Why is the Aral Sea shrinking

Biology
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
5 0

It was how fast it was disappearing. Once the world's fourth largest lake, the Aral Sea in Central Asia has been losing water for half a century — ever since Soviet engineers began diverting the two rivers that sustain it, the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, in order to grow cotton in the desert.

Which of the following statements is FALSE? a) A cell will shrink when the concentration of electrolytes is greater inside the c
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

a) A cell will shrink when the concentration of electrolytes is greater inside the cell than outside the cell. FALSE

Explanation:

The regulation of cell fluid is caused by molecules called as Electrolytes. The higher concentration of these electrolytes outside the cells or lower concentration inside the cells will suck water outside the cells. Water is pumped to the area where the concentration of electrolytes is high. It is also clears from the Option d) that water follows the movement of electrolytes so it means that water will move to out if the concentration of electrolytes outside the cells is high which will cause shrinkage of cell organelles.

When the acetyl-CoA produced during -oxidation in the liver exceeds the capacity of the citric acid cycle, the excess acetyl-Co
Oliga [24]

Answer:

There is a need to transform the accumulation of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies, as one knows that acetyl-CoA is both labile and possess an enormous amount of energy. Hence, acetyl-CoA due to its unstable characteristic is not ideal for circulation within the tissues, and at the same time, the compound acetyl-CoA does not possess the tendency to pass through the cell membrane.  

Due to these reasons, the conversion of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies is done, the ketone bodies also act as an alternative source of energy. The ketone bodies work as water-soluble correspondents of fatty acids. The production of ketone bodies generally takes place within the liver cells' mitochondrial matrix. The three forms of ketone bodies are beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone.  

The production of ketone bodies by the liver cells helps the cells of the brain at the time of starvation, as the brain cannot use fatty acids as an energy source, as the fatty acids cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier.
