Question 23 (6 points)
Sea Urchins are aquatic mammals that dive down to catch and eat sea urchins. Sea
urchins hunt the sea floor to catch and eat starfish. Starfish feed off of kelp forests
under the sea.
When sea otters overpopulate they clean out the sea urchins very quickly. This
allows the starfish to overpopulate and eat too much of the kelp forests.
Answer the following questions for 2 points each:
1. Name the TWO organisms that act as Carnivores in the ecosystem described
above.
2. Identify the ecological roles of the other TWO organisms.
3. Identify which of the four organisms above would be considered a keystone
species. Explain why.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Sea urchins and sea otters

2. They are prey for carnivores.

3. Sea otters, star fish

Explanation:

Sea urchins and sea otters are carnivores as they eat on the flesh of starfish and sea urchins respectively.

Starfish feed on the kelp forests which are the producers in the food chain and the starfish is the primary consumer and prey for sea urchins.  So, starfish and kelp forests are the prey in the marine ecosystem.

Keystone species is the one which controls the population of other inferior species in an ecosystem. Here, sea otters consume sea urchins so the population of sea urchins remained in control Starfish controls the population of kelp forest.

Untamed type, a person who exhibits the typical phenotype, which is the phenotype typically present in a population of living things. Mutant, a person who deviates from the typical phenotype in some way.

What are the phenotypes of the flies that are not wild-type?

The phenotypic of a species' normal form as it appears in nature is known as the wild type (WT). The wild type was initially thought to result from the “regular” standard allele at a location, as opposed to a non-standard, “mutant” allele.

Type wild, an individual with the typical phenotype, or the phenotype typically present in a population of living things in the wild. Mutant, a person, has a phenotype that is different from the typical phenotype.

Therefore, to characterize a gene in its natural, unaltered (unchanged), non-mutated form. Some cancer types have been linked to mutated (changed) versions of specific genes.

7. Which type of mass movement occurs rapidly
when a single mass of soil and rock suddenly
slips downhill?
A. creep
B. landslide

Answers

Answer:

The most destructive type of mass movement is a landslide, which occurs when rock and soil slide quickly down a steep slope. Some landslides may contain huge masses of rock, while others may contain only a small amount of rock and soil. A mudflow is the rapid movement of a mixture of water, rock, and soil.

Si usted sitúa un grupo de plantas verdes (que realizan fotosíntesis) dentro de un ambiente rico en CO2 (dióxido de carbono) con el carbono marcado radiactivamente, es decir, puedo seguir el rastro del carbono. ¿En qué moléculas espera encontrar la marca al interior del cuerpo vegetal?

Answers

Answer: Esperaría encontrar la marca en el interior de moléculas de glucosa ya que el CO2, ya que se utilizan 6 moléculas de CO2 para sintetizar una molécula de glucosa.

Explanation:

La fotosíntesis es un proceso utilizado por las plantas y otros organismos fotoautótrofos para convertir la energía de la luz en energía química que, a través de la respiración celular, puede utilizarse para llevar a cabo distintas actividades metabólicas. Esta energía química se almacena en moléculas de carbohidratos, como los azúcares, que se sintetizan a partir de dióxido de carbono y agua. También se libera oxígeno como producto de desecho.

La energía de la luz es absorbida por unas proteínas llamadas centros de reacción que contienen pigmentos verdes de clorofila. En las plantas, estas proteínas se encuentran en el interior de unos orgánulos denominados cloroplastos, que son los más abundantes en las células de las hojas, mientras que en las bacterias están incrustadas en la membrana plasmática. En estas reacciones dependientes de la luz, se utiliza una parte de la energía para despojar de electrones a sustancias adecuadas, como el agua, produciendo gas oxígeno. El hidrógeno liberado por la ruptura del agua se utiliza en la creación de otros dos compuestos que sirven como almacenamiento de energía a corto plazo, permitiendo su transferencia para impulsar otras reacciones: estos compuestos son el nicotinamida adenina dinucleótido fosfato reducido (NADPH) y el adenosín trifosfato (ATP), la "moneda energética" de las células.

El almacenamiento de energía a largo plazo en forma de azúcares se produce mediante una secuencia posterior de reacciones independientes de la luz denominada ciclo de Calvin. En el ciclo de Calvin, el dióxido de carbono atmosférico se incorpora a compuestos de carbono orgánico ya existentes, como la ribulosa bifosfato (RuBP). Utilizando el ATP y el NADPH producidos por las reacciones dependientes de la luz, los compuestos resultantes se reducen y se eliminan para formar más carbohidratos, como la glucosa.  

Entonces, si el carbono en la molécula de dióxido de carbono (CO2) se encuentra marcada radiactivamente, esperaría encontrar la marca en el interior de moléculas de glucosa ya que el CO2, ya que se utilizan 6 moléculas de CO2 para sintetizar una molécula de glucosa.

Certain mental problems are thought to be caused by not having enough
neurotransmitters. Why would a lack of neurotransmitters cause problems?
A. Neurons would not be able to receive sensory messages.
B. Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron.
C. Neurons would not be able to grow longer.
D. Neurons would not be able to move to new areas.

Answers

Answer:

B. Neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron.

Explanation:

Lack of neurotransmitters may cause problems because neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron.

The lack of neurotransmitters cause problems because neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron. Therefore, option (B) is correct.

A neurotransmitter is a molecule that a neuron secretes to influence another cell at a synapse. Another neuron, a gland or muscle cell, or the target cell, could be the cell that receives the signal.

Your body cannot function without chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Chemical signals, or "messages," are carried from one neuron (a nerve cell) to the next target cell by them. The following objective cell can be another nerve cell, a muscle cell or an organ.

Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun and the moons in orbit around their planets.

From the Sun, the order of the planets is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. You might need to be able to recall this in the exam.

The planets go around the Sun in slightly squashed circular elliptical orbits.

Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet or planetoid. It has a highly elliptical or eccentric orbit.
