Q

Explain the greenhouse gas effect in detail

A

Greenhouse gases allow UV rays through, but the infrared energy from the earth is trapped by the greenhouse gases, causing the earth to heat up more than usual

Q

How does Ciguatera poisoning occur? What is the process called and how does it occur step-by-step?

A

Biological magnification!
Algae is concentrated due to fertilizers in the water. Small fish consume algae and toxins which enter the tissues. Bigger fish eat the small fish, and the toxin becomes more concentrated. The toxin increases in concentration as it travels up the food chain.. Once humans consume it, acts as a neurotoxin that has a stronger effect with each dose. Symptoms could last months or longer, and even cause death.

Q

Explain alternation of generation in plants and any changes that might have taken place as plants have become more advanced

A

Plants alternate from the Gametophyte stage (Haploid) to the sporophye stage (diploid) and back throughout their life cycles. Early plants started out as mainly Gametophyte dominant, but as they’ve evolved, sporophyte became more dominant

Q

Explain the process scientists think Prokaryotes underwent to become Eukaryotes

A

Endosymbiotic theory: the proces in which a smaller prokaryote was engulfed by a larger prokaryote. They develoed a symbiotic relationship, where the smaller provided energy, and the larger, protection. Tese eventualy evolved to become mitochondria nd chloroplasts. Evidence are the double membranes and separate DNA

Q

List and explain different evolutionary progressions plants underwent to evolve from algae to angiosperms

A

phytoplankton - bryophytes - pterophytes - gymnosperms - angiosperms

The first land plants, bryophytes, evolved from phytoplankton. The Bryophytes evolved to have a waxy cuticle to regulate water, and were also capable of alternation of generations.
Next, the pterophytes appeared - the first vascular plants that could transport water and sugar through xylem and phloem, respectively. Next, the gymnosperms, or naked seeds, allowed for the embryo to have a nutritious, advantageous beginning, and could travel very well. Angiosperms had flowers and seeds encapsulated in fruit. Reproduction aided by insects and animals

A

the total sum of singals received at the trigger zone. This includes IPSP (Inhibitory post-synaptic potential) and EPSP (excitatory post-synaptic potential). If the sum is strong enough to surpass the threshold, an action potential will be triggered. If not, the signal fails.

A

due to binging and poor eating habits, the body produces large amounts of insulin in response to large spikes in glucose. Over time, the somatic cells do not respond as much to the insulin. The beta cells reponsible for producing insulin eventually tire and die as a result.
