the climax is the ___ stage of the community change
a) final
b) first
c) second
d) third
Climax is the final stage of community change. Option A is correct.
It is the stage at which the community reaches a state of equilibrium, with a balance of different species and a stable ecosystem. Primary succession is the process by which a community develops on a new or disturbed area. The first species to colonize the area are called pioneer species.
These species are able to survive in harsh conditions and help to prepare the area for the arrival of other species. Secondary succession is the process by which a community develops after a disturbance, such as a fire or a flood. The community will usually recover more quickly than in primary succession, as the soil and other resources will already be in place. The climax community is not static, but it can change over time due to factors such as climate change or human activity. Option A is correct.

Please describe the regulation of the blood glucose 6 hours after a meal?
Please include all relevant organs, hormones, and actions.
Answer:
Find the description below in the explanation section
Explanation:
The body system regulates the blood sugar level via the hand-in-hand working of insulin and glucagon hormones, both produced by the Pancreas. After a meal, the food undergoes digestion and is broken down into glucose, which is absorbed into the bloodstream. Insulin hormone is released by the pancreas (stimulated by a negative feedback) when the sugar level of the blood increases. This secretion of insulin causes cells to absorb glucose as source of energy, while liver and muscle cells store some of the excess blood glucose as GLYCOGEN.
However, after about 6 hours of taking the meal, the blood sugar (glucose) level must have decreased. This triggers the secretion of Glucagon hormone by the Pancreas. Glucagon hormone, acts in an opposite manner as Insulin hormone, by causing the stored GLYCOGEN in the liver and muscle cells to be converted back to Glucose in order for cells to make use of it.
This continuous process occurs and it is how the body regulates the blood glucose levels.
When analyzing a cross involving two traits, each trait is analyzed separately, and then the frequencies of each are combined to yield the observed phenotypic ratios. Group of answer choices
Answer:
The correct answer is "True".
Explanation:
The missing options of this question are "true" or "false" and in this case the correct answer is "true". According to the laws of inheritance established by Charles Darwin, the certain traits of species can be analyzed and studied by using crossing experiments. These experiments are performed first by analyzing the traits of each individual separately and second by observing the frequencies of each are combined to yield the observed phenotypic ratios. Different approaches are used to study the frequencies of each allele, and the most widely used is the punnet square approach.
Some present-day bacteria use a system of anaerobic respiration characterized by an electron transport chain analogous to that found in aerobic organisms. Which of the following correctly characterizes the anaerobic electron transport chain?
a. It uses oxygen as a final electron acceptor.
b. It is embedded in the outer mitochondrial membrane rather than the inner mitochondrial membrane.
c. It establishes a proton gradient between the cytoplasm and the extracellular fluid.
d. It establishes a proton gradient between the intermembrane space and the cytoplasm.
e. None of these answer options accurately characterizes the anaerobic electron transport chain.
Answer:
The correct answer would be:
Neither of these response options accurately features the anaerobic electron transport chain.
Explanation:
The anaerobic respiration system vibrated by an electron transport chain is a mechanism that anaerobic bacteria have to maintain their respiration.
This mechanism does not require oxygen in the atmosphere, that is why it is said to be an anaerobic mechanism.
Bacteria do not all need oxygen in the environment to live, some need that oxygen is not exactly present (strict anaerobes) or that it is at low partial pressures (facultative anaerobes).
This mechanism is very characteristic in its location since it is located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria, that is why it will decide to indicate that option as the correct one.
The allosteric effector molecule 2,3-BPG facilitates transfer of oxygen between maternal and fetal blood in the placenta. Which of the following correctly describes the role of BPG in this process?
a. Fetal hemoglobin binds oxygen better than maternal hemoglobin because BPG is unable to cross the placenta into fetal blood, causing more fetal hemoglobin to be in the R state.
b. Fetal hemoglobin binds oxygen better than maternal hemoglobin because BPG is present at similar levels in fetal and maternal blood, but it binds poorly to fetal hemoglobin, causing more fetal hemoglobin to be in the R state.
c. Fetal hemoglobin binds oxygen better than maternal hemoglobin because BPG is present at similar levels in fetal and maternal blood, but it binds poorly to fetal hemoglobin, causing more fetal hemoglobin to be in the T state.
d. Fetal hemoglobin releases oxygen better than maternal hemoglobin because BPG is present at similar levels in fetal and maternal blood, but it binds more effectively to fetal hemoglobin causing more fetal hemoglobin to be in the T state.
