Answer:

60,000 buffalo

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, I attached the options.

35,000

55,000

60,000

65,000

Buffalo numbers in the study area were estimated using total aerial photographic counts, the estimation was made it in Mara Serengeti ecosystem (25 000 km2), buffalos have other problems apart of bubonic plague, like climate change, competition, disease, food limitation, land-use change, predation.

Assume the population growth of Serengeti buffalo graph, before the rinderpest there was a capacity of 50,000 buffalos, but there was a bubonic plague epidemic, then two years and half, only there were a capacity less than 30,000.

After the virus was eliminated the graph show growth, in 6 years there were more than 60,000 buffalos, in more eleven-year, there were exactly 60,000 buffalos.

Which part of the cell theory do these results most support:

Vlad1618 [11]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2>

$\huge\textbf{Cell Theory}$

the Cell Theory was give by German scientists, Schleiden and T.Shwan in 1839. It stated that,

All organism are composed of one or more cells

The cell is the structural and functional unit of life
It is a de novo structure, that means it COULD arise from non living thing which was incorrect.

It was corrected by the German pathologist Rudolf Virchow in 1855. He made a convincing case, corrected and added the third point of the cell theory. It is,

Cells can arise only by a division of pre-existing cell. It is <u>NOT</u> a de novo structure.

Cell theory brought a great evolution in the field of biology which established the function of organism is the result of activities and interaction of the cell units.

$\huge\textbf{Question:}$

<u>Flask 1</u>: It is observed that there are no micro-organism, this is because the meat is sealed and no micro-organism could enter through it.
<u>Flask 2</u>: It is observed that there are micro-organism present because meat is not sealed but open.
<u>Flask 3</u>: As the S tube is used, the micro-organism are not able to reach the meat because of the curvy path

These observations support the point that<u> cells could arise only by a division of pre-existing alive cells</u> because in Flask 1 when there were no micro-organism present so there was no organisms found so no micro-organism arised, In flask 3 the S tube was used so no micro-organism could reach the meat thus there were no organism there which could divide to reproduce. The flask 2 was open, so the micro organisms reached the meat so they divided which means Cells can only arise by a division of pre-existing cells.

Ketone bodies, the byproduct of fat metabolism, if found in the urine can be indicative of what life threatening disorder?

Ugo [173]

Answer:

uncontrolled 1 diabetes mellitus.

Explanation:

Keto bodies elevation of the urine is due to:

1.non availability of glucose in the blood to be used by the cells for biochemical activities,

GLUCOSE can not enter cells because of absence of INSULIN hormone which moderate GLUT TRANSPORTERS 1 and 4 for entry of glucose into cells in induvidual with Type 1 diabetes.

TYPE 1 diabetes is a condition where the pancreas beta cells refused to secret hormone insulin,therefore affecting the entry of glucose into cells. Leading to elevated blood glucose level,and loss in the urine (Hypoglycemia from polyuria(too much urination.)Because the primary function of insulin is to facilitate the uptake of glucose into cells.

In this induvidual the liver converted excess tryglycerides to glucose in a process called GLUCONEOGENESIS(. The prouction of glucose from non carbohydrate compounds.)

The metabolized lipids leads to build up of byproduct ketone bodies in the blood.This produce ketosis and later progress to Ketoacidosis or metabolic acidosis

Organism that need to eat to get nutrients

ss7ja [257]

Plants and other autotrophs absorb nutrients from soil and water. Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food. The most important nutrients they need are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Other nutrients needed by plants are nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.
