Answer:

C. Oil from the oil spill could enter aquatic organisms, like fish, which could make people sick.

Explanation:

Fish filter water to remove oxygen or food. With contamination of water by oil spill, the oil is absorbed by the fish organism during these natural processes. Not necessarily these animals will die from it. But the substances can lodge in the fish's body and stay there for years. As a result, they contaminate the entire food chain, causing disease to all who feed on this fish. From this we can state that oil from oil spills can enter aquatic organisms such as fish, which can make people sick because they will consume fish infected with oil.

Muscle cell activity increases and ATP decreases below the set-point, a sensor molecule detects low ATP and activates protein ki
sergeinik [125]

Answer: Feedback mechanism

Explanation:

Feedback mechanism is the body's way of maintaining physiologic processes in the body. These physiologic processes include maintaining homeostasis, production of energy, hormones as well as enzymes required for chemical reactions.

There are 2 types of feedback mechanism:

  1. Positive feedback: The stimulus (message) sent to the brain, produces prolonged increased production or increased activity in the body.
  2. Negative feedback: In negative feedback, the stimulus causes production, secretion or activity till a set point where the body knows it has taken enough. This causes a self termination of the process.

In the increased muscle activity, the increase in activity in turn causes a decrease in energy (ATP) and serves as the stimulus leading to the release of enzymes which in turn lead to increased absorption of glucose which will be used by the body to produce more ATP needed for the muscular activity. At the end of the muscular activity, the body recognizes that it doesn't need an increased absorption of glucose to support increased activity anymore and glucose absorption normalizes.

There were fossil records matched up to continents that were supposed to be side by side at one point. </span><span>Fossils found on the east coast of Brazil match quite nicely with fossils found in western South Africa. Also, he noticed that a lot of the fossilized life found in the rock record didn't fit in the climates they were found in.
