Answer and Explanation:

Running or jogging comes under the category of aerobic training/exercise. By definition, aerobic exercise means that the person is training her/his body in the presence of excessive oxygen. So, metabolically speaking, the person is relying on availability of oxygen to carry out metabolism which is mainly about production/supply of energy (ATP) by the breakdown of food in the presence of oxygen. This process is also known as cellular respiration. So, if a person is doing aerobic exercise (running), s/he needs more energy to keep doing the exercise. Typically, aerobic exercise produce more energy (32 molecules of ATP) as compared to anaerobic process (2 molecules of ATP) per reaction run. Thus, In the process of aerobic exercise, the lungs will respire faster to allow more diffusion of oxygen in the blood. Then, this oxygen will be transported to all body by heart pumping and then oxygen enters the cells. Once oxygen is entered, it acts as terminal electron acceptor in a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. This process takes plance in the mitochondria and produces 32 molecules of ATP per reaction.

Answer:

Peach orchards

Explanation:

Using the Elton's diversity hypothesis, the worst effect of Asian long-horned beetle will be peach orchard.

This is because according to the Elton's diversity hypothesis, a more diverse population is less susceptible to invasion by exotic pest. of the options, peach orchard is the less diverse and would most likely be more affected.

You see an entire pond, with the same plant across most of it. The plant seems to be surviving very well. Which adaptation does

faust18 [17]

Answer: One advantage is, well, the water. There’s plenty of it and it’s all around. Therefore, most aquatic plants do not need adaptations for absorbing, transporting, and conserving water. They can save energy and matter by not growing extensive root systems, vascular tissues, or thick cuticles on leaves. Support is also less of a problem because of the buoyancy of water. As a result, adaptations such as strong woody stems and deep anchoring roots are not necessary for most aquatic plants.

Where would you expect to find telomerase activity?

ehidna [41]

Telomerase is found in fetal tissues, adult germ cells, and also tumor cells. Telomerase activity is regulated during development and has a very low, almost undetectable activity in somatic (body) cells. Because these somatic cells do not regularly use telomerase, they age.
