The biosphere (from Greek βίος bíos "life" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere") also known as the ecosphere (from Greek οἶκος oîkos"environment" and σφαῖρα), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth, a closed system (apart from solar and cosmic radiation and heat from the interior of the Earth), and largely self-regulating.[1] By the most general biophysiological definition, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved, beginning with a process of biopoiesis (life created naturally from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds) or biogenesis (life created from living matter), at least some 3.5 billion years ago.[2][3]

In a general sense, biospheres are any closed, self-regulating systems containing ecosystems. This includes artificial biospheres such as Biosphere 2 and BIOS-3, and potentially ones on other planets or moons.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

innervation of the sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this lower urine output is primarily due to innervation of the sympathetic nervous system. This supply of nerves then increases the pressure which tightens the afferent arteriole, and is what prevents urine from passing through. Hence why the urine output is only 4 mL over the first hour on arrival.

10 points! When looking out of my back door, I see robins, blue jays, finches, crows, hawks and owls all living in the same area
forsale [732]

The possibility for all of the mentioned birds to live all in a same area is because they are all specialized and occupy a certain niche in the food chain, thus not standing in each others ways when it comes to competition for food.

All of these birds have adapted to be able to survive in their respective environment, developing characteristics that will enable them to be superior in something. Through natural selection, the individuals that were performing better, got the chance to mate, thus the offspring was better adapted and stronger in its niche of the food chain.

The robins and the blue jays are birds that are very opportunistic in their food choice, thus giving them greater flexibility and ability to survive, they mostly feed on worms, insects, fruits, vegetables, so they have a big menu.

The finches are specialized in eating nuts and seeds, thus avoiding the competition with the previous two, thus having that food type for themselves.

The owls and hawks are both birds of pray, but the owls hunt mostly at night, while the eagles during the day. Also, the owls prefer to have rodents as their pray, while the hawks are mostly eating other birds, thus not standing in each other's ways.
