Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. Scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. However, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. These global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. In Switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. Some biologists urge the collection of the few remaining individuals of some of the most threatened amphibian species, to preserve them if they become extinct in the wild. If such captive breeding programs could produce thousands of individuals from just a few of the remaining survivors, the species will still be threatened because of ______.

Answer 1

Answer:

a bottleneck effect

Explanation:

Genetic drift refers to the change in the allele frequencies in a population due to chance (random) events. The bottleneck effect, also known as population bottleneck, can be defined as a severe case of genetic drift caused by a drastic reduction in the population size. The bottleneck effect is well known to cause the loss of important genetic variation since alleles that were present in the original population are lost, thereby limiting its genetic diversity. One of the most common causes that may lead to a population bottleneck in a natural population is environmental disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, etc).

Answers

Answer:

Flat discs inside chloroplasts that are arranged in stacks are called (2) __thylakoids_. (3) __Pigments__ are light-absorbing substances that are inside chloroplasts. They absorb light of different (4) __wavelenghs__. The green pigment in plants that is essential for photosynthesis is (5) __Chlorophyll __. Light energy absorbed by this pigment excites (6) ____electrons___. They are transferred to a(n) (7) _Electron Carrier_. Then they move down an electron transport chain.

Explanation:  

The chloroplasts are limited by an outer membrane and an inner one.  In the middle of the two membranes, there is a space left called intermembrane space. In the interior of the inner membrane, there is another space known as the stroma. Within the stroma, there is the third system of membranes, known as thylakoids. They are disk-shaped structures, limited by a membrane, and in their interior, there is a space named thylakoid space.

Thylakoids are arranged as piles, receiving the name of grana. Grana connect to each other by a longer thylakoid membrane. The photosynthetic pigments are placed in the thylakoids, where it occurs light-dependent reactions. These molecules are in charge of light absorption. The most common pigment is chlorophyll, which provides the typical green color of plants. When sunlight reaches the pigments, electrons get excited and move along the electron transport chain, places in the thylakoid membrane.  This process occurs during photosynthesis, while new electrons provided by water molecules replace the excited ones. The final products are oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.  

In the stroma, it takes a place the Calvin cycle.

Refer to Animation: Cell Signaling: Adrenaline Signaling in the Heart Muscle. Adrenaline stimulates an increase in heart rate by binding to: G proteins on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. adenylyl cyclase. regulatory regions in genes that code for muscle cell proteins. G protein-coupled receptors on the surface of heart muscle cells. nuclear transport proteins that allow adrenaline to be taken into the nucleus to act as a transcription factor.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is ''G-protein coupled receptors on the surface of cardiac muscle cells.''

Explanation:

Adrenaline is a catecholamine whose pharmacological effects occur at alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. The mechanism of action of all beta adrenergic receptors is the activation of a G protein that activates adenylyl cyclase and increases cyclic AMP production. Adrenaline by b-adrenergic stimulus increases the contractile force of the myocardium (positive inotropic action) and increases the frequency in which the myocardium contracts (positive chronotropic action), consequently there is an increase in cardiac work, with a greater demand for oxygen due to the myocardium to be able to contract. Therefore, the blood flow to the heart is indirectly increased, bringing with it a greater supply of oxygen.

Name at least three neuromitters and state the roles of these neuronmitters in human body ? Except acetylcholine, (GABA)and domanine. Please help as soon .

Answers

Answer:

 

Explanation:

The chemical messengers present in the body are known as neurotransmitters. These are the chemicals that the nervous system uses to send and receive information between neurons and muscles. A neurotransmitter can have one of three effects on a neuron:

Excitatory effect, Inhibitory effect, and/or Modulatory effect.

The list of neurotransmitters and their roles are as follows:

Glutamate: This is present in amino acid compounds which are located in the synapses. It functions as an excitatory neurotransmitter, causing neurons to discharge instructions when stimulated in the central nervous system.

Adrenaline: It helps to respond to body's psychological stress and protection mechanism. They are positioned above the kidney and are created by the adrenal glands. They operate throughout the central nervous system and swiftly increase your heart rate and provide oxygen to your muscles.

Serotonin: Serotonin is a crucial brain neurotransmitter that also has a role in the small intestine. In your digestive tract, serotonin increases feelings of contentment after eating and controls your appetite. When you eat anything that doesn't agree with your stomach, serotonin assists your body in getting rid of it.

In a haplodiploid mating system, how can the coefficient of relatedness between two sisters be 0.75 (75%)? Females are haploid, and they pass on 100% of their genes, whereas males are diploid and pass on 50% of their genes, meaning that the coefficient of relatedness is 0.75. Females can reproduce asexually, meaning they produce clones, and those clones share on average 75% of the genes of their sisters. If a queen mates with a single drone, then all the resulting females have all of the same genetic contribution from the male, since males are haploid and contribute 100% of their genes. Male and female bees are both diploid. The males contribute 100% of their genes to their offspring, and females contribute 50%. Therefore, each female offspring shares 75% of her genes with her sister siblings on average.

Answers

Answer:

If a queen mates with a single drone, then all the resulting females have all of the same genetic contribution from the male, since males are haploid and contribute 100% of their genes

Explanation:

Haplodiploidy is a type of sex-determination system where males are haploid (i.e., they contain only a set of chromosomes 'n') and develop from unfertilized eggs, whereas females are diploid (i.e., they contain two complete sets of chromosomes '2n') and develop from fertilized eggs. The bees show this haplodiploid system of sex determination, which is quite common to many hymenopterans. In bees, workers and queens are diploid (2n) females and contain 32 chromosomes, a set of 16 chromosomes is contributed by the queen's egg, and another set of 16 chromosomes is contributed by the drone sperm (16 + 16 = 32 chromosomes). On the other hand, drones are haploid (n) males and contain only one set of 16 chromosomes, which is exclusively contributed by the queen's egg.

A. Investigate the ecological impacts and gather evidence on which to base their decisions
B. Hire an agent to locate a suitable property and start developing infrastructure
C. Market the development to investors and explain ecotourism to them to raise money for the resort
D. Determine what types of activities the resort will offer and hire staff

Answers

Answer: The next steps in their plan should be to (Investigate the ecological impacts and gather evidence on which to base their decisions). The correct option is A.

Explanation:

ECOTOURISM is defined as the visitation of individuals (tourist) to natural areas that conserve the environment and sustains the well-being of the local people. It has to do with the interaction of the biotic components of the natural environment by tourists. This has the advantage of providing an incentive for the local inhabitants but can cause a long term negative environmental impact of not properly planned.

Conservation of these natural resources improves the quality of lives. It enables the inhabitants to live in a clean and healthy environment (eco-friendly). To set up a tourism center, certain rules and regulations needs to be met in order to avoid endangering both the biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem. Therefore these local groups should investigate the ecological impacts and gather evidence on which to base their decisions. This would help conclude if a particular selected environment is conducive.
