Can the effects of UV light on folate explain the full variation of human skin color that exists among human populations today?

Explain your reasoning
Biology
1 answer:
lisabon 2012 [21]2 years ago
5 0
The greater amount of eumelanin in darker skin protects folate from being broken down by UV radiation and thus increases fitness among populations in high-intensity UV areas. ... However, it does not explain why there is variation in human skin color.

What happens when potassium ions continue to enter into the neuron after generation of an action potential?
nadya68 [22]
As the action potential passes through, potassium channels stay open a little bit longer, and continue to let positive ions exit the neuron. This means that the cell temporarily hyperpolarizes, or gets even more negative than its resting state.

What is the purpose of the pericardial sac that surrounds the heart in mammals
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Pericardial sac has protective tole

Explanation:

Pericardial sac or pericardium is a fibrous tissue that surrounds the heart. It has two coats:

  1. the outter coat-parietal pericardium
  2. the inner coat-visceral pericardium or epicardium which is double-layered and contains pericardial fluid between those two layers (pericardial fluid is necessary as a lubricant for the heart movement).

Besides lubrication, percardium also protects heart from infections, fixes it and limits its movements.

Describe three physical characteristics of monerans?
PtichkaEL [24]
No Nucleus

All members of the kingdom Monera have no nuclei in their cells. All genetic material in moneran cells floats loose in the cytoplasm. In fact, the only parts of the cell that exist in a moneran are the cell wall and the ribosomes. Moneran cell walls are made of peptidoglycan. This is the case for all monerans except for archaebacteria. Monerans also move about using flagella.

Digestion

Monerans digest their food outside of the cell and then absorb the nutrients. Different monerans, however, digest their food in a variety of ways. Some simply generate their own food by making their organic compounds. Others need to feed off of other organic matter, such as decaying material. Some monerans are parasites that feed off of a host and others create a symbiotic relationship with another organism. According to Thinkquest.com, monerans are separated into different classifications by how they feed.

Other Characteristics

Monerans reproduce by both sexual conjugation or asexual binary fission. Circulation is done by diffusion, which is similar to the way they digest. Monerans all breathe differently. Some cannot survive without oxygen while some die if exposed to oxygen. Monerans come in three different shapes: spiral, rod-shaped or spherical. In order to protect themselves, most Monerans are surrounded by a capsule of polysaccharides that keeps them from drying out and acts as protection against other harmful cells.
