They need oxygen but they can't get it from the mother like a mammal..

Is the CoVID19 mRNA vaccine species specific? What would happen in other species?

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 03:17 PM PDT

I've been wondering if the mRNA based CoVID19 vaccines (from Pfizer and Moderna) are specific only to humans but I can't really find anything about it.

Is the mRNA vaccine specific to only the human species? What would happen if a different species, like a dog or cat, received the vaccine?

How common is it for an infection to have more than one species of bacteria present?

Is it often more than one species? And if so, is that why infections are referred to by their genus? Do bacteria not "outcompete" each other in an infection? Or do they?

How does glucose leave the liver in type II diabetes via GLUT2?

Posted: 20 Apr 2022 05:36 PM PDT

Hello all,

I learned that the major cause of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes is inappropriate gluconeogenesis in the liver because of the loss of sensitivity of insulin. In healthy people, insulin triggers insertion of GLUT2 into the liver membrane so that glucose in the blood can enter into hepatocytes. In type 2 diabetes, the sensitivity of the cell to insulin is impaired. The liver is tricked that blood glucose is low, so de novo synthesis of glucose occurs and is released into the blood, which greatly contributes to hyperglycemia. The thing I dont understand is if the cell is not sensitive to insulin and therefore not much GLUT2 is in the plasma membrane of hepatocytes, how is this glucose escaping the liver and into the blood to the degree of causing hyperglycemia? I know GLUT2 is a passive transporter, so is it an equilibrium thing with GLUT2?

Thanks.

If you kept a tree in perfectly stable environmental conditions would there be a development of rings?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 09:42 PM PDT

I'm sorry for the repost but there hasn't been a good answer on the subject and it's been 7 years so there may be new information.

Assuming this doesn't mess with some internal biological and kill it what would happen if you kept a tree in stable conditions it's whole life for example on a space station or somewhere that didn't have earths natural seasons how would this affect the growth rings if at all?

How does atmospheric CO2 reach underwater plants for photosynthesis?

Posted: 19 Apr 2022 10:40 PM PDT

I've heard that the vast majority of photosynthesis on Earth is done by marine flora underwater. So surely reforesting (for lack of a better word) sea floors is the way to mitigate CO2 build-up on Earth. This way land usage can continue as intended (certainly not perfectly) which helps to avoid societal pressure for now, and the risk to the ocean's carbon stores posed by fire, natural disasters, and human interference is minimal (thinking of the severe natural and man-made fires, and storms we've seen in the last couple of years).

But does the photosynthesis done on the seafloor actually consume atmospheric CO2? How does the CO2 get there? Any method of delivery must be extraordinarily slow, and the depth of the seafloor varies so drastically, where at what points is it suitable for photosynthesis? How feasible is it to expand the areas where marine photosynthesis occurs?
