saveliy_v [14]3 years ago

Ferromagnesian minerals are minerals that have iron or magnesium in their structure. The greater specific gravity is between 3.2 and 3.6. Some examples are pyroxene, biotite, garnet, and olvine.

Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite. Common mafic rocks include basalt, diabase and gabbro. Mafic rocks often also contain calcium-rich varieties of plagioclase feldspar.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase:_______.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A. Will only phosphorylate glycogen synthase (GS) after GS has been phosphorylated by casein kinase.

Explanation:

Glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) is a type of enzyme capable of phosphorylating serine and threonine residues on the glycogen synthase (GS). The insulin hormone activates the synthesis of glycogen by dephosphorylating GS, but it is a mechanism that depends on the previous phosphorylation of GS by Casein Kinase (CK). GSK is also known to phosphorylate the insulin receptor (IRS), and thus controlling glucose metabolism.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

- Organism A is most likely a herbivore

- Organism B is most likey a carnivore

Explanation:

Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.

- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.

Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.

- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.

How does the structure of the gills allow for the production of so many spores?
prohojiy [21]
In gilled mushrooms, gills are used to maximize spore production. Gills of some mushrooms are folded and crowded to obtain maximum spore production. Other gills, spread towards the outer cap which gives way to new gill growth in between gills which is called partial gill. Some of the mushrooms grow gills in layers too.
