Answer;

-Convulsions and possible death

Explanation;

-Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction, it is the chemical that motor neurons of the nervous system release in order to activate muscles.

-It's found in parts of the peripheral nervous system, spinal cord, and areas of the brain. In the peripheral nervous system, ACh activates muscles that help the body move. When Ach is released to the muscle cells, the muscle contracts.

-There are many problems that can occur if ACh is blocked (muscles can't contract). One example is the black widow spider which uses venom that causes a flood of ACh into muscle cells and results in violent, uncontrollable muscle contractions, paralysis, and death for it's prey.

The Gap 2(G2) stage of Interphase

Explanation:

In a eukaryotic cell, the cell cycle refers to both -cell growth and cell division - leading to the production of identical daughter cells. The cell cycle is basically divided into interphase (I) and mitosis (M).

The interphase, during which the cell grows and replicates its DNA takes place by the following stages – Gap 1 (G1), Synthesis (S), Gap 2(G2).

The cells grow and increase in size during the G1 period.

The G2 phase or the second gap phase the cell utilizes energy and produces necessary proteins for undergoing chromosome manipulation and other organelles and prepares the cell for mitotic cell division.

DNA replication mainly takes place in the Synthesis or the S stage of interphase with each of the chromosomes (46) is replicated.  

Due to this DNA replication in the S stage, its content is doubled (4-N DNA content) when it enters the G2 stage and all the DNA is found within a single nucleus.

A few years after a devastating forest fire, pioneer trees become established. after another 50 years, those trees are replaced
Keith_Richards [23]
Abiotic factors composed of water, light, temperature and air etc. due to fire's this primary succession was completely destroyed. Their remaining organic bodies were decomposed in soil texture.

In order to establish secondary succession there is need of water and light, because water help in translocation of food and nutrients in plants while light is important for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis need three major components. these are H₂O, CO₂ and light, all these components are abiotic part of ecosystem. However, when secondary succession occurs, then light play a key role in changing the composition of plant community. The best example is the difference in height of plants of different community.

Explanation:

it weakens an ecosystem.biodiversity is the slight changes of one organisim to the next inside a species. when a species looses biodiversity, the traits that the one organisim had are gone and none of the others can adapt this trait. adaptation is what keeps speicies alive. thus, loss of biodiversity is bad and weakens an ecosystem.
