Is the current rate of species loss 10 times the typical rate of extinction?

Biology
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago
7 0
The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.

The acidic chyme entering small intestine is neutralized by the bile.
MrRa [10]

Once food is in the small intestine, it stimulates the pancreas to release fluid containing a high concentration of bicarbonate. This fluid neutralizes the highly acidic gastric juice, which would otherwise damage the membrane lining of the intestine, resulting in a duodenal ulcer.

Hope it Helped.

What kind of exercise should you do during a warm-up?
vitfil [10]
<span>If jogging you should start off with a brisk walk and transition after about 1 minute to a slow jog. Then pick up your pace as your legs become warm with increased blood flow. If biking you should do a few static calf and thigh stretches but don't extend too far as muscles are cold. Then start off your cycling at a very slow comfortable pace. After about a minute you can start to slowly increase your pace until you reach your goal.</span>
