Answer:

Polysaccharide

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the of the four biological molecules in living systems. They consists of simple units called monosaccharide, or commonly called simple sugars. The polymers of carbohydrate are made up of thousands of these monosaccharides linked together via a glycosidic bond.

For example, the starch molecule is a carbohydrate polymer made up of hundreds to thousands of glucose molecules (monosaccharide) linked together. Hence, a long chain carbohydrate made up of series of monosaccharide like starch is called a POLYSACCHARIDE i.e. many saccharides or simple sugar unit

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: The answer is C!!! :D maintaining homeostasis by regulating the body's temp!

Explanation:

Shivering as a natural, involuntary response to generate heat is an example of maintaining homeostasis by regulating body temperature.

Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a relatively constant body environment. The normal range of operation of the body system is known as the setpoint.

When the setpoint temperature for some animals is breached, a negative feedback mechanism is used to return it to the setpoint. Shivering to generate heat is a response to a cold environment when the body's temperature is about to drop below the setpoint.

The oppositeis sweating. Sweating causes cooling and comes in response to when the setpoint temperature is exceeded.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Lionfish are rapidly consuming many smaller fish species along the coast at depths up to 90 meters.

Explanation:

Lionfish is an invasive species that has been successfully established in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a tropical species that lives mostly in reefs and rocks that provide protection. It <u>i</u><u>nhabits waters from the coast to 50 meters deep. </u>

Because of its high densities in the Atlantic, Lionfish is a promoter of ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences. They only have a few predators and consume a high diversity of prey items. They produce an ecological imbalance in the trophic chains of the marine ecosystem. When competing with native piscivores, they imbalance the dynamics of fish communities in coral reefs and mangroves. The <u>density of young and herbivores fishes has decreased because of their predation by the lionfish</u><u>.</u> By <u>predating on algae eating fishes</u>, they provoke a sharp increase in algae populations, which produces serious damages in the coral reefs, enhancing their mortality. The main consequences of these damages are marine biodiversity loss, water quality decrease, ecosystem recovery difficulty, and impacts on food provisioning for many other ocean species.
