Overproduction - An organism gives birth to too many children
Genetic Variation - The offspring each have genetic differences in appearance, behavior, etc
Struggle to Survive - Offspring must fight in order to gain essential resources (food, water, mates, etc)
Successful Reproduction - Organism produces offspring with beneficial adaptations that aid in survival
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke causes approximately 45 to 46,000 non smokers to die of heat diseases annually. Smoking harms the cardiovascular system in many ways which include; damaging the lining of arteries, reduces HDL, good choresterol, Raises LML, bad cholesterol, increases blood pressure and heart rate, it also causes the platelets to stick together in the blood stream and speeds the development of fatty deposits in the arteries among other risk factors.
Because of the moisture and height difference so some can provide more coldness while the other could be hot
Answer:
the atmosphere
Explanation:
because coal-powered electrical plants produce air pollution, which is one of the main causes of global warming, so if it was substituted for hydroelectric or geothermal sources the amount of air pollution would decrease greatly.
Answer:
d. Fluoride becomes incorporated into the crystalline structure of teeth, making them less susceptible to decay
Explanation:
Dental caries results when cariogenic (caries-causing) bacteria metabolize carbohydrates or sugars present in the mouth for their energy needs, producing organic acids as byproducts, thus lowering the pH of the plaque biofilm.
The hydroxyapatite of tooth enamel is composed mainly of phosphate ions (PO₄³⁻) and calcium ions (Ca⁺). Under normal conditions, there is a stable equilibrium between the calcium and phosphate ions in saliva and the crystalline hydroxyapatite. At low pH (acidic conditions), there is a shift in equilibrium resulting in the dissolution of hydroxyapatite from tooth enamel, a process known as demineralization. A reverse process called remineralization (the process of incorporation of minerals in tooth enamel) occurs when the saliva, acting as a buffer elevates pH. When equilibrium is shifted to favor continued demineralization, dental caries results.
However, when fluoride is present in saliva, fluorapatite, rather than hydroxyapatite, forms during the remineralization process as fluoride ions replace hydroxyl groups in the formation of the apatite crystal lattice.
Fluorapatite is less soluble than hydroxyapatite making it more resistant to demineralization, even under conditions of low pH. Thus, fluoride acts as an effective anticaries agent.
