Why is it important to prevent gorillas from becoming extinct?

1 answer:

3 0

Gorillas are a predator. They eat food and rarely ever get killed for food. But if we take away their habitat by making buildings and houses then they will die for other causes like hunger. If the gorillas go extinct then the food change will get all messed up. The food they normally eat will over populate meaning the food gorillas eat (like fruit) will over populates and take over the area. That means it will start to take up the space that other plants need to grow. The other plants that other animals will need to eat will slowly start moving away because their food is dying. They will start to go somewhere else and mess up that habitat too. Those animals will eat the food needed by the animals that lived there originally and food will become scarce for animals that all need the same type of resources.

When an animal confronts a "fight-or-flight" situation, the release of epinephrine promotes glycogen breakdown in the liver, hea

nika2105 [10]

Answer: and Explanation:

A.)The reason for the different products of glycogen breakdown in the two tissues is that glucose 6-phosphotase which is

a known enzyme that brings about hydrolysis of glucose 6-phosphate as a result of the creation of a phosphate group and free glucose is not available in heart and skeletal muscle, therefore,any glucose 6-phosphotase that is produced will just enters the glycolytic pathway and get converted to lactate through pyruvate, in the absence of Oxygen O2.

B) Whenever a situation involving fight or flight arises, the concentration of glycolytic precursors becomes high in order to prepare for muscular activity. Since the membrane is impermeable to any charged species, and at the same time glucose 6-phosphotase enzyme cannot be moved through the glucose transporter, then there cannot be a release of Phosphorylated intermediates from the cell. The blood glucose level must be maintained by the liver by releasing of glucose.

glucose that is later formed from glucose 6-phosphotase then enters the bloodstream.

chambers A and B are placed next to each other but are separated by a film permeable to both glucose and fructose. chambers A co

Molodets [167]

Answer:

2.glucose move into chamber B faster than fructose

Explanation:

Facilitated diffusion: refers to the transport of hydrophilic molecules that are not able to freely cross the membrane. Channel protein and many carrier proteins are in charge of this <u>passive transport</u>. If uncharged molecules need to be carried <u>this process depends on concentration gradients</u> and molecules are transported from a higher concentration side to a lower concentration side. If ions need to be transported this process depends on an electrochemical gradient. The glucose is an example of a hydrophilic protein that gets into the cell by facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is a passive transport process because the cell does not need any energy to make it happen.

The exposed scenario is an example of facilitated diffusion, a process that occurs in favor of the concentration gradient, and which rate depends on the concentration of molecules in each side of the membrane, in this case, glucose and fructose, among other factors that might also influence the diffusion rate. So, as the concentration of glucose is higher in chamber A (80%), and lower in chamber B (20%), in comparison with fructose, the first one will diffuse faster than fructose. The difference in concentration between both chambers is sharper in glucose, so its transport is faster than the fructose transport, which will also diffuse but at a lower rate.

mel-nik [20]

True:

Advantages. PWR reactors are verystable due to their tendency toproduce less power as temperatures increase; this makes the reactor easier to operate from a stability standpoint. PWR turbine cycle loop is separate from the primary loop, so the water in the secondary loop is not contaminated by radioactive materials.

Do you think true water-conducting tissue is a derived character of either embryophytes or green algae? Why or why not?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

i think true water-conducting tissue is a derived character of green algae?

Explanation:

WHY?

Many characteristics of land plants also appear in algae like both are multi cellular, euks, photosynthetic autotrophs so are brown, red, and certain green algae, plants have cell walls made of cellulose and so do green algae

However, charophytes are the only present day algae that share these traits with land plants

1.Rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins (circular rings of proteins in plasma membrane that make cellulose of cell wall)

2.Structure of flagellated sperm

3.Formation of a phragmoplast ( group of microtubules known as phragmoplast formes b/t daughter nuclei of a dividing cell, giving rise to a cell plate making cross wall that separates the daughter cells)

Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplast genes point to charophytes as the closest living relatives of land plants

Land plants are not descended from modern charophytes, but share a common ancestor with modern charophytes

WHY NOT?

The origin of embryophytes, as these multicellular plants arose and conquered the land, was a pivotal event in the history of life on earth. Without embryophytes, there would be no animals or humans surviving on the land portion of our planet. The provide food, habitat, energy, oxygen, protection, and numerous vital other functions for the world's creatures. Human beings also benefit from the aesthetic beauty, medicines, and innumerable products derived from these diverse plants.
