What is "set point theory"? are toxins involved? describe how body size and homeostasis are related?
guajiro [1.7K]
<span>Answer: Set point theory suggests that our body has a particular range of weight that it is comfortable in, usually about 10% of a body’s weight. That means, if you weight 175, you have about an 18 pound range; if you weigh 325, you have about a 33 pound range. Most people lose and gain within this set point on a pretty regular basis. They may put on a little weight in the winter and lose it in the spring. Or get busy and drop a little weight. Or gain a little when stressed. Or lose a little during an illness. Or whatever. Movement within this range is normal. However, movement outside of that range is not. In fact the body seeks homeostasis – that is the body seeks to stay within that range. To move outside of that range something must go on, something must happen to the body.</span>

Under what conditions do photosynthesis and cellular respiration occur in most plants? under what conditions do photosynthesis a
dezoksy [38]
Photosynthesis occurs only in the light while cellular respiration occurs in both the dark and the light. Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy. The process takes in carbon dioxide produced by all breathing organisms and reintroduces oxygen into the atmosphere. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP, and the release waste products.

Chapter 4 Review
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A rainforest is humid, therefore, water uptake would likely not be an issue. However, rainforests have a huge number of trees, often these are very tall. These large trees might block out the sun from the smaller plants nearer the ground. This means they would struggle to properly photosynthesise, as they wouldn't have the necessary light energy.

Therefore, as a survival adaptation, it is likely that an allele that produced broader leaves for photosynthesis would be selected for in this population. Broader leaves would give a larger surface area for the plant to absorb light energy to perform photosynthesis.
