The phrase “When it pours, the desert stores” refers that deserts have underground water reserves, so when it rains the desert stores water.

<h3>Is there water in the Sahara Desert?</h3>

Recently, a large amount of groundwater was identified in North Africa in the Sahara desert region, but at high depths that make it difficult for the poor population of the region to exploit it.

With this information, we can conclude that the phrase “When it pours, the desert stores” refers that deserts have underground water reserves, so when it rains the desert stores water.

The phrase refers to the water-storage abilities of desert plant species.

<h3>Adaptation for water storage</h3>

Desert plants such as cactus are well-adapted to store water for long-term usage when water is available.

This ability makes desert species to be able to withstand drought. The reserved water is utilized when water availability reduces or ceases totally.

Thus, when it rains, the desert species store water.

What is the goal of the pentose phosphate pathway, explain.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: Pentose phosphate pathway produces ribose-5-phosphate sugars that are used in the production of DNA and RNA molecules.

Explanation: Pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol like glycolysis, with its end products being ribose-5-phosphate sugars and NADH used in production of RNA and DNA.

Difference between these pathways are that the pentose phosphate is anabolic. It uses alot of energy, NADPH and ATP for building. Unlike glycolysis its primary function is not energy production, which on the other hand glycolysis is catabolic, primarily leading to the the production of energy.

What type of immunity provides lifetime immunity for the body against a specific pathogen?
Tems11 [23]


The type of immunity that provides lifetime immunity for the body against a specific pathogen is called  acquired immunity.  It is also referred to as adaptive or specific immunity.

Acquired  immunity is not present at  birth. it is learned. As a person's immune system encounters foreign substances (antigens) the components of acquired immunity learn the best way to attack each antigen and begin to develop a memory for that antigen. Acquired immunity is also called specific immunity because it tailors its attack to a specific antigen previously encountered. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to learn, adapt and remember.

Acquired immunity takes time to develop after first exposure to a new antigen. However afterward, the antigen is remembered, and subsequent responses to that antigen are quicker and more effective than those that occurred after first exposure. Memory of a particular antigen is kept by the B and T lymphocytes.

1.Describe at least one societal issue that scientists will be able to address using the sequence of the human genome.
satela [25.4K]
<span>There are so many societal issue that scientists will be able to address using the sequence of the human genome. For example, health epidemics. Using the genome, scientists can easily found how a pathogen affects a population and search for genes that can inhibit the pathogen. But no all health epidemics are caused by a pathogen. The obesity, nowadays a social health issue in so many countries, is an epidemic that can be address using the human genome. Also, the drug Abuse and Addiction. Scientific have found genes that are related to obesity and also genes related to drug addition. A person who have these genes is more likely to suffer those conditions. But, the discover of these genes and the disease relation help scientists to search for a better treatment.</span>
