Georgia’s Coastal Plains region includes about 60% of the state. Long ago this area was part of the Atlantic Ocean and completel

y covered by water. A unique wetland feature of the Southeastern Coastal Plain is the Carolina Bay. Carolina Bays are oval shaped wetlands found from Maryland south to Georgia. Some support permanent lakes while others experience more irregular water levels. Carolina Bays range from 6 to 30 feet deep and from several acres to 6,000 acres in size. Due to varying water levels, the vegetation differs dramatically from one Bay to another. Some are characterized by cypress forests, others marsh and some shrub bogs. Georgia is home to more than 1,000 Carolina Bays, covering 250,000 acres.
Carolina Bays along with cypress and gum ponds are important inland wetlands that provide habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. Carolina Bays tend to have some peat development, which is a layer of partially decomposed plant matter. Several Georgia Bays have peat deposits over 14 feet deep, the end product of about 9,000 years of plant decomposition and periodically, these peat deposits catch fire and burn usually about every 25 years. This fire plays an important role in the maintenance of Carolina Bays. How?
A) The fires keep the Carolina Bay habitat from becoming overgrown with vegetation.
B) The fires in the Carolina Bays help to dissipate dangerous chemicals dissolved in the groundwater.
C) The fires in the Carolina Bay areas drive out invasive animal species that out-compete native species.
D) The fires throughout the Carolina Bays help to keep the plant species consistent throughout the states.

Answer:

A) The fires keep the Carolina Bay habitat from becoming overgrown with vegetation.

Explanation:

Peat is an organic material consisting of elements from the decomposition of plants. This material is brown in color (dark or light depending on the type) and is very rich in charcoal. Its nature depends on the environmental conditions present in its formation. It is mainly used in gardening as part of the substrate, but is also beneficial in natural environments as it promotes soil protection, organic matter supply, higher water porosity and higher soil retention. However, it is important that from time to time excess peat be removed from natural environments, otherwise peat can take over an entire space and leave a habitat overgrown. The removal of this excess peat is what explains the advantage of natural fires occurring in the Carolina Bay habitat, the advantage is that fires prevent the Carolina Bay habitat from being overgrown.

Aidan has had non stop diarrhea all day and is severely weakened. why is his nurse concerned?
Sveta_85 [38]
Diarrhea can be caused by indigestion, a raw meal, or little bacterias found in almost anything we swallow, but if it doesn´t stop in a 12 hours period, it may be caused by some infection or a worse condition that need to be seen by a doctor, is this case, the nurse is concerned because Aidan is severely weakened, signal that is dehydrating very fast and that could cause him a worse condition such as hypotension, hypoglycemy or even losing consciouness.

All of the cacti is removed from a desert ecosystem, what would happen to the population of cactus dwelling birds and in turn th
pishuonlain [190]

The population of cactus dwelling birds will decrease and that of the animal they eat will increase.

Explanation:

When cacti is removed from the desert ecosystem, the birds that have their nest on the cacti will no longer have a home so they will migrate to other areas with favorable ecosystem.This will reduce the number of birds in this ecosystem.In turn, the animals that were feed by the birds will have the chance to multiply in numbers because a predator has been removed in the ecosystem.

What is the relationship between Endomembrane System, Insulin and Insulin Receptor, activation by phosphorylation, membrane-boun
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The relationship between endomembrane system, insulin and insulin receptor, activation by phosphorylation, membrane-bound polyribosomes, and glucose transport channels is the eukariotic cell, because within it, they work together with the organelles to modify, summarize and transport lipids and proteins from the gut and absorb nutrients.

Explanation:

The Endomembrane system varies from membranes and organelles, but basically, it is structured by the nuclear envelope and lysosomes, the plasma membrane and several cytoplasmic organelles, as the ER, the Golgi apparatus, secretory granules, vesicles, lysosomes, endosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum all working together to transfer, modify and package lipids and proteins macromoecules to the eukaryotic cell, from one part of it  to another, and from in to the outside of it also.

The membrane bound polyribosomes are attached to the cell endoplasmic reticulum. The bound ribosomes, used within the cell membrane or expelled from the cell by exocytosis, will produce insulin and they will become membrane bound to control the intake, protein modifications, fusion lipids and sugar breakdown. The insulin is a membrane bound polyribosomes protein synthesized in the ER, which travels along the endomembrane system. This hormone controls glucose and lipid metabolism  or energy function, if glucose level is high, insulin synthesis is activated.  

Synthesized and traveling through the endomembrane system, the insulin gets to its receptor called tyrosine kinase and activates it, phosphorylating and recruiting different substrate adaptors.

 The brand new insulin polypeptide chains go directly into the endoplasmic reticulum by the ribosome and then transported to where they are needed as insulin regulates sugar uptake into adipose tissue and skeletal muscle through glucose transport channels or glucose transporters GLUT4 within vesicles, which are directed to the plasma membrane, this is also the gut and nutrient absorption.
