Laxative abuse is common in individuals who obsessively need to lose weight or who have an eating disorder. It is a widespread belief that laxative abuse controls body weight; this is false. It instead causes the body to lose water and essential minerals; a condition that can be life threatening. Excessive use of laxative or laxative abuse can lead to hypokalemia which is a deficiency of of potassium ions in the blood.

Which population would be least likely to survive a change in its ecosystem?
Burka [1]

Answer: D

Explanation:

lIf the change in the ecosystem occurs, then it would effect the weather, temperature, and the abiotic factors. So, we can see that the bacteria could survive in any sort of temperature. So, A can't be it. Also, B can't be it because the grass can grow in any sort of soil, even if the soil is contaminated. C cant be it because even if the change in the envoriment (temperature, contaimination) kills of one of the brown bear's food source, they can still have other things they can eat. But, if the weather gets too hot or the soil gets contaimnated and kills off the ecalyptus plants, the koala has nothing  else to eat. So, best answer is D.

What complementary strand of DNA would be produced from the strand of DNA shown below?<br> TCG GA
mariarad [96]
Complementary pairing goes like this:

A pairs with T and 
C pairs with G. Nothing about this changes unless you get to mRNA (But we won't go into that) :)

So if you have a strand that goes TCG GA then your pairing will look like this:

T A
C G
G C
G C
A T

Hope this helps!! :)
