<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The level of carbon dioxide in the now is 386 \ ppm</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is given that carbon dioxide at the beginning of industrial revolution is 280 \ ppm. It then increased by 38%.

\frac {final level-initial level}{initial level} \times 100=38

final \ level = 38/100 \ initial\ level+initial\ level

=\frac{38}{100} \times 280 + 280=386 ppm

<em>Thus the current amount of carbon dioxide is 386.4  \ ppm.</em>

Increasing carbon dioxide level is a growing concern. It is a result of industrialization and urbanization which has serious consequences. Increased level of carbon dioxide accelerates global warming and it increases the temperature of earth.

How does loseing laforin give you epilepsy ( please use lots of detail in the answer)
Deffense [45]
<span>Lafora disease is the most severe teenage-onset progressive epilepsy, a unique form of glycogenosis with perikaryal accumulation of an abnormal form of glycogen, and a neurodegenerative disorder exhibiting an unusual generalized organellar disintegration. The disease is caused by mutations of the EPM2A gene, which encodes two isoforms of the laforin protein tyrosine phosphatase, having alternate carboxyl termini, one localized in the cytoplasm (endoplasmic reticulum) and the other in the nucleus. To date, all documented disease mutations, including the knockout mouse model deletion, have been in the segment of the protein common to both isoforms. It is therefore not known whether dysfunction of the cytoplasmic, nuclear, or both isoforms leads to the disease. In the present work, we identify six novel mutations, one of which, c.950insT (Q319fs), is the first mutation specific to the cytoplasmic laforin isoform, implicating this isoform in disease pathogenesis. To confirm this mutation's deleterious effect on laforin, we studied the resultant protein's subcellular localization and function and show a drastic reduction in its phosphatase activity, despite maintenance of its location at the endoplasmic reticulum.

Eddi Din [679]
Think where mitochondria are found in the greatest numbers - they are found (for example) in liver cells, kidney cells, muscle cells etc. These tissues carry out a lot of work and thus require lots of energy. 

<span>Fat is a storage product that sits there until required but the thyroid does lots of work involved in metabolism and therefore requires plenty of energy.


This should help :)
