How is energy lost from from an ecosystem?

Biology
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. ... In each case, energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level and each time some energy is lost as heat into the environment.

Write the biological mechanism involved in breathing.
barxatty [35]
<span>Good Morning!

The breathing process occurs as follows: Inhalation increases the volume of the lungs, which reduces internal pressure and causes air to enter. Then the exhalation makes the opposite process. Gaseous exchanges occur in the lung alveoli and are responsible for eliminating the gases we do not need and preparing the oxygen to be spread throughout the body.

One role of the pancreas is to help regulate blood glucose levels. Two types of cells in the pancreas, beta and alpha, serve as
solniwko [45]

1. Regulation of glucose blood levels is an example of negative feedback mechanism.

Negative feedback mechanism is a control mechanism involved in homeostasis maintain, in this case maintenance of glucose blood levels in normal range.

Negative feedback mechanism contains sensory system that detects the changes, control system that responds to change and activates mechanisms of effector system that reverse the changes in order to restore conditions to their normal levels.

• Pancreatic cells-sensors

• Insulin-control system

• Body cells- effector cells

2. Blood glucose levels change throughout the day because of the food consumption, but in healthy individuals levels of glucose are successfully regulated via the mechanism of hormones such as insulin and glucagon in a process called glucose blood regulation.

This tight regulation of pancreatic hormones is referred to as glucose homeostasis. Insulin lowers blood sugar and glucagon raises it.

3. If the beta cells are destroyed by an autoimmune disease (immune system attacks its own cells), there would be no insulin release, and consequently, the glucose blood levels would be increased.

Diabetes type I is a metabolic disorder caused by the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells.

Answer: A. False, it should read “If a point mutation occurs in a tumor suppressor gene it can become inactivated. This allows the rate of cell division to increase unregulated.”

Explanation: I already know this for a fact.
