Water is often compromised through mining. Mining often leads to water pollution. For example, acid mine drainage occurs when rising water levels in mines come into contact with sulfide-containing rocks. This leads to a chemical reaction which produces sulfuric acid. The water produced is very acidic, and is able to dissolve all sorts of toxic metals from the rocks. This water can enter the surface waters such as lakes and rivers, and the low pH of the water as well as the toxicants can destroy the aquatic ecology.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase:_______.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A. Will only phosphorylate glycogen synthase (GS) after GS has been phosphorylated by casein kinase.

Explanation:

Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) is a type of enzyme capable of phosphorylating serine and threonine residues on the glycogen synthase (GS). The insulin hormone activates the synthesis of glycogen by dephosphorylating GS, but it is a mechanism that depends on the previous phosphorylation of GS by Casein Kinase (CK). GSK is also known to phosphorylate the insulin receptor (IRS), and thus controlling glucose metabolism.

In coccidioidomycosis, _______ containing many endospores form in the lungs.
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

spherules

Explanation:

Like histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis is acquired by the inhaling fungal spores.

<u>Arthrospores are formed by the hyphal fragmentation in this case. Once in body, fungus differentiates into the spherules which are filled with the endospores. </u>

Most of the C. immitis infections are self-limiting and asymptomati. The endospores are transported in blood, disseminating infection and thus leading to formation of granulomatous lesions on face and nose. I

<u>Thus, spherule is a thick-walled spherical structure which encloses the endospores and occurring in parasitic form of the fungi of genus Coccidioides.</u>
