Researchers in the Netherlands studied the effects of parental caregiving in European kestrels over 5 years. The researchers transferred chicks among nests to produce reduced broods (three or four chicks), normal broods (five or six),  and  enlarged  broods  (seven  or  eight).  They then measured the percentage of male and female parent birds that survived the following winter. (Both males and females provide care for chicks.) Brood Size Manipulations in the Kestrel: Effects on Offspring and Parent Survival

 
Which of the following is a conclusion that can be drawn from this graph?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Female survivability is more negatively affected by larger brood size than is male survivability. 
  2. Male survivability decreased by 50% between reduced and enlarged brood treatments.
  3. Both males and females had increases in daily hunting with the enlarged brood size.
  4. There appears to be a negative correlation between brood enlargements and parental survival.

Rubisco catalyzes both the carboxylation and the oxygenation of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the oxygenase activity of rubisco causes partial loss of the carbon fixed by the Calvin–Benson cycle, to avoid loss a reaction takes place such as photorespiration, The following statements about photorespiration.

a.) To avoid drain of carbon out of the Calvin–Benson cycle is metabolized through the C2 oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle

b.) In photorespiration involves chloroplasts, leaf peroxisomes, and mitochondria

c.) During oxygenation process Rubisco fixes oxygen at high temperature

d.) One of the rection of the C2 cycle is Glycine converted into the serine is takes place in peroxisome

a.) In the carbon cycle; the transfer two molecules of glycolate and recovers one molecule of glycerate and releases one molecule of CO2

b.) In the nitrogen cycle, one molecule of glutamate and recover one molecule of NH4 +

c.) In the oxygen cycle; contributes to the removal of H2O2 formed in the oxidation of glycolate by O2

i) Takes place in Peroxisome

ii) In Mitochondria

iii) In the Chloroplasts
