Which biotic and abiotic factors are different between a lion and a deer?
nevsk [136]
They are both biotic factors because they affect living organisms. The abiotic factor a lion and deer needs is water because they need to stay hydrated but water is not living . Deers eat plants, plants are known as biotic factors too. And lions eat their prey which are living animals and once they are preyed upon they are still considered biotic because they were once living before getting consumed by the lion.

"One of the two major systems that are affected by the stress response is the ____________, which results in increased productio
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is the endocrine system.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system are the two prime systems that take part in the stress response.  

At the time of acute or chronic stress, the endocrine system first makes the hypothalamus to discharge CRH or corticotropin-releasing hormone into the bloodstream. The release of CRH further makes the anterior pituitary to discharge ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone into the blood. This further stimulates the adrenal cortex to discharge cortisol, that is, one of the glucocorticoid hormone into the bloodstream.  

The cortisol finally makes the organs and tissues present within the body to effectively cope up with the initial stress stimulus.
