Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Vitamin D

Rickets

Explanation:

Lack of vitamin D causes rickets

Answer 2

Darker skin in  equatorial environments is adaptive because it prevents  vitamin D deficiencies, which cause Rickets in newborns.

What determines skin color?

The pigment melanin is by far the most important factor that determines the color of people's skin, although there are many other factors that play a role. People with darker skin have more melanin, which is the primary pigment responsible for their skin color. Melanocytes, which are cells found in the skin, produce melanin.

People who live closer to the equator typically have darker skin as a form of protection against the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. This is because excessive UV exposure can lower folic acid levels and lead to skin cancer.

Black people have more melanin in their skin than people with lighter skin, which affects the body's ability to synthesize vitamin D. People with lighter skin have less melanin in their skin.

Therefore, near equator more sunlight causes increased vitamin D production , preventing rickets in new born.

Describe the change in shape of the lens when a person looks from a near object to a distant object

Answers

Answer:

Accommodation is the process of changing the shape of the lens to focus on near or distant objects.

To focus on a near object – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly.

To focus on a distant object – the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.

One of the ways that food can be preserved is by heavily salting it so that bacteria cannot live upon the food. What causes the bacteria to die in an extremely salty environment? Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

Dehydration

Explanation:

What causes bacteria to die in an extremely salty environment is dehydration due to the loss of osmotic balance in their cells.

Water molecules would normally move from the region of high water potential or low solute concentration to the region of low water potential or high solute concentration through a biologically permeable membrane.

An extremely salty environment would be hypertonic to the cells of bacteria and the cell walls of bacteria act as biologically permeable membranes. Hence, the bacteria cells lose water due to the osmotic movement of water from their cells to the surrounding salty environment.
