What adaptations of the wild yak enable it to survive in the alpine biome?

The alpine biome is one of the coldest biomes on the planet, it is generally because of the high altitudes. The summer temperature varies in between -12 to 10 degree Celsius, and the average precipitation in the biome is about 30 cm in a year.  

The animals living in the region, adapt to the cold by migrating to warmer regions, hibernating, or insulating their bodies with the help of fat and fur layers. Their bodies seem to possess shorter tails, legs, and ears, in order to minimize the loss of heat.  

One of the animals living in the alpine biome is the wild yak, the animal has adapted to the biome with the help of dense and wooly coats, specially amended feet, horns to dig for food, and if necessary does the migration in winter times to the warmer regions.

The advantage of excreting nitrogenous wastes as urea instead of ammonia is that:________ a) urea requires more water for excret
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer: B

Explanation:

Ammonia is so toxic that it can be transported and excreted only in large volumes of very dilute solution. As a result most terrestrial animals simply don't have access to sufficient water to routine excrete ammonia.

The main advantage of urea is its very low toxicity. Animals can transport urea in the circulatory system and store it safely in high concentrations. Also much less water is loss when a given quantity of nitrogen is excreted in a concentrated solution of urea than would be in a dilute solution of ammonia.

Glycolysis is an example of a metabolic pathway that is utilized by all human body tissues. Other pathways are much more promine
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

1. Liver

2. Liver and Kidneys

3. Mitochondria

4. Lumen of the small intestines

5. Liver

Explanation:

1. Glucose is phosphorylated into glucose-6-phosphate which is the first step of both glycogen synthesis and glycolysis, this process occurs in the liver

2.   Glucose 6-phosphate is a product of a process named gluconeogenesis which occurs in the liver it serves as a substrate for glucose-6-phosphatase in the liver.

3. Creatinine kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of creatine. In regeneration process of ATP, creatine phosphate transfers a high-energy phosphate to ADP which produces ATP and creatine

4. Initially lipase digestion lipase digestion happens in the small intestine where the bile salts reduce the surface tension of the fat droplets allowing the lipases to attack the triglyceride molecules. These molecules are taken up into the epithelial cells that line the intestinal wall, where they are resynthesized into triglyceride

5. The job of the liver is to produce ketone bodies. If the liver had this enzyme, the ketone bodies it produces would be immediately broken down by the liver before they are released, thereofore, no release of ketone bodies into the bloodstream

Based on the information in the graph, which blood type is most likely to be in shortest supply during an emergency?
Maksim231197 [3]
While there is no graph provided and I cannot find the graph online, I will base my answer through theory. 

In theory, the most common blood type is O+, followed by A+, then B+, then AB+. Rh negative blood is deemed to be rare. While the most common blood type is O+, the same blood type is also called the "universal donor" as a type O+ blood has no antigens attached in red blood cells therefore the probability of adverse reactions (i.e. hemolytic reactions) when transfused to other blood types are close to nil. In an emergency situation, wherein there is not enough time to do proper crossmatching, blood type O+ can be used therefore supplies of blood type O+ are easily depleted.

12) A team of archaeologists excavating a sedimentary rock layer come across some primitive hunting tools used by early humans. As the dig progresses, they unearth the fossilized remains of a dinosaur from another layer of the sedimentary rock. Why do these discoveries indicate that the rocks were formed over millions of years?
