You are touring several ecosystems, including an icy coastline in the Arctic, and a dry desert in the southwest United States. Do you predict that you will observe equal numbers of ectotherms and endotherms in all ecosystems? Explain your prediction.

No.

Explanation:

No, we observe different number of ectotherms and endotherms in  Arctic, and a dry desert ecosystems because there is difference in the temperature of both the environment. Due to difference in temperature of the external environment, the number of  ectotherms and endotherms are present in that ecosystem. More number of ectoderms are present in the desert ecosystem where the ectoderms survive better than endotherms so we can say that number or population is different.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
