List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower
DENIUS [597]

Answer: the question is incomplete,below is the complete question.

List two species that may be threatened by the construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert

The answers are, Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree.

Construction of a solar power tower in the California Desert will threaten the existence of Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and and Joshua tree.

Explanation: The construction of solar power towers in Mojave desert in California poses a threat to the existence of quite a number of plants.The Mojave desert houses the largest solar power plant in the world,creating the solar power tower will create job opportunities for people but at the same time endangering the existence of about 12 rare plants that are found in the region of which Desert torties, mountain yellow legged frog and Joshua tree are greatly included,these plants cannot co-exist with solar thermal mirror arrays,this brings a controversy between energy/electricity generation and wildlife/ecosystem conservation.

How can insulin deficiency lead to an increase in blood glucose concentration?
MakcuM [25]

When insulin is deficient , GLUT4 transporters are not inserted into the cell membranes , glucose is not transported into the cells and the blood glucose concentration increases.

Insulin deficiency provides more amino acid and glycerol substrates for glucose synthesis  ie increased gluconeogenesis .

With a deficiency of insulin, there is both increased hepatic glucose production through increased glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis as well as decreased glucose use. The result is hyperglycemia.

ancestors of giraffes with shorter necks could not reach branches high up in trees for food. this led to selection for longer-ne
hichkok12 [17]

With shorter necks, giraffe ancestors could not reach food-containing branches on tall trees. This resulted in the directional selection of giraffes with longer necks.

 

<h3>Why is choosing a direction necessary? </h3>

It nearly appears obvious that the giraffe's long neck developed as a result of a lack of food in the lower branches of trees. The giraffe has a significant advantage because it is taller than any other mammal and can feed where few others can. 

When compared to modern giraffes, the giraffe's ancient predecessors had a shorter neck. The plants that were lying at a higher level were inaccessible to them. Giraffe phenotypes have changed in various ways, and now have long necks to reach vegetation that is higher up. The extreme form is chosen above other features in directional selection. It was decided to choose the long-necked giraffe over the short-necked.

The gut of ruminants contains a highly diverse mixture of microbes responsible for digesting a wide variety of complex plant mol
podryga [215]
<h2>Microbes and ruminants relation</h2>

Explanation:

The mixture of microbes allows the host animal to produce a much wider variety of digestive enzymes, far more than the host could encode in their own genome

  • The microbes in the gut of ruminants include bacteria,fungi and protozoa
  • These microbes helps the ruminant animals to digest food,without the microbes these animals would die
  • The microbes break down feed to produce volatile fatty acids, which are used by the cow(ruminant animal) as energy for maintenance and milk production
