Answer:
c. Glutamine is metabolized by deamination, oxidation, and acidification.
Explanation:
Bicarbonate ions are an important part of bicarbonate buffer system which helps to maintain the pH of blood. Whenever blood starts to become acidic, bicarbonate ions increase to neutralize its effect. Their concentration can be increased by many mechanisms, for example tubular reabsorption.
However, glutamine catabolism does not replenish bicarbonate ions, in fact it does the exact opposite. Kidney generates ammonium ions by catabolism of glutamine which are excreted in the urine. This process also facilitates the excretion of bicarbonate ions.
During dormancy, seeds wait until the conditions are optimal for cellular respiration. Modifications would include things such as seeding elongation, germination and hormone regulation
Active transport moves molecules from HIGH to LOW concentrations
The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.
