Give one example of an extrinsic homeostatic mechanism overriding an intrinsic homeostatic process.

Biology
1 answer:
NeTakaya3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Extrinsic regulatory mechanisms are external and depend on the firing of some factor outside the population itself. Among them are interspecific competition, food and space restrictions, very strong climatic variations, weathering and inharmonious relationships with other populations (parasitism and predatism).

Good examples of interspecific competition appear when rabbits, caves, rats compete for the same plant, or different fish and birds, such as the heron, vie for the same species of smaller fish. This is because these different species keep their populations in the same ecological niche. Competition is often so strong that some species eventually, as one example of an extrinsic homeostatic mechanism overriding an intrinsic homeostatic process is their disappearance or migration to other regions.

In this competition, the presence of adaptations among individuals in the population that promote better food search, speed, vision, and others can make the difference between elimination and survival.

Identify the type of neuronal cell that detects bright light and provides high-resolution color vision.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is b. cones.

Explanation:

Cones and rods are specialized cells, called photoreceptor cells, that are found in the retina and are responsible for our vision.

Cones, allow to the human eye to have a visual acuity (ability of the eye to resolve, transmit sharp images and perceive small details in an object) and provide sensitivity to the color, are more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.

There are three different types of cones in color reception: "L cones" (sensitive to long wavelength, which is red), "M cones" (sensitive to medium wavelength, which is green) and "S cones" (sensitive to short wavelength, which is blue). Since color perception depends on the activation of these three types of nerve cells, it follows that the visible color can be determined based on three numbers called triestimulus values.

The rods are necessary for the perception of light and darkness and to adapt to night vision, because they are very sensitive to low intensity light. On the contrary, they become completely blind to bright light and, therefore, lack importance with regard to daytime vision or visual acuity.
