To determine: The goal of Shahid Naeem and colleagues experiment at Silwood Park, England.
Introduction: Ecosystem is defined as the interaction between the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) components present in the environment. These interactions are important for the proper flow of nutrients and energy in a system. Different organisms of the ecosystem contribute in a different way and presence or absence of any one species have a great effect on the functioning of the ecosystem.

- Question 3: Based on Lotka-Volterra's models, you should be able to change just 1 parameter of your experiment (N₁, N2, K₂, K₁) and change the outcome of question 1. 1. State which parameter you would choose to change and how you will change it. That you could increase №₁ is: II. How does changing this parameter alter the outcome? (i.e. What is the new outcome? - Do you go from 1 always species winning to coexistence? from stability to instability? coexistence to 1 species always winning? from species 1 wins to species 2 wins) III. Using concepts of interspecific, intraspecific competition and/or carrying capacity, explain why you think changing your parameter changed the outcome?arrow_forwardQuestion 2arrow_forwardQuestion -The FDA has authorized the use of direct-to-consumer testing for three mutations in BRCA genes that elevate cancer risk, but cautions that a negative result does not rule out increased cancer risk. How can this be true? A. It is impossible to trust companies that are selling genetic tests. B. They have a conflict of interest, and so the tests should be used for entertainment value only C. These tests are not highly accurate, and false negatives are possible. Individuals with a family history should have a negative result confirmed with a different test to be sure they are truly at low risk of developing cancer There are more ways to get cancer than a mutation in the BRCA gene. D. The test only detects three out of more than 1,000 known BRCA mutations. This means a negative result does not rule out the possibility that an individual carries other BRCA mutations that increase cancer risk..arrow_forward

- Can someone please help me with these questions?arrow_forwardquestion: A pneumothorax occurs when the chest wall is punctured and air moves down its pressure gradient from the pleural cavity to the external environment, resulting in the collapse of the lung as the air leaves the thoracic cavity. answer should clearly state whether or not the statement is correct and then concisely explain why. the answer should be like a few sentences and address all of the points in the statement. Here is an example: Both transmembrane carrier proteins and transmembrane channel proteins can mediate active transport of a hydrophilic solute through a cell plasma membrane. This statement is incorrect. Movement of a solute through a channel protein is always passive, whereas carrier-mediated transmembrane transport can be either passive or active. A transmembrane channel protein creates a pore through the membrane allowing for simple diffusion of a hydrophilic solute down a concentration gradient through the membrane. In contrast, transmembrane carrier…arrow_forwardQuestion 4.
