I guess you read the wrong Que
It is the last question part b
Well as the question says keystone species are those whose disappearance can change the whole food chain all you have to do.is repeat this and state the effect of loosing seaotters. Like which species will increase as seaotters are gone and which will decrease as their predators have increased in numbers.As you can see the numbers of all species will change state changes in at least three with the definition of keystone species and you will get all 4 marks.

someone help me with this one
View attachment 52974 and the answer is B.....WHY ?
Look carefully at all the molecules, count the + charges and - charges. For there to be an overall charge, either there is more + than - or there is more - than +.
Alanine and glycine both have same number of + and -. So they are uncharged.

During moderate exercise, one breathes more heavily to supply more O2 to respiring cells and as quickly as possible. Thus we know that the tidal volume will increase. Note that X is the DISTANCE between the maximum and the crest on the wave. It is NOT THE AMPLITUDE OF THE WAVE. Thus if the tidal volume will increase, the amplitude of the wave will also increase and hence the distances X and Y will decrease.

View attachment 52979 answer is A ....Why?
Firstly you should understand that the 2 strands represent the 2 complementary strands of DNA
4 T's in 2nd strand means due to complementary base pairing there should be 4 A's in first strand...
The total number of base pairs are 15
so 15 nucleotides on each strand
we have on strand 1
A = 4
C = 6
T = 3
Add them gives 13
15 - 13 = 2
So 2 G's

B-cells secrete antibodies. T-cells stimulate B cells, and kill our body cells that have become infected.

Transcription = DNA to mRNA.
Translation = mRNA to polypeptide.
