A mule is a hybrid between a horse and a donkey (a male horse and a female donkey). Mules cannot produce offspring so it is under Hybrid Sterility, which falls under Letter D: a postzygotic barrier.
A postzygotic barrier diminishes the ability to reproduce of hybrid offsprings.
Answer: Photosynthesis has a role in the cycling of matter and flow of energy into and out of organisms.
Explanation:
The flow of energy and cycling of matter can be traced. The chemical reaction by which plants produce complex food molecules to occur requires an energy input

1. B, D and J.
2. A and C.
3. E, F, G, H, AND I.
Explanation:
A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature. A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.
A membrane is a thin layer which forms the wall of the cell and typically controls what leaves and enters the cell.
Some of the effects of various biological conditions on membrane physiology are;
1. Makes RMP (Resting Membrane Potential) Less Negative: this simply means that it decreases RMP;
- Decreased concentration of leaky potassium channels in the membrane.
- ATP stores are declining through mitochondrial poison (arsenic).
- Increased concentration of leaky sodium channels in the membrane.
2. Influences the Ability of the Cell to Repolarize;
- Voltage regulated potassium channels are blocked.
- Acetylcholine esterase concentration is decreased.
3. Influences the Ability of the Cell to Depolarize;
- The size of the synaptic cleft is increased.
- Hyperhydration (high water concentration in ECF).
- Release of excitatory neurotransmitter by a presynaptic input is blocked.
- Hyponatremia (low ECF sodium).
- Neurotransmitter synthesis is compromised due to Golgi dysfunction in the presynaptic neuron.
Answer:
provisioning, such as the production of food and water; regulating, such as the control of climate and disease; supporting, such as nutrient cycles and oxygen production; and cultural, such as spiritual and recreational benefits.
