What variations do we see in forest types

Biology
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
6 0

There are multiple different forest types on the planet, all of them with their own unique characteristics creating a certain forest ecosystem.

The tropical forests are evergreen, so are the boreal forests, but the temperate forests shade their leaves each autumn and grow them again in the spring. The tropical forests are fully active all year around, the boreal despite being green all the time are not active for big portion of the year, while the temperate forests are active from the end of the winter until mid autumn. The tropical forests create a lot of material for decomposition thus making the top part of the soil very fertile, the boreal forests do not create a lot of material for decomposition but instead very little which makes the soil relatively poor, and the temperate forests create a lot of material for decomposition especially in the autumn when they shed their leaves, thus contributing to very fertile top layer of the soil. The tropical forests have enormous biodiversity, the boreal forests are very monotonous and have very little biodiversity, while the temperate forests are kind of in between with medium level of biodiversity.

Sugars are used for energy and what else??
skad [1K]

Answer:

The body uses sugars from carbohydrates which supply the brain with glucose as the brain uses it as a "fuel source".

<h2>Why is glucose so important for the brain?</h2>

Quick answer: It takes a lot of energy to receive, interpret, and send signals via your neurons. Glucose is the simples sugar that can be used to make energy.

Cells require energy to carry out their typical everyday tasks. The simplest sugar that our cells can utilize for energy is glucose. Since your neurons are specialized cells, many additional cells are also present to support or protect them. All of the senses you can experience utilizing incoming neurons (from the body to the brain) are transmitted to and interpreted by the brain, including touch, pain, vibration, temperature, smell, sight, hearing, taste, and others. Signal reception and interpretation need energy. Additionally, your brain instructs your body to "do" things, which uses energy. Additionally, you spend a significant portion of your waking hours "thinking," which consumes energy. This explains why 20% of the glucose in your body is used by our teeny, tiny, little brains.

Thank you,

Can you cry underwater?<br> Is it possible I need full explanation <br> Thanks I’ll give brainliest
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer however is yes you can, but you would probably die. The body mechanism for crying under water works just as fine above as below the water. So you can cry tears, they would just be mixed with the rest of the water.
