Answer: B) Desert pack rats are active at night to conserve water.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability or quality of the body to maintain the internal temperature constant and stable with respect to the changes occurring in the external environment. This involves maintenance of the internal temperature, pH, and conservation of water.  

B is the correct option this is because of the fact that in desert water conservation will be the beneficial adaptation. The rat may experience dehydration in day but water will not be lost in night. This will help in maintaining the homeostasis.

describe the basic process of evolution by natural selection. Describe the underlying genetic basis and role of the environment
shepuryov [24]

Answer AND Explanation:

Darwin describes natural selection as a process whereby nature selects those organisms that have favourable characteristics to be parents of the next generation. The individuals possessing the favourable traits are better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. This enables them to stand a better chance to survive in the struggle for existence due to limited resources.

Neurons have long, thin processes called axons, which are structures specialized for conducting signals throughout the organism'
astraxan [27]

Answer:

1,000,000s

Explanation:

A micrometer (μm) is equal to 1 x 10⁻⁶ m

This means that 1 m = 1 x 10⁶ micrometers or 1,000,000 μm.

You can calculate the time it would take using the formula:

velocity = \dfrac{distance}{time}

So based on the formula above, you can derive the formula for time which will be:

time=\dfrac{distance}{velocity}

Distance = 1m or 1,000,000 μmeters

Velocity = 1μm/s

We just plug it into our formula:

time = \dfrac{distance}{Velocity}\\\\time=\dfrac{1,000,000micrometers}{1micrometer/s}\\\\time=1,000,000s

2. How do the effects of insulin resistance compound to decrease cellular responses to insulin?
victus00 [196]

Answer and explanation;

-The insulin receptor itself has decreased kinase activity leading to fewer binding sites for singling effectors to become activated.

Therefore; the signaling effectors are less likely to be activated.

-Additionally,, feedback inhibition decreases signaling effector binding to receptor.

-The lack of activation of these initial signaling effectors prevents any subsequent steps from happening.

-We can thus conclude this by saying that higher insulin concentrations are necessary to obtain the same level of signaling leading to physiological effects that would exist in someone without type-2 diabetes.

-Also the requirement for higher insulin concentration means that the cells that respond to insulin are resistant to its effect.
