The 117th Christmas Bird Count is now over. As usual in January, I will discuss the highlights of some of the Maine counts. These standardized censuses provide an important tool to monitor the abundance of winter birds throughout North America and beyond.
I’ll concentrate on changes in regularly wintering birds, the arrival of unpredictable invaders and records of lingering birds whose wintering areas are well to our south. A rarity or two may pop up as well.
We’ll start with the southern Maine coast. The York County count was held on Dec. 21. Thirty observers found 82 species of birds.
Answer:
Plants produce oxygen gas and glucose molecule during the process of photosynthesis by absorbing radiation of the sun.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a process in which glucose and oxygen are produced by the combination of carbondioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. Carbondioxode is taken in the leaves through stomata and water is absorbed by the plant from the soil. When these two substances combine in the presence of sunlight produces glucose and oxygen.
The asnswer is 2DG also known as 2-Deoxy-D-glucose. 2DG is a glucose molecule that has the
2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen, so that it cannot undergo further
glycolysis. As such; it acts to competitively inhibit the production of
glucose-6-phosphate from glucose at the phosphoglucoisomerase level (step 2 of
glycolysis).
Answer:
In mammals, oxygen is carried through the red blood cells called hemoglobin. The reason is that the oxygen is very important for the cell for releasing energy. This energy is used by the cell in different processes.
2) These adaptations are adapted by the organisms in order to perform different functions. In slow twitch skeletal muscles having high number of mitochondria because it requires more energy while fast twitch skeletal muscles contains less amount of mitochondria due to low requirements of energy. These characteristics are adapted according to the performance of the body parts.
