Answer:
Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signaling the liver + muscle fat cells to take glucose from the blood. It then helps the cells to take the glucose to be use for energy, and if the body has sufficient energy, insulin signals the liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen.

Alternative Title: primary plant succession
Primary succession, type of ecological succession (the evolution of a biological community’s ecological structure) in which plants and animals first colonize a barren, lifeless habitat. Species that arrive first in the newly created environment are called pioneer species, and through their interactions they build a simple initial biological community. This community becomes more complex as new species arrive. Primary succession is distinguished from secondary succession, which is the recovery of an existing biological community after a disturbance sets back the community’s ecological structure to an earlier stage.
Primary succession
Primary succession
Primary succession begins in barren areas, such as on bare rock exposed by a retreating glacier. The first inhabitants are lichens or plants—those that can survive in such an environment. Over hundreds of years these “pioneer species” convert the rock into soil that can support simple plants such as grasses. These grasses further modify the soil, which is then colonized by other types of plants. Each successive stage modifies the habitat by altering the amount of shade and the composition of the soil. The final stage of succession is a climax community, which is a very stable stage that can endure for hundreds of years.

Ecological succession
Pioneer species
Lava-sterilized landscapes, newly formed sand dunes, and rocks either deposited or scoured by retreating glaciers are examples of settings in which primary succession often occurs, because these places either lack soil or their soil cannot sustain life. On newly created volcanic islands, for example, after the rock cools, seeds blown by the wind may lodge in crevices, germinate, and take root. Often these first colonizing plants are weedy species, such as fast-growing grasses and lichens, that do not grow tall but do reproduce quickly. After these plants germinate and grow, they die and decompose, and their remains create pockets of soil in which other plants, as well as fungi, can become established. Over time, such fast-growing vegetation covers more and more of the island, and seeds from other, hardier, taller-growing plants arrive on the wind or are transported by birds that begin to use the island as a stopover during migration.
Surtsey
Surtsey
Surtsey, a volcanic island off the southern coast of Iceland, emerged from the Atlantic Ocean in a fiery eruption in November 1963. Shortly thereafter plants such as sea rocket (Cakile arctica), sand ryegrass (Leymus arenarius), oysterleaf (Mertensia maritima), and seaside sandplant (Honckenya peploides) colonized the island. Much of Surtsey's vegetation is composed of lichens and mosses. However, some higher plants such as the dwarf willow (Salix herbacea) and tea-leaved willow (S. phylicifolia) have grown on the island since the 1990s.
ARCTIC IMAGES/Alamy
These new arrivals shade out sun-loving grasses, shrubs, and other pioneer species, and their cast-off parts decay and add to the soil, altering it by mixing with soil particles left by the decay of earlier plants. More plants and animals arrive (the latter rafting over on flotsam or flying from nearby islands or the mainland), and some become established on the island. The ecosystem changes with each new arrival. Over several decades, the biological community transitions from collections of pioneer and intermediate species to a climax community—that is, a relatively balanced ecological stage whose ecological structure and species composition are far less volatile than those of earlier stages.

what is gene flow and how might it impact a wolf population
Answer:
Gene flow within a population can increase the genetic variation of the population, whereas gene flow between genetically distant populations can reduce the genetic difference between the populations.
Explanation:
Gene flow within the population increases the genetic variability in the wolf population variation can be seen.
What is gene flow?Gene migration is another name for gene movement. The movement of genetic material from one group to another is referred to as gene flow.
Through migration, gene flow can occur between two populations of the same species and is mediated via vertical gene transmission from parent to offspring and reproduction.
Any movement of people and the genetic material they carry from one community to another is referred to as gene flow, often known as migration.
Therefore the movement of genetic material from one population to another is known as gene flow.

