Answer:

When a resource is over consumed to the point of diminishing it. in the context of species extinction, if an animal population, say fish like anchovies, were to be fished for and eaten so much that they would have no chance to recover their numbers as they are eaten, it would be overexploitation. Hope this helps.

makkiz [27]

Answer: Osmosis is the movement of water or other solvent through a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration, tending to equalise the concentrations of the solutes. Osmosis is passive transport, meaning it does not require energy to be applied.

Examples of osmosis in daily life include plant cells soaking up water, skin soaking up water, and slugs reacting to salt.

The correct answer is peroxisomes.

Peroxisome refers to a small organelle found in the cytoplasm of various cells that comprises catalase (the reducing enzyme) and generally some oxidases.

They are the minute vesicles and comprises the digestive enzymes used for dissociating toxic components in the cell. They are not similar to lysosomes on the basis of the kind of enzymes they withheld. The peroxisomes generally contain enzymes that need oxygen, that is, oxidative enzymes.

Answer:

The given situation is an example of the Positive feedback loop.

Explanation:

Positive feedback is the phenomenon in which the effects of the small disturbances on a particular system can result in an increase in the perturbation magnitude. Positive feedback increases the input and causes instability in the system. Therefore, it refers to positive loop gain about closed loop of the cause and effect.

Therefore, the given situation is an example of the Positive feedback loop.
