Answer: Soil moisture and fertility

Cheat grass is likely to decrease the soil moisture of the region, thus rendering the soil infertile and unfit for other plants growth.

Explanation:

Cheatgrass is an exotic weed native to Europe, West Asia and Northern Africa. Cheatgrasses outcompeted native vegetation as a result of large number of livestocks like cattle and sheep into sagebrush region. The livestocks overgrazed on native vegetation, which resulted to a void filled rapidly by Cheatgrass.

Cheatgrass grows on pastures, hills, and ranges. Wildfires promote more Cheatgrass but destroy native plants vegetation. Cheatgrass can survive drought due to deep root system they possess. The deep root system make the plant to grow and flourish with even small amount of water. Its deep root system reduce soil moisture and deplete soil fertility, preventing the growth of other plants. Also, Cheatgrass is self germinating and require les soil to grow. All these attributes that favor Cheatgrass have threatened native plants such as sagebrush plants and woodlands.

saw5 [17]

The answers are A, B, & C. Steroid hormones have a longer half-life than peptide hormones because steroid hormones ride on carrier proteins in the blood.  In other words, they are bound to protein carriers that transport molecules across the membrane.  They can also be stored temporarily in the adipose tissue. And also, steroid hormones are sent to the nucleus where it regulates transcription while peptides don’t require this process. This is the reason why the effects of steroid hormones are exerted more slowly than peptides.

Wittaler [7]

Answer: The correct answer is A) It stores the energy from the glucose in the bonds between the phosphate groups.

ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) is considered as a form of chemical energy as the energy is stored in the high energy phosphoanhydride bonds, which are present between phosphate.

Whenever a body requires energy, glucose is metabolized and produces ATP. The energy from glucose molecule is stored in the ATP.

When ATP is hydrolyzed, it is converted into ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate and the large amount of energy is released.
