Taking only vitamin D into consideration, what would happen to the reproductive success of:

Biology
1 answer:
icang [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The reproductive success of these people would be:

A) lower.

B) higher.

C) higher.

D) lower.

Explanation:

Vitamin D is a type of secosteroid and its synthesis in the epidermis is dependent on sun exposure (UVB radiation). This vitamin is key to have normal growth and to properly absorb calcium, magnesium, and phosphate.

Melanin, on the other end, is a natural pigment also found on skin that is responsible for our skin color and protects our bodies from UVB radiation damage. On people with darker skin tones, the higher levels of melanin hinder Vitamin D synthesis since it acts as a natural protector against the sun.

For this reason, light-skinned people (low melanin levels, high vitamin D synthesis) live better in the poles, where they can absorb limited UV because of the weaker sunlight. Dark-skinned people are better off living in regions with the stronger sunlight, like the tropics.

Describe two typical applications for each of the following types of microscope
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A.Transmission electron microscopes are a versatile tool for many fields, including medicine, biology, nanotechnology, metallurgy, forensics, electronics, material science, and much more. A biologist might use a TEM to look at the internal structure of a cell.

b. Industries including microelectronics, semiconductors, medical devices, general manufacturing, insurance and litigation support, and food processing, all use scanning electron microscopy as a way to examine the surface composition of components and products.

c.Brightfield Microscope is used in several fields, from basic biology to understanding cell structures in cell Biology, Microbiology, Bacteriology to visualizing parasitic organisms in Parasitology. Most of the specimens to viewed are stained using special staining to enable visualization.

d.A dissecting microscope is used to view three-dimensional objects and larger specimens, with a maximum magnification of 100x. This type of microscope might be used to study external features on an object or to examine structures not easily mounted onto flat slides.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

The correct answer will be

1. Inversion

2. 20-25 minutes

Explanation:

The injuries of the ligaments of the ankle are common among athletes like the anterior tibiofibular ligament sprain (AFTL) or calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) which are caused by the inversion of the flexed foot.

These cases of ankle sprains are treated with the rest and applying ice to the injured area for approximately 20-25 minutes repeated for  3-4 times per day.

Thus, Inversion and 20-25 minutes are the correct answer.
