Which component of energy expenditure is the most variable from one individual to another? adaptive thermogenesis thermic effect
Pani-rosa [81]
Out of all the activities that lead to energy expenditure in the human body, the one that varies most from one individual to another is the basal metabolism energy or basal metabolic rate. 
The BMR is the energy expended in order to maintain bodily functions such as respiration, circulation, homeostasis, hormone secretion and growth. The basal metabolic rate of a person is highly dependent on the person's lean body mass.

Which of the following is NOT one of the four main elements of an amino acid?
andrezito [222]

Answer: CALCIUM

Amino acids are organic molecules that, when linked together with other amino acids, form a protein. Amino acids are essential to life because the proteins they form are involved in virtually all cell functions. Some proteins function as enzymes, some as antibodies, while others provide structural support. Although there are hundreds of amino acids found in nature, proteins are constructed from a set of 20 amino acids. Generally, amino acids have the following structural properties:

A carbon (the alpha carbon)

A hydrogen atom (H)

A Carboxyl group (-COOH)

An Amino group (-NH2)

A "variable" group or "R" group

All amino acids have the alpha carbon bonded to a hydrogen atom, carboxyl group, and amino group. The "R" group varies among amino acids and determines the differences between these protein monomers. The amino acid sequence of a protein is determined by the information found in the cellular genetic code. The genetic code is the sequence of nucleotide bases in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) that code for amino acids. These gene codes not only determine the order of amino acids in a protein, but they also determine a protein's structure and function.

Which natural disaster actually increases biodiversity over the long term?
likoan [24]

<span>All natural disasters affect the ecosystem.  They affect lands, forests, and coasts and cause death to people, plants and animal species, the spread of invasive species, and loss of habitat. In the short term, they cause climate change but over time, there are some types of natural disasters that increase biodiversity in the long run. Examples of these are earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and wildfires. They play an important role in rejuvenating the ecosystem that they once destroyed.</span>

In this question, let us cite one specific example:

<span>1.      </span><span>Volcanic eruption.  The eruption has an immediate negative effect on surrounding, but through primary succession, the forest begins re-colonization almost immediately. Many plants, insects, and animal species arrive from adjacent places to take up residence. These life forms are adapted to survive in the severe conditions following volcanic eruption causing a new and more diverse forest ecosystem that will last a 150 year period.</span>
