Answer: option D - After eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the ability of a living organism to ADJUST its internal environment to maintain a stable equilibrium

FOR EXAMPLE: warm-blooded animals like humans allow blood vessels dilate during hot weather, and constrict during cold weather IN ORDER to maintain a constant body temperature.

Thus, after eating a large batch of salty popcorn, levels of salt in the urine increase due to the homeostatic mechanism of the ANTI-DIURETIC HORMONE stimulating reabsorbtion of water from urine, and excretion of excess salt.

A population of salamanders lives near a stream. A severe drought dries up the flow of the stream. What is this effect on the sa
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

limiting factor

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, certain factors hinder the growth or abundance of the population of organisms. These factors are called LIMITING FACTORS. Limiting factors, which can be biotic, food, drought, predation, disease etc, are factors that inhibits a population of organism from becoming enlarged. There are two types of limiting factors viz: density dependent (depends on size) and density independent (not dependent on size).

This is the case of a drought that dries up the stream that inhabits a population of salamanders. The drought causes the unavailability of water, which will ultimately have an effect on the growth of the salamander population. Hence, the DROUGHT is considered a LIMITING FACTOR.
