Athamas the Minyan, a founder of Halos in Thessaly but also king of the city of Orchomenus in Boeotia (a region of southeastern Greece), took the goddess Nephele as his first wife. They had two children, the boy Phrixus (whose name means "curly"—as in ram's fleece) and the girl Helle. Later Athamas became enamored of and married Ino, the daughter of Cadmus. When Nephele left in anger, drought came upon the land.

Ino was jealous of her stepchildren and plotted their deaths: in some versions, she persuaded Athamas that sacrificing Phrixus was the only way to end the drought. Nephele, or her spirit, appeared to the children with a winged ram whose fleece was of gold. The ram had been sired by Poseidon in his primitive ram-form upon Theophane, a nymph and the granddaughter of Helios, the sun-god. According to Hyginus, Poseidon carried Theophane to an island where he made her into a ewe, so that he could have his way with her among the flocks. There Theophane's other suitors could not distinguish the ram-god and his consort.

Nepheles' children escaped on the winged ram over the sea, but Helle fell off and drowned in the strait now named after her, the Hellespont. The ram spoke to Phrixus, encouraging him,[d] and took the boy safely to Colchis(modern-day Georgia), on the easternmost shore of the Euxine (Black) Sea.

There Phrixus sacrificed the winged ram to Poseidon, essentially returning him to the god. The ram became the constellation Aries.

Phrixus settled in the house of Aeetes, son of Helios the sun god. He hung the Golden Fleece preserved from the sacrifice of the ram on an oak in a grove sacred to Ares, the god of war and one of the Twelve Olympians. The golden fleece was defended by bulls with hoofs of brass and breath of fire. It was also guarded by a never sleeping dragon with teeth which could become skeleton soldiers when planted in the ground. The dragon was at the foot of the tree on which the fleece was placed.

In glycolysis, pyruvate, ATP, and NADH are produced. The lactic acid fermentation process uses the NADH molecule from glycolysis
jekas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Fermentation does not involve an electron transport system, and no ATP is made by the fermentation process directly. Fermenters make very little ATP—only two ATP molecules per glucose molecule during glycolysis. ... During lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate accepts electrons from NADH and is reduced to lactic acid.</em>

Which environment is most likely to be characterized by dry scrub with frequent fires?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Environments likely to be characterized by the presence of dry scrubs and frequent wildfires are those that lack the presence of rain and suffer high sunlight hours.

When referring to the terrestrial biomes that meet the characteristics described, we can include:

  • <u>Temperate grasslands</u>
  • <u>Cold deserts</u>

The temperate grassland/cold desert biomes have:

  • cold and dry winters
  • hot, dry summers
  • Extended sunlight hours

This biome is very dry, and the harsh weather makes it difficult for plants to grow, leading to their <em>dry scrub</em> characteristic. This biome also experiences frequent wildfires due to the <u>intense sunlight and lack of rain to which it is exposed.</u>