Answer:
b. Fetal hemoglobin binds oxygen better than maternal hemoglobin because BPG is present at similar levels in fetal and maternal blood, but it binds poorly to fetal hemoglobin, causing more fetal hemoglobin to be in the R state.
Explanation:
BPG is a chemical compound which is found in red blood cells. It is known for decreasing the affinity of hemoglobin with oxygen and thus helps in unloading oxygen from hemoglobin.
Owing to the structural difference, fetal hemoglobin binds to BPG with less affinity as compared to maternal hemoglobin thus it shifts the oxyhemoglobin curve to the left i.e. causes fetal hemoglobin to be in the R state. Due to this, fetal hemoglobin can carry up to 30% more oxygen as compared to maternal hemoglobin. As a result of this, oxygen is readily transferred to fetal blood when maternal blood enters placenta which restricts hypoxia in fetus.
Some amateur and professional athletes take anabolic steroids to help them "bulk up" or build strength. The health risks of this practices are extensively documented. Apart from health considerations, how do you feel about the use of chemicals to enhance athletic performance? Is an athlete who takes anabolic steroids cheating, or is such use part of the preparation that is required to succeed in competition?
Answer:
Personally, yes I feel that taking steroids is cheating. Its giving you an "unnatural" edge. An athlete that takes steroids will develop more muscle mass than the athlete that doesn't. Also steroids increase aggression which could definitely edge out the "clean" athlete. It's also really unhealthy and can lead to a shorter life. A true athlete will work for their strength and be the natural human they are rather that an "enhanced" animal. This question is all about opinion so its depends on what you think, this is just my opinion.

molecular genetics experiment: In what way do the percentages of yellow leaves vary between dishes on Day 2? How do you account for this difference? Compare the percentage of yellow seedlings in dish 2 on day 2 with the percentage on day 4. What is the difference? What experimental variable accounts for this difference? How can you account for the difference between the seedlings in dish 1? Is the yellow color genetically or environmentally controlled? How can environmental factors affect inheritance? (Use human height as an example.)
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
There were yellow seedlings in Dish #1 during the light phase and also during the dark in Dish #2. The difference in these results is likely due to the period of exposure to light.
There are more number of yellow seedlings on Day 4. This is probably because of being kept in the dark for a long period of time. Light intensity is the experimental variable that accounts for this difference in appearance.
The yellow color is being environmentally controlled since the parent phenotype was wildtype in this experiment. The environment has an effect on which genes are expressed in the organism, which in turn influences the phenotype observed.

g If a pair of sister chromatids fail to separate during anaphase II (meiosis II), what will be the chromosome number of the four resulting gametes with respect to the normal haploid number (n)
Answer:
The result will be two gametes with a normal haploid number (n), one gamete containing an extra chromosome (n + 1) and one gamete missing one chromosome (n − 1).
Explanation:
Nondisjunction is caused by the failure in the mechanism of separation of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids during meiosis and/or mitosis. The failure in the separation of sister chromatids during meiosis II is referred to as 'secondary nondisjunction' and it produces two daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers.
The fusion of one gamete containing an extra chromosome (n + 1) with a normal (n) gamete will lead to trisomy (2n + 1), while the fusion of one gamete missing one chromosome (n - 1) with a normal gamete will lead to monosomy (2n-1).
From the following list, correctly identify the reason(s) that might explain a decrease in Vmax due to a suboptimal pH during an enzyme assay.
a. Protonation of the substrate
b. Deprotonation of the amino acids in the enzyme’s active site
c. Denaturation of the protein’s tertiary structure
d. Decrease in the rate of substrate collisions with the enzyme’s active site
e. Change in the entropy of the reaction
f. Increase in the molar extinction coefficient (e) of the product
Answer:
The correct answer is -
a. Protonation of the substrate.
b. Deprotonation of the amino acids in the enzyme active site.
c. Change in tertiary structure in extreme conditions.
