In the past several years we have seen increased numbers of forest fires occurring in our tropical rainforests. While natural bu

rns are usually beneficial and a typical occurrence in forests, tropical rainforests do not typically undergo this natural process due to the average yearly amount of rainfall. This causes habitat loss and ecosystem disruption for the rainforest.
The increased occurrence of tropical rainforest fires is most likely caused by..
Select one:

Decreased tourism and human visitors to the area.

Increased precipitation rates in the southern hemisphere

Decreased production of oxygen, which helps fuel natural fires.

Increased global temperatures, leading to a 20% reduction in rainfall

Answer:

Increased global temperatures, leading to a 20% reduction in rainfall

Explanation:

According to this question, forest fires are becoming rampant in tropical rainforests. Although this occurrence is natural, tropical rainforests do not typically undergo this natural process due to the average yearly amount of rainfall. This means that the high amount of rainfall in tropical rainforests help prevent or reduce the high cases of forest fire incidence.

However, the recent increased occurrence of tropical rainforest fires is most likely attributed to an INCREASE IN GLOBAL TEMPERATURES, LEADING TO A 20% REDUCTION IN RAINFALL. This is because an increase in the global atmospheric temperature causes the reduction of the amount of rainfall, which naturally helps curb the occurrence of forest fires.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to incre
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

1) intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters

2) high amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas

3) binding of hormones with receptors on the liver

4) release of hormones from the receptors

5) synthesis of hormones by beta cells

Explanation:

During ingestion of the meal, insulin is produced in response to high blood glucose levels (concentration of glucose increases after digestion of food). Like other hormones, insulin performed its action through binding specific signals to specific receptors e.g, liver, muscle cells.  The high glucose level in the blood send signals through hormones to liver, fat, and muscle cell receptors. These receptors release specific hormones to beta cells of the pancreas. In response to the signals from receptors, beta cells synthesize insulin to minimize glucose levels in the bloodstream.
