Explanation:
Answer:
Interactions between biotic and abiotic components regulate carbon dioxide and water levels.
Explanation:
Abiotic factors include temperature, water, humidity, etc; while biotic factors include all the forms of life. These factors interact in the ecosystem to maintain its homeostasis. For example, during the photosynthesis, plants use the energy of the sun water and carbon dioxide to produce food (carbohydrates) and this process converts carbon dioxide (CO2) to oxygen, which is critical for maintaining the homeostasis of the ecosystem.
Substrate level phosphorylation is the formation of ATP to ADP. Due to substrate level phosphorylation, glycolysis forms 4 ATP.
bottleneck effect --- > A disease wipes out almost 90% of a population of birds, but the species adapts, and after 5 years its numbers increase dramatically.
gene flow ---> A population of rats travels on a cargo ship and mate with rats in a new region.
founder effect ---> Biologists introduce a small population of lizards on an island as part of a conservation effort.
mutation ---> A change in a DNA sequence causes a lizard to develop a darker skin color, which helps it hide from predators.
A diet high in protein and low in calcium may lead to osteoporosis. This is because protein, especially albumin, binds free calcium in the blood preventing it to be act upon calcitonin and preventing it to deposit in the bones. Low calcium predisposes patients in osteoporosis as there will be no calcium to be deposited in the bones.
