Succession is described as the orderly, natural changes, and species replacements which occurs in communities of an ecosystem over time. Succession can be primary, secondary.
Ecological succession on the other hand is an occurrence when an ecosystem becomes unstable; It is a slow and natural change in an ecosystem over hundreds or thousands of years. During ecological succession, growth of young hardwoods affect the organisms living in an ecosystem by outgrowing them because there was an increase in shading by the fully grown hardwoods. For instance, the sun loving pines are outgrown because the forest floors are shaded.

A patient is receiving gentamicin once daily. A nursing student asks the nurse how the drug can be effective if given only once

Digiron [165]

Answer:

a."Gentamicin has a longer half-life than other aminoglycosides."

Explanation:

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside that binds to bacterial ribosomal proteins and causes the inhibition of the protein synthesis, killing the bacteria. The killing can continue for long periods after administrating the drug and even once that the concentrations of this one can no longer be detected in the plasma. That is the reason why this drug is given once a day.

C. common ancestry.

Common ancestry is identified in the genes. Selection forces are the drives to these physical and composition changes of an organism however, it can be traced back.

Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.
