Ans.

Hormones are regulatory substances synthesized by various plants and animals and play role in proper growth, development, and maintain homeostasis. Hormones are released by signalling cells and show their actions after binding to specific receptors present on the surface or inside of the target cell.

Hormones, for which receptors are present inside the cells (in cytosol or nucleus) should be hydrophobic in nature. This is because plasma membrane is made up lipid molecules and small, hydrophobic, uncharged molecules can easily pass through this. For example, cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone hormones are lipid-derivatives and receptors for these hormones are present inside the cells.

Nata [24]

Answer:

increased risk of wildfires- both

local economy suffers- Case 1

carbon storage decreases - Case 2

agricultural production decreases - Case 1

carbon storage increases -  Case 1

disease vector range changes - Case 2

decreased water availability - Case 1

local economy thrives - Case 2

species range changes - Case 2

Explanation:

Fires are common to  taiga biomes. Owing to the fact that the biome in case 1 changed from an agricultural community to a grassland and subsequently to a desert, agricultural productivity will decrease, the local economy will suffer, water availability is decreased and local economy suffers as a consequence of desertification.

On the other hand, in case 2, the diseases vector range as well as species range changes due to the change in the species of foxes from Artic foxes to red foxes that carry rabies. Carbon storage decreases as the taiga biome acts as a carbon sink. The local economy thrives due to timber production.

Lastly, species range changes both in case 1 and case 2 since there is a loss of species. Species range is the area where a particular species can be found during its lifetime. Certainly, the range of area where species are found changed in cases 1 and 2.

What happen to the energy that was not passed on to the next tropic level?????<br> Please help AsAP
jekas [21]

Answer:

The energy that was not passed on the next tropic level is lost as heat

Explanation:

In an ecosystem flow of energy occur from one tropic level to the next one as the organism of one tropic level eats another organism belongs to the tropic level that is lower from that of previous one.

                    The 10% of total energy of one tropic level is passed to the next tropic level the rest of the energy is lost as heat in the environment.
