Consciousness refers to a state of awareness or alertness in which the subject is cognizant of one's environment and self. It allows people the awareness to selectively focus on certain stimuli.
The following statements does not describe a key feature of consciousness: C. Consciousness is permanent. In contrast, consciousness is not permanent because consciousness is dependent upon the functioning of the brain.
Explanation:
All living organisms need nutrients to survive. While plants can obtain nutrients from their roots and the energy molecules required for cellular function through the process of photosynthesis, animals obtain their nutrients by the consumption of other organisms. At the cellular level, the biological molecules necessary for animal function are amino acids, lipid molecules, nucleotides, and simple sugars. However, the food consumed consists of protein, fat, and complex carbohydrates. Animals must convert these macromolecules into the simple molecules required for maintaining cellular function. The conversion of the food consumed to the nutrients required is a multistep process involving digestion and absorption. During digestion, food particles are broken down to smaller components, which are later absorbed by the body. This happens by both physical means, such as chewing, and by chemical means.
One of the challenges in human nutrition is maintaining a balance between food intake, storage, and energy expenditure. Taking in more food energy than is used in activity leads to storage of the excess in the form of fat deposits. The rise in obesity and the resulting diseases like type 2 diabetes makes understanding the role of diet and nutrition in maintaining good health all the more important.
As we already know, organism mean's something that is living.
Well, at a habitat there is going to be some animal's or insect's because it's that animal's or insect's habitat. ( They live there.) Well <u>most</u> organism's are food.
( NOTICE I bloldfaced "most", this is because not all organism's are food) Okay, let's go over what we just said. Organism's are living thing's and habitat's are places where organism's live. Now we have to think about this, you stated, Describe how is an <u>organism's food</u> and habitat related. The one thing we have not talked about is, <u>organism's food</u>. Okay, Animal's live in habitat's and so do organism's.
( Remember, some <u>organism's eat other organism's</u>) This is how organism's food and habitat are related.
<u>Hope this help's!</u>
<u>Good luck on your </u>
<u>home work! (:</u>
<span>Well active transport absolutely moves substances against their concentration gradient (answer C), although I dislike how the other answers could probably be argued for. This seems to be a case of pick the "best" answer</span>
It is stretched. Hope this helped :)
