The correct answer is A) Body imbalance
Answer:
The flow of energy in ecosystems is unidirectional or one-way.
Explanation:
Energy is the ability to do work. Energy flows in one direction in an ecosystem and is not recycled. This is because during the transfer of energy from one level to another, energy is lost. Most of the energy received from the sun by producers, plants, is lost as heat to the surroundings. The rest energy is converted by plants to produce food in the form of chemical energy.
Primary consumers feed on plants and secondary consumers feed on the primary consumers and so on up to quaternary consumers. However, at each level of energy transfer, some energy is lost as heat during respiration, some as unused or undigested materials, while some others are used for each organisms metabolic activities. About 90% of energy in a trophic is used at that trophic level. Therefore, only about 10% as much energy is available to organisms at each successive trophic level. Therefore, energy is not recycled in ecosystems.
Earth's atmosphere maintains its temperature by means of the earth's energy balance. This refers to how incoming from the sun and outgoing energy from the earth are in balance, thereby keeping earth's temperature constant.
Decomposers, are organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and small animals such as ants and worms that eat and decompose dead and waste organic matter and which recycle nutrients back into food chains making them available for plants use. Therefore, decomposers are an essential components of all ecosystems.
Answer;
A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.
Explanation;
-Islands tend to host very distinct but limited sets or species; on a given island a spectacular collection of one related group of species would be present and thriving, but many entire families or even higher taxa would be completely absent.
-All the species on the islands and the nearest continent are closely related to one another, however, each species had a set of adaptations that suits it for a particular environment. This means that the island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.
Answer:
is the higher number of a blood pressure reading.
Explanation: systolic blood pressure is the higher number of a blood pressure reading and its measure in millimeter of mercury.
Systolic pressure is the amount of pressure in the arteries when contraction takes place in heart. Diastolic pressure is the pressure the heart when it relaxes. It is the lower number of blood pressure reading
When the systolic pressure is >120mm Hg and diastolic is less than 80mm Hg it is normal
120-129mm Hg and diastolic less than 80mm Hg it high and such person needs a regular medical check up
But when systolic 129-139 mmHg
and diastolic is 90mm Hg or above it means the individual is having hypertension stage 1
Above 140mm Hg is hypertension stage 2 and it is the most severe stage. It means the person is hypertensive and medical attention needs to be seek for necessary treatment as this could lead to death of such individual if not well managed.
In the block to polyspermy, entry of the sperm's contents causes calcium ion levels in the oocyte's cytoplasm to rise, triggering the cortical reaction.
In biology, polyspermy describes the fertilization of an egg by more than one sperm. Diploid organisms normally contain two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent.
The cell resulting from polyspermy, on the other hand, contains three or more copies of each chromosome—one from the egg and one each from multiple sperm. Usually, the result is an unviable zygote. This may occur because sperm are too efficient at reaching and fertilizing eggs due to the selective pressures of sperm competition.
The cortical reaction is a calcium-dependent exocytotic process in which the content of secretory granules is released into the perivitellin space immediately after fertilization, which serves to prevent polyspermic fertilization.
