The Upper Midwest, because of its numerous shallow lakes and marshes, rich soils, and warm summers, is described as being one of

the most important wetland regions in the world. The area is home to more than 50% of North American migratory waterfowl, with many species dependent on the potholes for breeding and feeding. In addition to supporting waterfowl hunting and birding, prairie potholes also absorb surges of rain, snow melt, and floodwaters thereby reducing the risk and severity of downstream flooding. Statewide, elevated levels of phosphorus have been found in 31% of our “prairie pothole” wetlands, negatively affecting the insects, snails, and leeches that live there. How has this elevation in phosphorous LIKELY impacted the biodiversity of the prairie potholes in Minnesota?

Which of the following is NOT one of the Nervous System Functions?. Single choice.
Neko [114]

Answer:

4. Absorb extra fluid between the cells

Explanation:

The nervous system (SN) is a complex system that acts to receive sensory information through nerves, transmit this information via the spinal cord and finally process it in the brain. The SN has three main roles: sensory input, processing and motor output. The SN can be divided into the central nervous system (composed of the brain and spinal cord), and the peripheral nervous system (composed of those nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord). Moreover, the extracellular fluid between the cells comprises four types of fluids: 1-intravascular fluid (blood), 2-interstitial fluid, 3--transcellular fluid and 4-cerebrospinal fluid. The excess of these fluids is absorbed by the capillaries of the lymphatic system.

Hey y'all I need help with this bio question: what are the pros and cons of different skin tones in different parts of the world
d1i1m1o1n [39]
Oh this one is so cool!

It basically all boils down to Vitamin D! We need this essential vitamin to help our body build hormones and regulate calcium. Our bodies make Vitamin D when we are exposed to the UV rays found in sunlight. But as we all know, too much sunlight isn’t good because these UV rays can harm us. Melanin (the chemical that our bodies produce to darken skin tone and hair color) provides protection from UV rays by absorbing them. However, this means that the more melanin that is produced by someone’s body results in less absorption of UV rays and a decrease in Vitamin D production. But for someone living around the equator or in the tropics that doesn’t matter because there’s lots of sun all the time. So for humans living in these areas where there’s lots of sunlight year round, it’s beneficial to have darker skin to protect from the harm of UV rays. People living in these areas still get plenty of Vitamin D though because of that year round sunshine.

Now what about those who’s skin has less melanin, such as those found in the higher latitudes? Well with less sunlight year round, their bodies had to adapt to be able to get enough Vitamin D. So less melanin is produced by the body in order to absorb the lesser amounts of UV rays to make Vitamin D. Lighter skin is, therefore, more beneficial the farther away you go from the tropics.

So essentially:
Pro of Darker Skin tones
-Protection from harmful UV rays

Con of Darker Skin tones
-Less absorption of UV rays and less production of Vitamin D

Pro of Lighter Skin tones
-Greater absorption of UV rays and more Vitamin D production

Con of Lighter Skin tones
-Less protection from harmful UV rays (resulting in sunburns and, in extreme cases, skin cancer)

This is of course the biology answer. The social impacts of different skin tones is a whole different story that you can ask in the history section.

The____ is the section of the rainforest that is too dark for most plant life.(write response, no opinion choices)
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Forest floor

Explanation:

Tropical rainforest is characterized by high rainfall that allows a diverse growth of plant species. The different species of plants and animals species that make up a rainforest are found in different layers. There are four layers or sections in the rainforest from top to bottom viz: emergent layer, canopy, understory and forest floor.

Since the layers are classified from top to bottom, each layer receives different amount of rainfall and sunlight. According to the question, the FOREST FLOOR receives the least amount of sunlight making it the darkest section of the rainforest. Due to the inhibited penetration of sunlight into this layer, it usually does not support any plant growth.
