In many parts of the world, the average age of reproductive maturity is increasing as humans move from urban to rural environmen
ts. Suppose that the current average age of first reproduction is 15 years old in India and 20 years old in France. How would a 5-year increase in the average age of reproduction in both countries be expected to affect the per capita birth rate, and would this effect be greater in France or in India
A 5-year increase in the average age of reproduction in both countries i.e. France and India, it will greatly affected the per capita birth rate of both countries but higher in France because the average age of reproduction is higher in France as compared to India. The average age of first reproduction is 15 years old in India and 20 years old in France but with the increase of 5 years, the average age of first reproduction is 20 years old in India and 25 years old in France.
The rod and cone cells in our eyes are one of our major senses. This is the sense of sight. The taste buds in our tongues are another one of our major senses. This is the sense of taste.
<u>Enzyme</u> is a protein that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being permanently changed. <em><u>Enzymes are biological catalysts that catalyze biochemical reactions and remain unchanged after the reaction.</u></em>
The shape of the enzyme provides a pocket called the <u>active site</u>,which allows the <u>substrate</u> to temporarily attach.
<em><u>Substrate is the molecule that is acted on by the enzyme. Enzyme are substrate specific, therefore an enzyme will act on a specific substrate that can fit on its active site.</u></em>
The product is the result of the enzyme catalysis. After catalysis the substrate is converted to a product and the enzyme remains unchanged.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is synthesized in the hypothalamus and is stored and released in blood by the posterior pituitary gland in response to reduced blood volume and dehydration. ADH stimulates water reabsorption at the collecting duct of nephrons to reduce the loss of water in urine. The presence of diluted blood (more water/fluid part) due to overconsumption of alcohol would inhibit the release of ADH. The kidneys will produce dilute urine and would remove the excess of water from the blood in the form of urine. The loss of water from the body would cause dehydration.
