Between 1962 and 1971, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) channeled the Kissimmee River and created a 30-foot deep, 300-foot wide, 56 mile long drainage canal (C-38). This project converted 44% of the floodplain to pasture, draining approximately 31,000 acres of wetlands. Before channelization, the River was a haven for wildlife, including at least 39 species of fish and 38 species of water birds.
Kissimmee River Restoration began in 1992 and has been the most successful ecosystem restoration initiative to date. By re-channelizing the River to replicate its natural paths, birds and other wildlife responded more quickly than anticipated and demonstrated the resiliency of nature. This success has been used all over the world to justify the value of ecosystem restoration. When Kissimmee River Restoration is completed in 2015, more than 40 square miles of the River-floodplain ecosystem will be restored, including almost 20,000 acres of wetlands and 44 miles of historic river channel.
1. Nucleic acids are the molecules that code the genetic information of organisms.
2. The two nucleic acids used in the repair, reproduction and protein synthesis are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA, shown) and ribonucleic acid (RNA)
3. DNA and RNA are polymers made up of monomers called nucleotides
Answer:
When carbohydrate consumption exceeds the body's immediate needs for energy, glycogenesis decreases.
The process of conversation of stored glycogen in the liver and muscles to glucose is Glycogenesis. It takes place when the blood glucose drops,below certain levels and the body cells need glucose for biochemical activities.Therefore, when there are excess CHO consumption,more glucose would be in the blood,and thus no need for glycogenesis.(breakdown of glycogen)
Glycogen storage space in the liver and muscles is limited. When glycogen stores are full, use of glucose for energy __Increases__________ and oxidation of fat for energy ___decreases_________ .
Definitely, this is a simple logic.As the storage for glycogen is limited,excess glucose move into the blood, since they can not be converted to glycogen.The glucose is expended through cellular reduce the amount in the blood. Therefore, Gluconeogenesis, the production of glucose from non-CHO substances drops. Hence beta- oxidation drops.
Overall, when carbohydrate intake is excessive, lipogenesis increases.The process of converting excess CHO to fatty acids.Biochemically it is the process of converting the Carbon precursor of acetyl co -A to fatty acids.Therefore this increases to synthesized more fatty acids from CHO
Explanation:
The Simple cuboidal epithelium<span> forms thyroid gland and secretes hormones is shown in the picture attached.
