Organisms that originated in a certain geographic region and can only be found in that region are said to be endemic.
Explanation:
Endemic organisms are taxonomic species (plants and animals) which originates and distributed only in specific geographic regions. This state of evolution is called endemism.
They are said to be native or indigenous to that particular region which can be an ecological habitat, an entire nation, an island, a mountain range etc. Certain parts are known for majority of their species being endemic like St. Helen Island, New Caledonia Island, Hawaiian Islands, Southern regions of Africa, and Australia.
The species becomes endemic to a particular region because of the presence of certain bio-geographical environmental qualities of that habitat which are favorable to that species.
When these conditions become unfavorable, then species becomes restricted leading to endangerment or extinction of the species.
Examples:
- Kangaroo - Australia
- Nilgiri Tahr, - Nilgiri Hills, India
- The Redwood trees of West Coast of the USA
- Plants like kalo, sumac of Hawaii
Answer:
When literacy rates goes up then crude birth rates will automatically be decline
Explanation:
Crude birth rate refers to the number of births /1000 in a population. It doesn’t count the age and sex in a population.
General fertility corresponds to number birth of a women age between 15- 49 in a year.
Factors Affecting fertility Rates: Healthcare,Education
Healthcare: Improvement in healthcare leads to drop infant mortality rate , knowledge of birth control measures and economic status have an impact on birth rates.
Education: Female literacy rate and knowledge of birth control and employment opportunities also decline crude birth rate.
Answer:
The intense and constant activity of insulin synthesis explains why pancreatic beta cells possess more rough endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes than other cells.
Explanation:
Both ribosomes and the rough endoplasmic reticulum are necessary for protein synthesis to occur. In cells whose function is to produce substances, such as glands, the content of these cellular structures is higher in order to fulfill their function.
The pancreatic beta cells, located in the islets of Langerhans, have the function of synthesizing insulin, an endocrine hormone in charge of regulating the glucose content in the blood. <u>Because the beta cells constantly produce insulin, their content of rugged endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes is high, in order to satisfy the demand for this hormone in the body</u>.
Answer:
b. High Blood Pressure. Decreased Blood Flow
Explanation:
As per the details, patients's kidney is retaining more sodium causing increase in blood volume which will result into high blood pressure and decrease in blood flow.
This is because excessive salt in the body causes high blood pressure (hypertension) that results into stiff and narrow blood vessels and decreases blood flow to other organs. To overcome the supply of less blood to the organs, the heart pump blood with more intensity that further increases blood pressure.
Hence, the correct option is "b".
