D. absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere by ocean water
Binary fission is for reproduction of a cell by division into two equals parts
Answer:
Glucose
Explanation:
The brain is an energy-hungry organ. Despite comprising only 2 percent of the body’s weight, the brain gobbles up more than 20 percent of daily energy intake. Because the brain demands such high amounts of energy, the foods we consume greatly affect brain function, including everything from learning and memory to emotions.
Just like other cells in the body, brain cells use a form of sugar called glucose to fuel cellular activities. This energy comes from the foods we consume daily and is regularly delivered to brain cells (called neurons) through the blood.
Studies suggest the quality of the foods consumed over a lifetime affects the structure and function of the brain. For instance, the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish provides structural material to maintain neurons. Studies also suggest omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the transmission of information between brain cells. In contrast, foods that are rich in sugars and saturated fats have been found to promote oxidative stress, which leads to damage to cell membranes.
The food you eat also affects molecules in the brain that support cognition. Some foods, such as those with turmeric, support cognition by helping to maintain molecular events related to energy metabolism.
Recent studies suggest lifestyle choices that affect the metabolism of nerve cells, such as diet and exercise, may in some cases provide a non-invasive and effective strategy to counteract neurological and cognitive disorders.
The answer is, cellular respiration. I hope I helped!
Okay so northern Africa and the Sahara desert is the best example of desertification.
2 ways humans have contributed to that is: 1) pastoral nomadism 2) little to no settlements to increase water supply
how it impacted the environment: so now the environment there is sandy, only organisms adapted for those extreme environment can live there ex. camel, cactus, etc.,
how it impacted quality of life: quality of life diminished, not enough water to sufficiently feed the populations, people live in extreme poverty, people are moving away, and the climate is very dry and hot, pretty much not a place anyone would want to live
