Answer:

The most likely cause is that the individual has been infected with Lyme disease.

Explanation:

Lyme disease is a disease transmitted by tick bites. Some ticks when biting an individual are stuck to the skin sucking blood indefinitely. The longer the tick is attached to the individual's skin, the greater the likelihood that the tick will transmit the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease.

The symptoms of this disease are very variable, but in general they are characterized as red spots on the skin, known as bull's eye, around the place where the individual was bitten, but the spots can appear in any region of the body. The individual may also have irritability, fever, body aches and malaise.

In C3 plants the conservation of water promotes _____.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Photorespiration

Explanation:

RuBisCo is the enzyme that catalyzes the first reaction of the Calvin cycle which in turn is a rate-limiting step. Photorespiration is the process during which the enzyme RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) catalyzes the reaction between oxygen and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 3-phosphoglycerate and 2-phosphoglycolate.

These two products are useless for the metabolism of cells. Photorespiration occurs since the RuBisCo enzyme has an affinity for both CO2 and oxygen. When CO2 is not available, as it occurs when plants close stomata during hot dry days to prevent water loss, photorespiration takes place. Therefore, stomatal closing in C3 plants to prevent water loss promotes photorespiration.

Write about how the group of rock layers in record a forme include tilting erosion and folding
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Most sedimentary rocks are formed in level layers. Therefore, the occurrence of tilted rock layers is evidence of mountain building. ... Tilting can also result when rocks are pushed upward, or uplifted. In some areas of the world, rock layers are so severely tilted that they may be bottom side up. Layered rocks form when particles settle from water or air. Steno's Law of Original Horizontality states that most sediments, when originally formed, were laid down horizontally. ... Rock layers are also called strata (the plural form of the Latin word stratum), and stratigraphy is the science of strata.
