Answer:
limiting factor
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, certain factors hinder the growth or abundance of the population of organisms. These factors are called LIMITING FACTORS. Limiting factors, which can be biotic, food, drought, predation, disease etc, are factors that inhibits a population of organism from becoming enlarged. There are two types of limiting factors viz: density dependent (depends on size) and density independent (not dependent on size).
This is the case of a drought that dries up the stream that inhabits a population of salamanders. The drought causes the unavailability of water, which will ultimately have an effect on the growth of the salamander population. Hence, the DROUGHT is considered a LIMITING FACTOR.
George Mendel chose to use purebred plants in his experiments because they have a variety of traits.
Answer:
Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.
Explanation:
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was famous French Naturalist. He was a soldier, a biologist and an academic. He gave an early theory of evolution known as the theory of Lamarckism.
It was Lamarck who first believed that elephants earlier had small trunks. But eventual when there was scarcity of food and water, the elephants stretched out its trunk to reached out for food such as trees and also water. And as a result their offspring inherited long and powerful trunk.
In his theory of Lamarckism, he believed that the species passes on its traits to the offspring which they acquired through their use in their lifetime. In this case, the elephants might have used their trunks in such a way that they became long and strong over time and they passed tis trait to their babies.
Answer:
B) FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2
Explanation:
FADH2 and NADH give their high energy electrons to the terminal electron acceptor molecular oxygen via an electron transport chain. As the electrons move through electron carriers of the electron transport chain, they lose their free energy. Part of the free energy of the electrons is used to pump the protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space. Therefore, part of the energy of electrons is temporarily stored in the form of a proton concentration gradient.
NADH gives its electrons to FMN of complex I while FADH2 gives its electrons to the Fe-S center of complex II. Both the complexes are oxidized by coenzyme (Q) which in turn reduces Fe-S centers of complex III. Cyt c of complex IV obtains electrons from complex III and passes them to CuA center, to heme "a" to heme "a3-CuB center" and finally to the molecular oxygen.
So, the compounds arranged with respect to the energy content of electrons in descending order are as follows: FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2.
