What can a biologist infer from a population that is uniformly distributed though it’s habitat?

Levart [38]

I believe, from a population that is uniformly distributed through its habitat a biologist can infer that it has reached it's carrying capacity. Population distribution describes how the individuals are distributed, or spread through out their habitat. Population size and population measure are important measures of the population. When the population is uniformly distributed, it means that they are evenly spaced over the area they occupy, thus the individuals compete for a scarce environmental resources, such as water in a desert.

Those with generalized anxiety disorder are likely to have overactivation of _________________ with anxiety-provoking events:

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

When an individual experiences excessive and continuous worry and anxiety about certain events of life(families,job security} to the extent that this happens uncontrollably in the subject, and difficult to control, such neurological disorder is called generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

It is caused by over activation or stimulation of the region of the brain(amygdala) that mediate response to fight and flight stimulus and fear.

It is usually diagnosed when the inability to control worries extends beyond days to months with symptoms like poor concentrations, overthinking ,indecision, inability to relax, continuous taking every event as life threatening and disrupted sleep patterns.

Generally, sensory stimuli of fear or danger in the brain are transmitted by two brain circuits to two regions of the brain, to the peripheral cerebral cortex for processing voluntary decisions about the situation, and the Amygdala for processing involuntary emotional decision.

<u> Physiologically; it is the amygdala that processes how the body reacts to the effects of the stimuli in the immediate environments, the influence of the stimuli on the emotions of the subject, and the involuntary response to the stimuli by the subject.</u>

In response to the sensory stimuli of fear It stimulates the hypothalamus, which in turn activate the circulatory and breathing centre of the brain.Therefore,hormones(adrenaline) are released into the blood stream to increase blood pressure, heartbeat, breathing rate, muscle contractions and other involuntary response to anxiety. This gives a fast response compare to the cerebral cortex which takes time to relay response.

Amygdala, generally stores memories of all emotions, fear, and anxiety. In GAD patients, their Amygdala is sensitive and had been adapted to the storage of fear and anxiety to the extent that every slight normal event which does would not portend danger is over reacted to with fear or flight response which triggers the two brain circuits described above to give anxiety-provoking events.

Intake of drugs, psychotherapy are the mode of treatments.

What happens to excess carbohydrates in animals?

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "They are stored as fat".

In animals, the excess of carbohydrates or glucose is first converted into glycogen (polysaccharide) through the process called glycogenesis. It is then stored in the liver and skeletal muscles.

When glycogen reservoirs are saturated, excess carbohydrates, as well as proteins, are converted into fats which are then majorly stored in adipose tissues.

Adipose tissues serve as the long-term energy storage reservoirs.

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:mutualism

In a mutualistic relation,both organisms involved benefit from the activities of each other. The benefits may be nourishment,shelter, protection etc.

In the above example,the birds are known to guide humans by responding to specific calls made by the human. They guide humans to beehives and then in return gets to feed on left over honey. Both the bird and human benefits by getting nourishment.

Mutualism is unlike parasitism where one of the organism involved benefits and the other organisms Is most likely harmed. It is also not commensalism, where one organism benefits and the other neither benefits nor is harmed
