Compare salt marshes and mangrove forests and explain why mangrove forests are such critical habitats on high energy coasts.
Answer:
Explanation:Coastal wetlands in the southeastern U.S. provide many important ecosystem goods and services. In addition to supporting important fish and wildlife habitat, they maintain coastal fisheries, store carbon, improve water quality, protect coastlines, and provide recreational opportunities. In many ways, coastal wetlands are dynamic and resilient ecosystems; however, they are being subjected to tremendous environmental change at the regional (e.g., hydrologic alterations, nutrient enrichment) and global scale (e.g., climate change).
One aspect of global change that is expected to have a substantial impact on coastal wetlands is winter climate change. Salt marshes and mangrove forests are common coastal wetland ecosystem types that occupy similar estuarine environments but have different climatic tolerances. In warmer climates, mangrove trees often outcompete salt marsh grasses. However, mangrove forests are sensitive to freezing temperatures, and within the region, mangrove forests are currently found only in Florida, Louisiana, and Texas (though isolated individuals have been reported in Mississippi). Salt marshes are more dominant along colder coastlines where mangroves are not able to survive freeze events. Future climate change is expected to result in increased winter temperatures and, potentially, reductions in the intensity of freeze events which could lead to mangrove forest replacement of salt marsh in parts of the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Atlantic coast.
From a functional perspective, salt marsh grasses and mangrove trees are foundation species that control ecosystem dynamics and, in stressful and highly dynamic environments, provide the structural properties needed by other species; hence, the ecological and conservation implications of grass-to-tree conversions in coastal wetlands could be large (in both positive and negative ways). Dr. Mike Osland, USGS Research Ecologist and GCPO LCC staffer, along with 4 collaborating scientists, has initiated a study that addresses the following question: how might winter climate change impact the distribution and abundance of salt marshes and mangrove forests in the southeastern U.S.?
Their results begin to illustrate the vulnerability of salt marshes in the southeastern U.S. to mangrove forest expansion and quantify the amount of salt marsh habitat within each state that could be impacted by mangrove forest expansion under various winter climate change scenarios. The preliminary results are striking in terms of the potential for mangrove forest range expansion and coastal marsh displacement in the region. The hope is that these analyses stimulate additional discussion, research, and planning regarding the potential ecological and conservation implications of winter climate change for coastal wetlands in the southeastern U.S.
Answer:
Salt marshes are coastal wetlands found throughout the world on protected shorelines and on the edges of estuaries where freshwater mixes with seawater.
Mangrove forests are those which contain Mangroves which are trees and shrubs that grow in saline (brackish) coastal habitats in the tropics and subtropics.

Storage polysaccharides, like starch and glycogen, often contain over a million glucose units. The energetic cost of synthesizing polysaccharides is high (about one high-energy phosphate bond per sugar residue added). Suppose that in a liver cell, the glucosyl residues in large numbers of glycogen molecules were replaced with an equivalent number of molecules of free glucose. What problems would this cause for the liver cell
Answer:
Glucose present as monomers within the cell will exert more osmotic pressure than a single glycogen molecule, resulting in endosmosis and the lysing of cells.
Also, the presence of free glucose molecules will result in increase in weight of the liver due to lack of efficient packing as in glycogen as well as the association ofnthe glucose molecules with water molecules.
Explanation:
Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomer units linked to Each other by α-1,4-glycosidic binds. α-1,6-branches arises at about every 10th glucose residue in the straight chain. Thus animals more glucose molecules to be stored within a much smaller space, thereby incresing the bulkiness of glycogen. Glycogen molecules are insoluble in the aqueous medium of the cell because it doesn't have enough free polar groups to participate in hydrogen bonding with water and are stored as granules and therefore do not affect the water potential or osmotic balance of the cell.
On the other hand, glucose molecules are highly soluble in water because it has many free polar -OH grours that form hydrogen bonds with water. If the glucosyl residues in large numbers of glycogen molecules were replaced with an equivalent number of molecules of free glucose, the free glucose will exert a high osmotic pressure inside the cell, causing the entry of water in the cell by endosmosis resulting in swelling and lysis ofnthe cell. Also, the space occupied by these free glucose units within the cell will be much larger than that of glycogen whichmenables efficient packing ofthe glucose molecules.

