Jim does research in Antarctica. He frequently endures extremely low temperatures. Explain how his skin, muscles, and metabolism

Biology
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Skin,muscles and metabolism play a significant role in maintaining his body temperature

Explanation:

Role of skin

In cold environment the blood vessels of the skin constrict to prevent the loss or liberation of heat from his(jim) body.

Role of muscles

The one of principle function of muscle is to store glycogen.The stored glycogen of jim"s muscle  undergo glycogenolysis to generate heat inside his body.

Role of metabolism

In cold environment the rate of aerobic respiration and other catabolic reactions such as beta oxidation of fatty acid occur to generate energy in form of heat in his body.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Buffers are the chemicals (acid or base) that maintain the level of pH in the living organisms. Different types of buffers that are present in many organisms are bicarbonates ad bi-phosphates.

The phosphate buffer is comprised of inorganic phosphate (HPO₄²⁻) which can bind with free hydrogen when the level of pH is low or in a highly acidic condition. In case of an excessive pH condition or in a basic condition, the phosphates act as a buffer by releasing the hydrogen ions.

Thus, the correct answer is an option (D).

Both Duchenne muscular dystrophy and color blindness are caused by recessive alleles. DMD, unlike color blindness, nearly always
Ronch [10]

Answer: Although both are X-linked recessive conditions, and therefore more likely in males, with the single X-chromosome. The recessive allele in colour blindness occurs at a higher frequency in the population and is a mild condition. Thus colour blindness does occur to a lesser extent in females because it needs the double recessive condition. DMD is a severe, disabling condition with a limited lifespan, and recessive allele frequency much lower, so the double recessive condition in females is very rare.

Explanation: DMD is an X-linked recessive, “nearly always in males” suggest that it also occurs due to a new mutation or some rare condition e.g. double recessive from an affected father and carrier mother, or inactivation of the normal gene in a heterozygote. It is also found that the defective allele is not completely recessive and that female carriers may exhibit mild to moderate effects.

colour blindness is polygenic, although the genes are all X-linked. It is more common in males than females. Females can carry two recessive alleles and so express the phenotype, but this is uncommon because the frequency of the recessive gene is low.

There are similarities in that both are X-linked recessives, therefore commonly expressed in males, who only have one X chromosome. The gene frequency of the colour blindness recessive is much higher than that of DMD, so the double recessive condition, which affects females, is more likely to be seen with colour blindness. In addition, DMD is a severe condition associated with disability and limited lifespan, which reduces the probability of mating between an affected male and carrier female

Use the diagram to answer each question. How do volcanoes form at A?  
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Volcanoes are formed at the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.  

<u>During a divergent plate motion, along the mid-oceanic ridge, seafloor spreading takes place. Here it is represented by location B. Due to this, the magma becomes extremely hot and exerts an upward pressure towards the seafloor</u><u>. </u><u>As a result of which the ocean floor slowly rises up forming sea volcanoes.</u> The eruption takes place and the lava forms and deposits on the seafloor, near and along the mid-oceanic ridge. As this region undergoes continuous spreading, so the crust comprised of these rocks slowly moves away from the ridge.
