Answer:
Each organ system performs specific functions for the body, and each organ system is typically studied independently. However, the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis.
For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved. The digestive system also plays a role with variable water absorption. Water can be lost through the integumentary and respiratory systems, but that loss is not directly involved in maintaining body fluids and is usually associated with other homeostatic mechanisms.
Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)

Answer:
Glucose: is a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
Fructose: or fruit sugar, is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants.
Deoxyribose: sugar derived from ribose by replacing a hydroxyl group with hydrogen.
Ribose: is a kind of sugar that is produced by the body. It is used as a medicine. Ribose is used for heart disease, mental function, athletic performance, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Glyceraldehyde (glyceral) is a triose monosaccharide with chemical formula
Explanation:
1. Depth: The water level in the Great Salt Lake fluctuates from year to year. Water levels drop and salinity increases when less water flows into the lake than usual. Not only that, but the wetlands dry up and the shoreline recedes. The reason the shoreline shifts so dramatically is because it sits at the bottom of a broad and relatively flat basin. For a visual example, think of pouring water into a plate versus a bowl.
Salinity: This Great Salt Lake has a high mineral content, as most terminal lakes are, which means that it is quite salty. Even the fresh water flowing into the lake contains small amounts of dissolved minerals. As water evaporates from the lake, the minerals stay behind. As a result, these minerals have accumulated to very high levels because they have been left behind for thousands of years. The Great Salt Lake is between 3.5 and 8 times saltier than the ocean. However, the organisms that survive in such saline conditions have adapted to their surroundings through special features.
Temperature: The Great Salt Lake has a very shallow depth, with an average of 14 feet deep and a mere maximum of 33 feet. This means that a lot of the surface area is exposed to the air, and is at the mercy of its seasonal temperature fluctuations. In the summer, rise to more than 80 degrees Fahrenheit while falling to below freezing in the winter.
2. Depth: Salinity drops and lake levels rise during high precipitation years. Wetlands get covered by salt water, and the shoreline expands, sometimes destroying wildlife habitats and killing sensitive vegetation.
Salinity: <span>Changes in lake elevation are accompanied by changes in salinity. The salinity in the lake decreases as incoming fresh water dilutes the salt water. This happens during the wet years. During dry years, however, salinity increases as continued evaporation removes fresh water.
</span>Temperature: Because of the lake's salt high content, the water doesn't usually freeze. However, as the temperature drops during the winter, less saline zones freeze solid, and most of the lake turns into a vivid pea-soup green color. In mid-March, temperatures begin to rise again as brine shrimp begin hatching. By late April, juvenile, and adult brine shrimp fill the water, serving as food for migrating and breeding birds.
3. Brine shrimp are smaller in highly salty water and larger in less salty water. Also, salinity levels also affect the rate of sexual development. Higher salinities produce adults who reach maturity quicker but are shorter in length. As salinity increases, the abdomen becomes longer relative to body length. Low salinity may also cause cysts to crack prematurely, as well as allowing other competitors into the ecosystem. High salinity results in offspring that develop quickly but are smaller and have a relatively longer abdomen. In short, effects of abiotic conditions on brine shrimp are development rate, the rate of sexual maturity, the overall length of the abdomen, amount/type of food available, cyst density and location.
4. One limiting factor of brine shrimp are predators: corixids that consume brine shrimp, grebes that consume brine shrimp and their cysts, and humans that commercially harvest brine shrimp cysts. Another limiting factor for brine shrimp is cooler temperatures. They<span> are much more productive in warmer water and consume more phytoplankton. However, when the lake water temperature is cold, the shrimp population tends to decline. </span>
