The condition Marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main protein component of elastic fibers. Pre
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.

A Carbon Sink is a reservoir which absorbs more carbon than it releases. Suggest how carbon in the bodies of crustaceans and mol
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Crustaceans and Molluscs play an important role in the oceanic carbon sink.

Explanation:

Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset greenhouse gas emissions. Forests and oceans are both large carbon sinks. Algae is pressurized to bottom of the ocean by long term sequestration. Algae then falls to the bottom of the ocean and TRANSFORMS to fossil fuels.

  • CO2 is not combustible.
  • creates carbonic acid in the oceans.
  • Reduces seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and thus calcium carbonate (needed for shells for marine creatures, contributes to BOTTOM-UP EFFECT)

Why can't prokaryotic species be defined as a group of similar organisms that could sexually reproduce together?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The prokaryote divides by asexual mode of reproduction.

Explanation:

The concept of species which defines a species as a group of individuals of a population which can interbred and produce a fertile progeny is applicable to the organism which can reproduce sexually.

Since the bacteria divide through asexual means and not through sexual ways therefore the concept of defining a species becomes complicated and does not apply.However the concept of species in prokaryotes is still a topic of research.  

Thus, the biological concept of species is not applicable to prokaryotes.
