Answer:
Introduction on Argentinian Red And, <em>Solenopsis invicta</em>, in the United States.
Explanation:
A species is considered to be introduced when it has been released intentionally or accidentally in a new place or area, out of its natural geographical distribution range, during historical times.
The, Argentinian Red Ant, Solenopsis invicta was introduced by accident in the United States in the 1930 year when some commercial ship coming from Brazil unloaded infested merchandise. Since that date, it has been colonizing several areas, expanding in a range of 30 to 50 kilometers per year. Nowadays it is occupying more than 110 million hectares, causing several problems:
- Biological problems: It is a very aggressive species that can <em>affect animals and plants</em>. In Texas, the <em>invertebrates' biodiversity decreased by 40% and the local ants decreased by 70%.</em> Their nests' building affects the roots of plants causing important <em>harvest losses</em>.
- Economical problems: The United States government has expended more than 250 million dollars trying to solve the problem, while the yearly losses exceed 1,000 dollars. The harvest losses have causes an important decrease in production.
- Sanitary problems: These ants might be considered dangerous as they have attacked people and animals. Texas invests 750,000 dollars a year to treat wounds in cattle and other affected animals.
There are some steps to prevent and reduce biological invasions, such as introduction prevention, eradication <em>when it is still possible</em>, contention to <em>avoid the species expansion</em>, expansion control (biological, mechanical, chemical), and restoration of the affected areas.
In the case of the Red Ant it would have been very important to control the state of the merchandise coming from Brazil to avoid the ant's introduction and its posterior spread. It also would have been important to deal harder with the problem when it was recently to avoid the ants' expansion by educating the people about invasive species and how to react about it, and by applying some eradication actions when it was possible. Nowadays the species is under control, but they can not completely eradicate it.
Answer: 5… I think
Explanation: sorry if I’m wrong.
Answer:
Decrease
Explanation:
Paraquat can induce alterations in endoplasmic reticulum that might contribute to the changes in glucose-6-phosphatase activity, resulting in an increase of blood glucose level and/or all the effects can be attributed to a high level of circulating epinephrine produced by paraquat toxicosis. Paraquat induces mitochondrial dysfunction and ATP depletion in brain tissues or cultured cells (54,62). Therefore, our in vivo findings of ATP depletion would be a contributory factor for the observed proteasome dysfunction. The two reactions use carrier molecules to transport the energy from one to the other. The lower energy form, NADP+, picks up a high energy electron and a proton and is converted to NADPH. When NADPH gives up its electron, it is converted back to NADP+
Answer:
competition
Explanation:
After an ecosystem has been destroyed because of certain catastrophe and all of the space that it occupied is totally cleared and open for overtaking, the primary succession comes in action. When the primary succession occurs, there's no competition, as pretty much everything has been destroyed from the previously existing ecosystem. The pioneers of the primary succession are organisms that do not require a lot to prosper, such as the mosses and lichens. As they start to cover the barren land, little by little they manage to change the composition of the rocks, thus resulting in the formation of the first soils. As that happens, the secondary succession comes on the horizon as now it has conditions for it, so the species from it overtake and replace the species form the primary succession.
Answer:
High diastolic pressure can leads to kidney damage, vision less and chronic renal failure.
Explanation:
Diastolic pressure may be defined as the blood pressure in the arteries when the heart is completely filled. When the blood pressure is measured the lower value of blood pressure indicates the diastolic blood pressure.
Different problems associated with high diastolic pressure are:
Kidney damage: The high blood pressure can cause the narrow areteies around the kidney and may result in kidney damage.
Vision less: The blood vessel may damage in high diastolic pressure that may hinder the blood flow in the retina and results in vision less.
Chronic renal failure: High diastolic pressure damages the renal artery and causes chronic renal failure in an individual.
