<span>Characteristics that mentioned biomes have in common are:
- They are all forests, dominated by trees and other woody vegetation.
- They inhabit animal life with great microbial diversity.
- They all have big carbon sinks.
Still, trees different in a number of ways in these three biomes:
- </span><span>Tropical rainforest: Trees are evergreen and have large green leaves. Canopy is multilayered and dense, so there is a little light in the forests.
- </span><span>Temperate deciduous forest: Trees are deciduous, leaves are lost annually. Canopy is moderately dense, so there is more light than in tropical rainforests.
- </span><span>Boreal forest: Trees are evergreen conifers with needle-like leaves. Canopy is thick and permits low light penetration.</span>
Answer:
Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.
Explanation:
Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.
Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.
Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
In a ring species gene flow occurs between neighboring populations of a species, but at the end of the ring populations don’t interbreed.
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in the transfer of heat.
