a small group of foods, meal after meal. The epiphyseal plate is a specialized layer of hyaline cartilage where chondrocytes (i.e., the only cells found in healthy cartilage) proliferate and differentiate during longitudinal bone growth. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints caused by different reasons (e.g., injury, genetic causes, infections, immune system dysfunction, etc), whose risk increases with age. Bone mineral density (also known as bone density), is the amount of mineral in bone tissues, being the best manner to measure bone health. Obesity can be defined as an excessive amount of body fat that presents a risk to health. Over the past 30 years, the prevalence of obesity has doubled in children and tripled in adolescents, representing a serious health problem (especially in developed countries). Moreover, food insecurity is a social condition of limited access to food for individuals in a household to live an active, healthy life, which can be used as a metric of how many people cannot afford food. Life expectancy is an estimation of the number of years a person can expect to live in a given country/region. Life expectancy around the world has increased for nearly 200 years especially due to medical progress and access to food. Finally, a congregate meal refers to a healthy meal provided to anyone age 60 or over that encourages older adults' social connections with other persons at the meal sites.

Australia and New Zealand have a wide array of plants and animals found nowhere else because those organisms evolved in _____. Question 9 options: in the Southern Hemisphere
Answer:
These organisms evolved inside these countries.
Explanation:
Organisms evolved inside Australia and New Zealand countries because these two countries are isolated means there is no way for the movement of crops or animals from other regions into these environment. There is a big ocean present between these countries and other countries so the organisms only evolved inside these two countries not from the outside environment.

A bear walks into the room. In response, you run away. Trace the events that occur from the initial release of epinephrine to the release of glucose into the blood to the generation of ATP (which ultimately leads to muscle contraction). In your answer explain the processes of a. epinephrine signal transduction leading to glucose release b. cellular respiration using glucose as the substrate and generating ATP c. acetyl choline signal transduction at the neuromuscular junction d. generation of the action potential e. muscle contraction that results
Answer:
a. Epinephrine >> G protein-coupled receptor >> cAMP >> phosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthase >> glucose
b. Cellular respiration >> glycolysis >> pyruvate oxidation >> Krebs cycle >> acetyl CoA>> oxidative phosphorylation
c and e. Acetylcholine >> nicotinic receptors >> sodium ions (enter to the cells) >> muscular action potential >> contraction
d. Action potential >> resting potential >> potassium channels open >> sodium channels open >> threshold potential >> voltage-gated sodium channels and potassium channels open >> membrane repolarization >> resting membrane potential (steady state of the cell)
Explanation:
Epinephrine binds to G protein-coupled receptors, triggering the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP). cAMP is a second messenger associated with the phosphorylation of 1-glycogen phosphorylase (GP) that breaks down glycogen (the storage form of glucose) into glucose, and 2-glycogen synthase (GS), involved in the production of glycogen (i.e., phosphorylation inhibits GS activity). On the other hand, during cellular respiration, glucose is used to synthesize ATP via three sequential steps: glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. During glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate that is subsequently oxidated into Coenzyme A (acetyl CoA), generating NADH and ATP. In the Krebs cycle, acetyl CoA is combined with the oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid, generating NADH, FADH2 and ATP. During oxidative phosphorylation, electrons from NADH and FADH2 are used to pump protons against an electrochemical concentration gradient, which is finally used to synthesize more ATP. On the other hand, during muscle contraction, acetylcholine binds to nicotinic receptors and sodium ions enter the muscle fiber, thereby generating a muscular action potential that travels across muscle cells and triggers muscle contraction when calcium ions (Ca2+) bind to the protein complex troponin by sarcomere shortening (sarcomeres are the functional units of muscle fibers). This contraction ends when Ca2+ ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (a unique organelle of endoplasmic reticulum in the sarcoplasm). On the other hand, an action potential is defined as a fast and propagating change of the resting membrane potential of neuron cells. In the resting potential, potassium ion (K+) channels open, thereby K+ ions can enter/exit inside the cell. A stimulus causes the depolarization of the cell by opening Na+ channels that enter into the neuron. At the threshold potential, more sodium channels open, thereby voltage across the membrane reaches its most positive value. Subsequently, channels begin to close and more potassium channels open. Finally, the membrane repolarizes (K+ ions leave the cell) and cells return to the resting membrane potential, i.e., the steady-state of the cell.

A transmembrane protein has the following properties: it has two binding sites, one for solute A and one for solute B. The protein can undergo a conformational change to switch between two states: either both binding sites are exposed exclusively on one side of the membrane or both binding sites are exposed exclusively on the other side of the membrane. The protein can switch between the two conformational states only if both binding sites are occupied or if both binding sites are empty, but cannot switch if only one binding site is occupied. What kind of protein do these properties define
Answer:
The protein is a symport protein.
Explanation:
Transport proteins are proteins which are involved in the transport of solutes across the cell membrane. The binding of the solute to be transported across the membrane causes a conformational change in the shape of the protein, thereby moving the molecule to the side of nthe membrane it is to be transported. The difference in the concentration of the solute across the membrane known as concentration gradient is mainly responsible for the transport of molecules by the transport proteins.
There are three types of transport proteins: uniport, symport and antiport transport proteins.
Uniporters are involved in moving only one molecule across a membrane
Symporters are involved in moving two or more molecule across a membrane in the same direction.
Antiporters are involved in moving two or more molecule across a membrane in opposite directions.
From the description of the transport protein in the question, both solutes A and B are moved across the membrane simultaneously in the same direction. Therefore, the protein is a symport protein.

Thinking about taxonomy, the basic unit of naming, that includes
members with the ability to reproduce with each other, is?
Answer:
species.
Explanation:
Taxonomy can be defined as the process of naming, classification and description of living organisms such as plants and animals. Thus, it is the biological classification of living organisms based on similarities or characteristics such as eyes, number of legs, etc.,
The eight (8) biological classification (taxonomy) used for grouping and organizing organisms are; kingdom, domain, phylum, family, order, class, genus and species.
In taxonomy, species refers to the basic unit of naming that includes members such as mammals and reptiles with the ability to reproduce with each other to birth new offsprings and exchange genetic informations. Some examples of species include Homosapiens, Vulpes, Elephas maximus, Pinus banksiana, Alces laces, Ursus americans, Canis lupus, etc.
In conclusion, taxonomy helps scientist to have good understanding and knowledge when studying various organisms.
In DNA replication, gaps between newly synthesized segments of DNA and existing segments of DNA are sealed by enzymes called ______, which form covalent bonds between the two segments.
Answer:
In DNA replication, gaps between newly synthesized segments of DNA and existing segments of DNA are sealed by enzymes called ligases, which form covalent bonds between the two segments.
Explanation:
During DNA replication, there is a continuous strand of DNA and fragments of DNA called Okazaki fragments. The DNA ligase will join the Okazaki fragments using ATP's energy and creating a covalent bond between the phosphate of a nucleotide in an Okazaki fragment and the sugar of a nucleotide in another Okazaki fragment. As a result, there are two continuous DNA fragments.
