Why is it important to study grouse habitat selection and demography relative to human land use practices?

Grouse species have evolved living in environments with little vertical structure and in areas with minimum human activity (from roads and cultivation to other more complex infrastructure). In the recent decades, there has been a significant increase in wind energy development in diverse areas and ecosystems. This development involves construction and placement of tall man-made structures, such as wind turbines and other infrastructure in habitats with high wind capacity. These habitats are often occupied by grouse species. This coexistence could severely endanger the species survivorship and reproductive ability. It is very important to study grouse habitat selection and demography, so that appropriate regulatory guidelines can be applied to wind energy development.

The treelike fibers that receive information and send it toward the neuron's cell body are called ____

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The treelike fibers that receive information and send it toward the neuron's cell body are called Dendrite

Explanation:

Dendrite:- They are tree like projections generally the extension of nerve cell which helps in the transmission of nerve impulses or electrochemical stimulation from one neuron to another. It is also known as dendrons. For neurons to become active they need some action potential, these action potentials are received in the form of nerve impulses or electrochemical stimulation by dendrite and is been stored in the cell body, or soma, of the neuron. Dendrites are covered by synapses (Structure that permit neural transmission).

In designing an experiment that would support endosymbiotic theory, which of the following would provide the best evidence?

netineya [11]

Answer: “Comparing the mitochondrial DNA between different eukaryotes to see how closely they are related.”

The endosymbiotic theory focuses on the origin of two eukaryotic organelles that have bacteria characteristics (mitochondria in animals and chloroplasts in plants). These two are s are believed to have developed from symbiotic bacteria.

In designing an experiment that would support the endosymbiotic theory, the statement that would provide the best evidence is comparing mitochondrial DNA between different eukaryotes to see how closely they are related.

Identify the role(s) of atp in muscle contraction.

hram777 [196]

ATP is responsible for cocking (pulling back) the myosin head, ready for another cycle. When it binds to the myosin head, it causes the cross bridge between actin and myosin to detach. ATP then provides the energy to pull the myosin back.

Tresset [83]

Answer: A (colored feathers.)

Explanation: There are many birds with colors that are variously different on the Galapagos.

So, Darwin carefully observed the finches of the Galapagos island. What he noticed was that they were similar to the mainland finches, but each island finch has different colored feathers.
