Explanation:

The community may enter primary succession.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

  • colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
  • becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
  • there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

Like the harvested climax forest, secondary communities do not begin with the removal of soil and all biological life; other species, may be more suited to the altered conditions and begin to modify the area creating a new community.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer would be the group that was given a placebo.</em>

A control group in an experimental study is the group that is subjected to all other conditions except the variable whose effects are being determined during the course of the experiment.

<u>Since the main goal of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine, the difference between the experimental and the control group would be the vaccine.</u> Instead, the control group would be given a placebo - a substance that is designed not to have any effect but looks like the vaccine itself.

<em>Correct option: </em><em>C</em>

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs)
ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs). ROSs can damage mitochondria. Damaged mitochondria generate more ROSs than healthy mitochondria. This is an example of a positive feedback mechanism

The reactive oxygen species that are given out by the mitochondria during cellular respiration are the major cause of aging. Though this has a lot of negative effects but this also has a small amount of positive effects such as the start of angiogenesis or cell proliferation.
