Answer:
b. Cities like New York, New Orleans, and Miami will be flooded by ocean water.
Explanation:
The theory says global warming will cause the temperature of the planetary atmosphere to rise. The hotter environment will make ice masses of Greenland, and the poles to melt completely and make coastal cities like New York, New Orleans, and Miami flooded by the ocean.
The DV is measured for results
Answer: option A - threat, after habitat loss, to native species of plants and animals and to the maintenance of biologically diverse ecosystems
Explanation:
Invasive species refers to organisms that appears at a particular habitat that has just undergone an environmental unfavorable condition.
These INVASIVE SPECIES poses THREAT to the native organisms, because they usually possess:
better resistance to disease,
higher reproductive rate, etc.
So, even when native organisms migrate or dies, Invasive species REMAINS. As a result, they threaten the maintenance of a biologically diverse ecosystem
The right answer is C.
Synovia is a viscous biological fluid located at the joints and fulfilling several functions. It limits bone friction between them, dampens shocks, provides the nutrients and dioxygen necessary for chondrocytes (cartilage cells) while eliminating their metabolic waste, and benefits from the presence of immune cells to eliminate possible body foreigners.
Answer: C). prolong the effect of epinephrine by maintaining elevated cAMP levels in the cytoplasm
Explanation: In the epinephrine pathway, binding of epinephrine to its receptor triggers a conformational change in the receptor and the interaction of the receptor with its associated Gs protein. This interaction causes the replacement of GDP bound to Gs protein with GTP thus activating the Gs protein. The activation of the Gs protein causes the alpha subunit of the Gs protein to dissociate and move to adenylyl cyclase, another membrane protein in the pathway. The association of the alpha subunit of the Gs protein with adenylyl cyclase activates adenylyl cyclase which in turn catalyzes the synthesis of cyclic AMP (cAMP) a second messenger. cAMP is quickly degraded to 5'-AMP by an enzyme phosphodiesterase. Inhibition of the activity of phosphodiesterase will increase the half life and the cytoplasmic level of cAMP thus potentiating the action of epinephrine.