Explanation:
During an enzyme assay, suboptimal pH is changed and affect the Vmax to decrease and this could take place due to various reasons such as-
A) protonation of the substrate - Upon protonating or adding a proton or hydrogen cation to a substrate atom, the mass and the charge of the species each increase by one unit which make a conjugate acid.
B) Deprotonation of the amino acids in the enzyme’s active site -Changing the pH will affect the charges on the amino acid molecules.
C) Denaturation of the protein’s tertiary structure- Tertiary structure of the protein is basically a backbone of peptide chain with one or more secondary domains of proteins that increasing the pH or decreasing the pH get denature.
Thus, the correct answer is : option A, B, C.

10. How is Soil formed? What is Soil Erosion?
Answer:
soil is formed by weathering of rocks
soil erosion is the removal of the top soil by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice
Soil is formed by various factors:
The Sun heats up rocks during the day so that they expand. At night, these rocks cool down and contract. Since all parts of the rock do not contract and expand at the same rate, this results in crack formation and huge rocks break up into smaller pieces.Water is another factor for soil formation. Water could get into the cracks in the rocks formed due to uneven heating by the Sun. If this water later freezes, it would cause the cracks to widen. Flowing water wears away even hard rock over long periods of time. Fast flowing water often carries big and small rock particles downstream. These rocks rub against each other and the resultant abrasion causes the rocks to wear into smaller and smaller particles. The water takes these particles along with it and deposits it further down its path. Soil is thus formed in places far away from its parent-rock.Wind also erode rocks down. The wind also sand from one place to the other.Living organisms also influence the formation of soil. The lichens grow on the rock surfaces. It releases certain substances that cause the rock surface to powder down and form a thin layer of soil. Other small particles like moss, are able to grow on this surface now and they cause the rock to break up further. The roots of big trees sometimes go into cracks in the rocks and as the roots grow bigger, the crack is forced bigger.Thus, soil is formed like this.Removal of the topsoil is known as the soil erosion.Hope you could get an idea from here.

Comparison of glycogen synthesis and breakdown in muscle and liver reveals: A. Stimulation of glycogen breakdown in both tissues by epinephrine leads to enhanced glucose uptake by liver cells and enhanced glucose export from muscle cells. B. Stimulation of glycogen synthesis by insulin in both tissues leads to glycogenolysis in both liver and muscle. C. Inhibition of glycogen synthesis in both tissues by epinephrine leads to glycogenolysis in both liver and muscle. D. Stimulation of glycogen synthesis by insulin in both tissues is accompanied by decreased glycogenolysis. E. Epinephrine stimulates glycogen uptake in liver and breakdown in muscle.
Answer:
The correct options are C and D:
C- The inhibition of glycogen synthesis in both tissues by epinephrine leads to glycogenolysis in both the liver and muscle.
D- The stimulation of glycogen synthesis by insulin in both tissues is accompanied by a decrease in glycogenolysis.
Explanation:
The presence of epinephrine causes the glycogen reserve that is present in the liver and muscle to enter the glycogenolysis stage, that is, the chemical structures of glycogen are broken and simplified in energy coins (ATP) so that the activity muscle contract against stimulation of the adrenergic nervous system.
The adrenergic nervous system is one that promotes physical activity, physiological stress, flight from danger, and other activities, is also known as the sympathetic system and is where epinephrine or adrenaline predominates as a neurotransmitter.
The liver and muscle are the only possible organs to reserve glycogen in a limited way, once its reserve limits are exceeded it will begin to deposit in the form of adipose tissue, glycogenogenesis or formation of glycogen as reserve is promoted by insulin and the system parasympathetic nerve, visceversa to what we explained above with the sympathetic nervous system and epinephrine, since the latter break the glycogen reserves releasing glucose into the blood for muscle contraction.

