When a plant opens and closes its stomata, it is maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis includes the regulation of carbon dioxide and water levels necessary to perform photosynthesis. It also allows the plants to store water to prevent them from dying
First, I chose to put a Chipotle container into the trash, instead of the recycling. This wasn’t the best decision, because it could have gone to the recycling and helped others.
Secondly, my family owns a compost bin and compost machine that helps compost vegetable waste, fruit scraps, coffee grounds, and other compostable items. Choosing to do this helps the environment in many ways.
Thirdly, I picked up many aluminum cans on the side of the road to crush and collect. After several months of collecting them in a container, my family and I bring them to a place that recycles and reuses metals and aluminum.
When conducting legal experiments on animals, a researcher needs to obtain consent from the INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH BOARD.
Each research institution has research board which sees into uses of animals for research purposes, consent must be obtained from the board before experiments involving usage of animals is carried out.
Oh this one is so cool!
It basically all boils down to Vitamin D! We need this essential vitamin to help our body build hormones and regulate calcium. Our bodies make Vitamin D when we are exposed to the UV rays found in sunlight. But as we all know, too much sunlight isn’t good because these UV rays can harm us. Melanin (the chemical that our bodies produce to darken skin tone and hair color) provides protection from UV rays by absorbing them. However, this means that the more melanin that is produced by someone’s body results in less absorption of UV rays and a decrease in Vitamin D production. But for someone living around the equator or in the tropics that doesn’t matter because there’s lots of sun all the time. So for humans living in these areas where there’s lots of sunlight year round, it’s beneficial to have darker skin to protect from the harm of UV rays. People living in these areas still get plenty of Vitamin D though because of that year round sunshine.
Now what about those who’s skin has less melanin, such as those found in the higher latitudes? Well with less sunlight year round, their bodies had to adapt to be able to get enough Vitamin D. So less melanin is produced by the body in order to absorb the lesser amounts of UV rays to make Vitamin D. Lighter skin is, therefore, more beneficial the farther away you go from the tropics.
So essentially:
Pro of Darker Skin tones
-Protection from harmful UV rays
Con of Darker Skin tones
-Less absorption of UV rays and less production of Vitamin D
Pro of Lighter Skin tones
-Greater absorption of UV rays and more Vitamin D production
Con of Lighter Skin tones
-Less protection from harmful UV rays (resulting in sunburns and, in extreme cases, skin cancer)
This is of course the biology answer. The social impacts of different skin tones is a whole different story that you can ask in the history section.
Virions are physical entities containing nucleocapsid, capsid and sometime envelop. It exists extracellularly. Viruses are genetic material that occur intracellularly
