Due to the bad trophic efficiency transfer, there is a loss in the consumption of most energy to cellular respiration at trophic levels. It also loses energy to heat, metabolism and other subsistence for biomass production. There is a higher energy loss when it is at higher trophic levels.

Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood starting from the heart, where deoxygenated, or carbon dioxide-filled, blood leaves from the right ventricle and through the pulmonary valve, then into the left and right pulmonary arteries and arrives at the lungs.

A mugger steals your wallet causing all of the following to happen EXCEPT ________.a.) increased metabolic rateb.) increased rat
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

c.) increased glucose uptake to the liver from blood

Explanation:

During stressful conditions such as facing a mugger, the sympathetic system of the autonomic nervous system is activated. There is a release of stress hormones from the adrenal glands to produce the flight or fight response. One of the physiological events occurring during these conditions is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose in liver cells and the release of glucose into the blood. The release of glucose by the liver increases blood glucose levels. This is done to ensure glucose availability as fuel. There is no uptake of glucose from the liver cells under such emergency conditions.

What kinds of traits do not evolve through natural selection?
Harrizon [31]

Natural selection doesn't favor traits that are somehow inherently superior. Instead, it favors traits that are beneficial (that is, help an organism survive and reproduce more effectively than its peers) in a specific environment. Traits that are helpful in one environment might actually be harmful in another.

(one again, I hope this helps ^^)