Jack has just returned from the hospital where Jack's father is recovering from a heart attack. The doctors told Jack that his dad's atherosclerosis is very serious. Jack and his wife, Melanie, are worried about Jack's father and also are starting to think about Jack's risk of also having heart disease in his lifetime. He sets up an appointment at his doctor's office and has his blood lipid levels evaluated for the first time. Let's see if you can answer some of the questions that Jack and Melanie have. Which risk factor does Jack have no control over?a. Obesityb. Geneticsc. Stressd. Atherogenic diete. Jack can change all of these risk factors.
The correct answer is B. Genetics
Explanation:
In health, a risk factor is a variable that can make a patient more likely to develop a disease or condition. Additionally, some of these factors can be controlled or changed by the patient, while others cannot be modified. Factors that can be controlled include stress, diet, weight, alcohol intake, and habits. This does not apply to factors such as age or genetics, for example, in the case of genetics, this is determined by the genes of each parent when a human being is formed, and therefore there is not any way to change this; although factors such as diet, stress, or smoking affect the expression of mutations in genes. Thus, the risk factor Jack has no control over is genetics.
Since the llamas will not sell well with malformed feet, you decide to select the herd against this defect. You separate the affected llamas and send them to market, allowing only the normal llamas to mate and produce the next generation, (W22 = 0, W11=1, W12 =1). What will be the allele frequency for the foot defect in the next generation?
a. 1.0.279
b. 0.300
c. 0.336
d. 0.150
e. 0.228
The question is incomplete as the frequency of alleles is not given, however, the frequency and population are given below :
Frequency of a = 0.506
total population = 500, Number of aa = 128
Answer:
The correct answer is - option C. 0.336.
Explanation:
Let, A = Normal allele, a = Defective allele
So, AA & Aa will develop normal phenotype & aa will develop defective phenotype.
Frequency of a = 0.506
So, Frequency of A = 1 - 0.506 = 0.494
So, frequency of AA = (0.494)2 = 0.244036
So, frequency of Aa = 2 x 0.494 x 0.506 = 0.499928
so, frequency of aa = (0.506)2 = 0.256036
total population = 500, Number of aa = 128
So, Number of AA = (0.494)2 x 500
= 122.018 which is almost 122 so considering it 122
So, Number of Aa = (2 x 0.494 x 0.506) x 500
= 249.964 which is almost 250 so considering it 250
It is given that, Relative fitness of AA (W11) & Aa (W12) is 1, and the relative fitness of aa (W22) is 0.
Now, mean fitness = (Frequency of AA x Fitness of AA) + (Frequency of Aa x Fitness of Aa) + (Frequency of aa x Fitness of aa)
= (0.244036 x 1) + (0.499928 x 1) + (0.256036 x 0) = 0.244036 + 0.499928 = 0.743964
So, after selection frequency of Aa
= (Frequency of Aa x Fitness of Aa) / mean fitness
= 0.499928 / 0.743964 = 0.67198 (Up to 5 decimal)
So, after the selection frequency of aa
= (Frequency of aa x Fitness of aa) / mean fitness
= 0 / 0.743964 = 0
So, frequency of a
= 1/2 of frequency of Aa + Frequency of aa
= 1/2 x 0.67198 + 0
= 0.33599 + 0
= 0.33599 which is almost 0.336
Zinc, an essential trace element for most organisms, is present in the active site of the enzyme carboxypeptidase. The zinc most likely functions as _____. Zinc, an essential trace element for most organisms, is present in the active site of the enzyme carboxypeptidase. The zinc most likely functions as _____. a noncompetitive inhibitor of the enzyme an allosteric activator of the enzyme a coenzyme derived from a vitamin a cofactor necessary for enzyme activity
Answer:
The correct answer is a cofactor for enzyme activity.
Explanation:
Carboxypeptidase is a metallo-enzyme in which zinc is present at active site. It has been accounted for by Coleman and Vallee that the protein can be deactivated by the removal of zinc and that reactive again by the expansion of zinc, cobaltous, ferrous, nickel. which suggests that zinc is acting as the cofactor for this metalloenzyme. Zinc is a cofactor for up to 300 chemicals in the body. Proteins that utilization zinc as a cofactor is known as metalloenzymes.
Thus, the correct answer is a cofactor for enzyme activity.
