In the northern hemisphere, when does the phytoplankton biomass peak in the polar region? why?

1 answer:

7 0

Given what we know about phytoplankton biomass peaks in the polar region of the northern hemisphere, we can confirm that this occurs in the spring.

As the polar regions are tilted away from the sun, days there are short, sometimes these regions even enter month-long periods of darkness. Due to this, sunlight is not always strong enough to penetrate deep into the water.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the phytoplankton biomass peaks in the spring given that during this time the sun is high enough in the sky for sunlight to penetrate deep into the water and provide a food source for the plankton to thrive.

Choose the correct order of steps for the synthesis of Vitamin D.

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-

1. UV light strikes the skin and converts a steroid molecule into an inactive form of vitamin D.

2. Inactive vitamin D is transported to the liver where it is modified.

3. Vitamin D is activated under the influence of PTH.

4. Inactive, chemically altered vitamin D is transported to the kidneys.

Explanation:

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble metabolite which helps maintain the health of the bone by maintaining the calcium homeostasis.

The vitamin D is synthesized mainly in the liver and kidney from the biologically inactive precursor of vitamin D called ergocalciferol and Cholecalciferol.

The inactive vitamin is synthesized in the skin when the skin is exposed to UV rays. The UV rays convert the 7-dehydrocholesterol, a steroid molecule to Vitamin D3, This inactive vitamin is then transported to the liver where it is converted to 25-hydroxyvitamin D.

This vitamin D form is further metabolized in the kidney controlled and regulated by the Parathyroid glands.
