Organisms that originated in a certain geographic region and can only be found in that region are said to be endemic.

Explanation:

Endemic organisms are taxonomic species (plants and animals) which originates and distributed only in specific geographic regions. This state of evolution is called endemism.

They are said to be native or indigenous to that particular region which can be an ecological habitat, an entire nation, an island, a mountain range etc. Certain parts are known for majority of their species being endemic like St. Helen Island, New Caledonia Island, Hawaiian Islands, Southern regions of Africa, and Australia.

The species becomes endemic to a particular region because of the presence of certain bio-geographical environmental qualities of that habitat which are favorable to that species.

When these conditions become unfavorable, then species becomes restricted leading to endangerment or extinction of the species.

Examples:

Kangaroo - Australia
Nilgiri Tahr, - Nilgiri Hills, India
The Redwood trees of West Coast of the USA
Plants like kalo, sumac of Hawaii

Answer:

For the production of food for animals.

Explanation:

365,000 acres of land were needed for the production of feed for animals in order to produce beef. Feed such as grasses, berseem, shaftal and maize etc are given to animals because these plants has high protein content which is necessary for the production of meat in animals. If proper feed is not provided to animals so they becomes weak and low in meat which will not fulfill the beef need of a country so proper feed is necessary for the production of high amount of beef.

marshall27 [118]

A group of Chinese women with PCOS who were receiving treatment saw several metabolic and hormonal imbalances improve after taking BBR. The primary consequences may be connected to the modifications in body composition in obesity and dyslipidemia. For the evaluation of the possible beneficial metabolic effects of BBR in women with PCOS, additional controlled trials are required.

PCOS:

Objective: Insulin resistance is a common metabolic and reproductive condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) (IR). A quinoline derivative alkaloid known as berberine (BBR) has been utilized as an insulin sensitizer and is isolated from Chinese medicinal herbs. There may be a therapeutic benefit for PCOS from BBR. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of BBR and metformin (MET) on the metabolic characteristics of PCOS-affected women.
Design and methods: Ninety nine PCOS and IR patients were randomly assigned to one of three therapy groups: BBR+ compound cyproterone acetate (CPA; $n=31$ ), MET $+$ CPA $(n=30)$ , and placebo $+$ CPA $(n=28)$ for $3$ months. Before and after the treatment period, metabolic and hormonal measures as well as the clinical characteristics of the women were evaluated.
Results: Reduced waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR;P< $0.01$ ), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC; P< $0.05$ ), as well as increased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG; P< $0.05$ ) were all observed following treatment with BBR as compared to MET. Similarly, BBR treatment decreased WHR, fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model evaluation for IR, area under the insulin curve, TC, LDLC, and TG (P< $0.05$ ), while increasing HDLC and SHBG (P< $0.01$ ) as compared to placebo.

What do the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions have in common? hints what do the parasympathetic and sympathetic division

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Most nerve fibers from both divisions innervate many of the same effectors.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions share the same sites of origin.

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for controlling the homeostasis, resting and digestion functions of the body. The sympathetic nervous system controls the body's response against threat and fight and flight responses. Both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems are responsible for the involuntary functions of the human body.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions share the same sites of origin because both have the nerve fibers that are originated from brain or spinal cord that are directed or passes to the targeted organs.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions innervate many of the same effectors so as to induce functions according to the bodily needs.
