Anabolic and catabolic reactions in eukaryotes can occur simultaneously in cells. this is possible because a. of the compartmentation of metabolites for the reactions of opposing pathways b. the anabolic and catabolic pathways do not share any intermediate metabolites c. all catabolic reactions are exergonic and all anabolic reactions are endergonic d. they all occur in the cytosol

a.of the compartmentation of metabolites for the reactions of opposing pathways

Explanation:

Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that take place in an organism. This definition may seem simple, but it involves a set of knowledge that opens up like a fan.  The energy transformations processed in an organism indicate that they initially occurred within each individual cell.

The set of reactions that allow the formation of molecules of greater complexity is called synthesis reactions or anabolism.  When reactions take place in the decomposition of more complex structures into simpler new ones, they are known as degradation or catabolism reactions.

Within eukaryotic cells there is compartmentalization of metabolites for opposite pathway reactions, so both anabolic and catabolic reactions can occur simultaneously within an organism.

An example of catabolism is the process of digestion, when molecules are broken down into smaller absorbable substances; and as an example of anabolism the union of amino acids for the formation of proteins, such as melanin.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.  

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
