C. How long does it take a paper bag to break down?
Answer:
Homeostasis is the process of maintaining a constant internal environment of the body with the help of certain mechanisms such as feedback loops.
Explanation:
Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment of the body. It includes maintaining several parameters such as acid-base balance, blood glucose level, body' temperature, etc. within the narrow range.
Homeostasis is mainly maintained with the help of negative feedback loops wherein the deviation of any parameter from the normal physiological range is counteracted and restored.
For example, the blood glucose level remains within the range of 70 and 110 milligrams of glucose per 100 milliliters of blood under normal physiological conditions. Any deviation from the range is restored with the help of pancreatic hormones insulin and glucagon.
Answer: D. at most 10
Explanation:
Using the energy pyramid, the ratio of grassland to primary consumer to secondary consumer is: 100:10:1 respectively.
Thus if the grassland supports 100 cattle (primary consumer), the numbers of humans (secondary consumer) the cattle can feed will be;
100/10 = 10.
Biotechnology can be used to transform bacteria so they are able to make human proteins, such as insulin. It can also be used to create transgenic crops, such as crops that yield more food or resist insect pests. (I copied this off the web so just paraphrase)
