Biology

True [87]3 years ago
7 0
Balamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba that was discovered in 1986 in the brain of the baboon that dies in San Diego Wild Animal Park. This can be found in the soil and water, therefore it is freely living. It is known to cause the neurological condition known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. In a study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, it has a case fatality rate of >98%. Majority of this case can be found in warmer regions that affects individuals mostly of Hispanic origin. Documented cases had been reported from the Latin Americas in significant number, followed by the United States, Asian regions and some in Europe. However, a specific number of cases worldwide may never be known due to the following factors: lack of awareness, poor diagnosis and a poor public health system.

It is still yet to be known if its a serious public health concern worldwide.

When do feedback loops fail to work on an ecosystem?
natulia [17]

Answer:

Feedback loop will fail in an ecosystem if the factors regulating the feedback mechanisms fail to function.

Explanation:

Feedback loop is the phenomena in which output is circled back in a way that it is used as input again i.e the reaction is circled back. Its a continuous process.

There are two types of feedback loops, positive and negative, one functions to reinforce and other functions to balance. Positive feedback loops enhance the outputs while negative lower the output and keeps the balance. the variables that are involved in all these processes effect each others so, by eliminating such variables or factors will cause failure of feedback loops.
