The condition Marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main protein component of elastic fibers. Pre
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

a. biomes

Explanation:

Ecology can be defined as the scientific study of the relationship between living organisms such as plants and animals in relation to their physical and biological environment.

An ecosystem can be defined as the natural living habitats of both living and non-living organisms, in which they interact with one another. Essential services such as plant pollination, water purification, nutrient cycling etc that are being provided by the ecosystem are really very vital, important and useful for the sustenance of life, both for humans and enhances social welfare.

Generally, the different continents on Earth are in a constant motion due to the fact that they're sitted on top of gigantic plates floating on Earth’s mantle.

Furthermore, the Earth’s core generate energy which also creates convection currents in the molten layer of the Earth, thereby, moving the plates.

Over an extremely long periods of time, the movement of these plates create new biomes.

In Ecology, a biome can be defined as a relatively distinct terrestrial region which is made up of animals, micrograms and plants, and it is typically characterized by similar environmental factors such as wind, relative humidity, rainfall, temperature, etc., irrespective (regardless) of where it occurs in the world.

There are five (5) main types of biomes and these are;

I. Forest.

II. Aquatic.

III. Desert.

IV. Grassland.

V. Tundra.
