Answer:

This theory is useful to understand volcanic activity, seisms, mountains creation and others earth's dynamics

Explanation:

Using this theory, geologists have explained a lot of questions about the Earth; we have unterstood, for example why continents have forms that seem to be part of a big puzzle, and the reconstructed the Earth's history based on plates movements, their actual movements velocities and directions.

Also we understand now origin of volcanoes, origin of seisms and how did mountains form and why do we find marine fossils on the top of the Everest. This allow us to study that kind of geological hazards and like this we can prepare a little to avoid natural disasters.

Caffeine prolongs and intensifies the effects of epinephrine. Which of the following potential mechanisms of action of caffeine
kherson [118]

Answer:

a. inhibits cAMP phosphodiesterase, the enzyme that converts cAMP to AMP.

Explanation:

The phosphodiesterases are a group of enzymes that are capable of breaking phosphodiester bonds such as those between nucleotides in nucleic acids. The Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger involved in intracellular signaling pathways. This molecule (cAMP) is hydrolyzed by the cAMP-dependent phosphodiesterase, which catalyzes the enzymatic breakdown of phosphodiester bonds (i.e., hydrolyzing cAMP to 5-AMP). The cAMP levels are modulated by the balance between its generation and the degradation via cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase.

Symptoms of uric acid.​
irina [24]

Answer:

Elevated uric acid levels lead to a condition known as "Hyperuricemia."

Explanation:

This condition occurs when there is an excessive presence of uric acid in the blood. It can be divided into:

  • Primary hyperuricemia
  • Secondary hyperuricemia

Primary hyperuricemia occurs when the kidneys are not able to eliminate uric acid in an efficient/proper way. This can be due to the consumption of foos that are very high in purines. For example, liver, gravy, alcoholic beverages, and some vegetables such as spinach and asparagus.

Secondary hyperuricemia may occur to several possible reasons. For instance, kidney disease, in which the kidney is not able to eliminate uric acid; chemotherapy, which may lead to the accumulation of uric acids; or medications that increase the level of uric acid in the blood.

Symptoms include:

  • Fever.
  • Extreme and abnormal fatigue.
  • Joint inflammation.
  • Urination problems.
  • Kidney stones.

To prevent this disease and as part of a treatment (along with medications prescribed by a doctor), a patient should opt to consume foods that are low in purine, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cereals, fruits, milk, eggs, amongst others.

State one effect the reintroduction of the wolf may have on the coyote population within the Adirondacks
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Decrease in the population of coyote occurs after the reintroduction of the wolf within the Adirondacks  effect.

Explanation:

Wolves are the top predator in the ecosystem. They hate coyote and kill them and sometime eat them too. So the reintroduction of the wolf decreases the population of coyote by killing them directly and by consuming the prey and the coyote die due to hunger. Coyote feed on rabbit, snakes, deer, fruits and grasses so decrease in coyote population increases the availability of grasses and other animals for different animals.