The Hawaiian honeycreeper bird has a mutualistic relationship with the Hawaiian silversword plants. The Hawaiian silversword plants have been widely destroyed due to human development in the area
Which of the following explanations BEST predicts how human development will affect the Hawaiian honeycreeper bird population?
Answer:
The Hawaiian honeycreeper bird population will decrease because they rely on the Hawaiian silversword plants for survival.
Explanation:
The destruction of Hawaiian silversword plants due to human development hurts the Hawaiian honeycreeper bird population as the bird exists in a mutual relationship with the plants.
What is the relationship between Hawaiian silversword plants and honeycreeper birds?Hawaiian honeycreeper bird has a mutual relationship with Hawaiian silversword plants, where the bird feeds on the plant's nectar and pollinates the flowers. If the plant population decreases, it will result in a reduced food supply for the bird which decreases their population size.
Loss of the silversword plants also destroys their habitat which can impact their population. Therefore, human development results in a decrease in the Hawaiian honeycreeper bird population.
However, the loss of the honeycreeper bird population also affects the ecosystem as they play a very important role in seed dispersal and plant reproduction which reduces plant diversity and also negatively impact other species that depend on the Hawaiian silversword plants for food.
Therefore, the destruction of Hawaiian silversword plants hurts the Hawaiian honeycreeper bird population as the bird exists in a mutual relationship with the plants.

Write down the classes of foods digested in the gut from the mouth to the duodenum?
Explanation:
The chyme is gradually pushed down the duodenum by peristaltic waves which flow down the length of the digestive tract. Most of the digestion of the protein, fats and carbohydrate in the chyme is done by the enzymes in the duodenum, before the resultant mixture is passed further into the small intestine.

Explanation:
The xylem and phloem are the vascular tissues in plants. Their function is to transport water and sugars respectively to all the parts of the plant body. Xylem is only involved in water transport. Companion cells and sieve elements are the two components of the phloem. The companion cells are the storage house of sugars they have a role in movement of the sugars in and out of the sieve elements. They take up sugars via active transport by using their transmembrane proteins. The companion cells will show major fluorescence as these are the reservoir of sugars.

A single codon is used to signal the beginning of protein synthesis. It is commonly called the START CODON. Locate the start codon on the chart. What are the three bases of this codon? ________
About the question:
You will find the chart in the attached files
Answer:
The strat codon is AUG
Explanation:
Genetic information for the aminoacids assembly during the protein synthesis is stored in short sequences of three nucleotides named codons in the mRNA. Each of the codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. The total number of possible codons is 64, from which 61 codify amino acids -more than one codon codify for the same amino acid-. One of these amino acids is also the start point of protein synthesis. And the left three codons are stopping translation points.
The codons indicating the initiation or stop points during the translation process are:
The start codon AUG is the most common sequence used by eukaryotic cells and places near the 5´extreme of the molecule. However, other codons might be used as well. Prokaryote cells might use the codons GUG or UUG. The end codons are UAA, UAG, UGA.Answer:

Whether there is a net flow of fluid into or out of a capillary at a given spot along its length depends on _____.whether or not the fluid contains carbon dioxide whether or not the fluid contains oxygen whether the fluid contains nutrients or wastesthe balance between blood pressure and osmotic pressurethe needs of the tissue
Answer: Depends on the balance between blood pressure and osmotic pressure.
Explanation:
The capillaries are part of the microcirculation that transports nutrients to the tissues and removes cell excreta. The walls of the capillaries are extremely thin, constructed of single - layer, highly permeable endothelial cells. Therefore, water, cell nutrients and cell excreta can all interchange quickly and easily between the tissues and the circulating blood.
The tissues of the body is made up of soo many capillaries which helps to deliver blood and it's contents to it. The hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries tends to force fluid and it's dissolved substances through the capillary pores into the interstitial spaces. Conversely, osmotic pressure caused by the plasma proteins( called COLLOID OSMOTIC PRESSURE) tends to cause fluid movement by osmosis from the interstitial spaces into the blood. This osmotic pressure excreted by the plasma proteins normally prevents significant loss of fluid volume from the blood into the interstitial spaces.
Therefore, a balance between hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries which is influenced by blood pressure and osmotic pressure in order for a net flow of fluid into or out of a capillary to occur.

Answer:
c.5
Explanation:
moles= mass/molar mass
molar mass of Ca(OH)2=74.092gmol-1
moles=370.47/74.092
moles =5
Considering the definition of molar mass, 5 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are present in 370.47 grams of Ca(OH)₂.
Definition of molar massThe molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.
The molar mass of a compound (also called Mass or Molecular Weight) is the sum of the molar mass of the elements that form it (whose value is found in the periodic table) multiplied by the number of times they appear in the compound.
Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂In this case, you know the molar mass of the elements is:
Ca= 40 g/mole
O= 16 g/mole
H= 1 g/mole
So, the molar mass of the compound Ca(OH)₂ is calculated as:
Ca(OH)₂= 40 g/mole + 2× (16 g/mole 1 g/mole)
Solving:
Ca(OH)₂= 74 g/mole
Moles of 370.47 grams of Ca(OH)₂Next, you can apply the following rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 74 grams of the compound are contained in 1 mole, 370.47 grams of the compound are contained in how many moles?
[tex]amount of moles=\frac{370.47 gramsx1 mole}{74 grams}[/tex]
amount of moles≅ 5 moles
Finally, 5 moles of Ca(OH)₂ are present in 370.47 grams of Ca(OH)₂.
