Today, any environment surrounded by other ecosystems that are unlike it is subject to Wilson’s theory of island biogeography. Because they are geographically isolated from other related ecosystems, these ecologies are referred to as "islands." Waterbodies divide tropical islands, but this idea also takes into account mountaintops, caverns, and other isolated ecosystems.

<h3>What is Wilson’s theory of island biogeography?</h3>
  • The biologist Edward O. Wilson and environmentalist Robert MacArthur published The Theory of Island Biogeography in 1967. It is widely considered as a foundational work in the ecology and biogeography of islands. The book was reissued by the Princeton University Press in 2001 as a volume in their "Princeton Landmarks in Biology" series.
  • The hypothesis that insular biota maintain a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and immigration rates was made more well-known by the book. An island's pace of new species immigration will decline as the number of species increases, while the rate of extinction of native species will rise.
  • Thus, MacArthur and Wilson anticipate that there will come a point of equilibrium where the rate of immigration and the rate of extinction are equal.

How can protists exhibit both animal-like and plant-like characteristics?
Kay [80]

A heterotrophic and chlorophyll protist

Food is ingested by protists in three forms. We produce, eat and digest their own organic molecules. Meat ingestion or english bacteria ingests protists. The cell wall and cell membrane are stretched to create an alimentary vacuolum around the foodstuff. Enzymes extract the food inside the food vacuole. At the other side, absorbent protists consume food molecules through their cell membrane by diffusion. In decomposition, absorbent protists play a crucial role. They are assumed to be essential decomponents. Light energy is used to make your own food by big farmers including photosynthetic protists.

Why don't people's cells starve from lack of glucose while they are fasting​
GenaCL600 [577]
Answer:


Fasting can definitely raise blood glucose. This is due to the effect of insulin falling and the rising counter-regulatory hormones including increased sympathetic tone, noradrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone, in addition to glucagon. These all have the effect of pushing glucose from liver storage into the blood. This is normal. If you are not eating, you want to use some stored glucose. The question is this – if you are not eating, and your blood glucose went up, where did that glucose come from? It can only have come from your own body (liver). So, it’s a natural phenomenon, and the fasting now allows your body to use some of the glucose for energy.