list 3 ways soils are classified
Answer:
Soils are composed of mixtures of mineral and organic materials, but are classified according to the size of their mineral particles. The three main texture groups are sandy, silty, and clay.
Sandy soil contains particles that can be seen with the naked eye and feels gritty when rubbed between the thumb and forefinger. Sandy soils will generally not stick together when wet.
Silty soil contains particles, which are smaller than sand particles but larger than clay particles. Silt feels powdery when rubbed between the thumb and forefinger. Silty soil sticks together when wet, but will not hold its shape after it is dry.
Clay soil contains the smallest particle size. Clay particles form a sticky soil when wet and will generally hold a shape after drying. Soils are rarely composed of just sand, silt, or clay. They are usually a mixture of the three with a larger percentage of one size of particles.
Answer:
Depending upon the average grain-size and the conditions under which soils are formed and deposited in their natural state, they may be categorized into following types on the basis of their structure: In the grain-size classification, soils are designated according to the grain-size or particle-size. The more common classification systems are enlisted below: Geological Classification
Classification by Structure
Classification based on Grain-size
Unified Soil Classification System
Preliminary Classification by soil types
Based on the agencies responsible for their present state, soils may be classified under following types: Residual Soils
Transported Soils:
Alluvial or sedimentary soils
Aeolian soils
Glacial soils
Lacustrine soils
Marine soils.

Answer:
Insects are protected by a chitin exoskeleton. The Venus flytrap cracks this protective shell using special digestion enzymes that are produced once the sensory hairs register a stimulus. It will ebb away if the hairs are not further stimulated.
Answer:
I do believe that the Venus flytrap is a predator because it is a carnivorous plant. The plant's trap is a single large leaf with trigger hairs.

Is the mass–kinetic energy relationship directly proportional (as one variable increases, the other increases) or inversely proportional (as one variable increases, the other decreases)?
Answer:
The kinetic energy of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the square of its velocity.
Explanation:
The mass-kinetic energy relationship is ; Directly proportional
The Kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional because an increase in the kinetic energy of a moving object leads to an increase in the mass of the object and also to the increase in the velocity of the object squared.
i.e. K.E ( kinetic energy ) = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the mass-kinetic energy relationship is directly proportional.

Which of the four factors that affect evolution apply to the finches that the Grants studied? Use
evidence from your research to support your answer. (15 points)
Answer:
Natural Selection in Real Time
"When we made the comparison between the size of the offspring generation and the population before selection, we found a measured, evolutionary response had taken place and it was almost identical to what we had predicted."
-Peter Grant
Darwin thought that evolution took place over hundreds or thousands of years and was impossible to witness in a human lifetime. Peter and Rosemary Grant have seen evolution happen over the course of just two years.
The Grants study the evolution of Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands. The birds have been named for Darwin, in part, because he later theorized that the 13 distinct species were all descendants of a common ancestor. Each species eats a different type of food and has unique characteristics developed through evolution. For example, the cactus finch has a long beak that reaches into blossoms, the ground finch has a short beak adapted for eating seeds buried under the soil, and the tree finch has a parrot-shaped beak suited for stripping bark to find insects.
The Grants have focused their research on the medium ground finch, Geospiza fortis, on the small island of Daphne Major. Daphne Major serves as an ideal site for research because the finches have few predators or competitors. (The only other finch on the island is the cactus finch.) The major factor influencing survival of the medium ground finch is the weather, and thus the availability of food. The medium ground finch has a stubby beak and eats mostly seeds. Medium ground finches are variable in size and shape, which makes them a good subject for a study of evolution.
The first event that the Grants saw affect the food supply was a drought that occurred in 1977. For 551 days the islands received no rain. Plants withered and finches grew hungry. The tiny seeds the medium ground finches were accustomed to eating grew scarce. Medium ground finches with larger beaks could take advantage of alternate food sources because they could crack open larger seeds. The smaller-beaked birds couldn't do this, so they died of starvation.
In 1978 the Grants returned to Daphne Major to document the effect of the drought on the next generation of medium ground finches. They measured the offspring and compared their beak size to that of the previous (pre-drought) generations. They found the offsprings' beaks to be 3 to 4% larger than their grandparents'. The Grants had documented natural selection in action.
While beak size is clearly related to feeding strategies, it is also related to reproduction. Female finches tend to mate with males that have the same size beaks. These factors together can add to the development of new species.
The Grants return each year to Daphne Major to observe and measure finches. They have been collecting data on the finches for over 25 years and have witnessed natural selection operating in different ways under different circumstances.
