ANSWER
The correct option is D.
The chappral biome is one of the most widespread biome in the world, it can be found on almost all continents. The major characteristic of the biome include the following:
It has both forest and grassland,
It has two major seasons, winter and summer; the summer season is usually very dry and last for about five months.
The dry summer makes the biome sensitive to fire outbreak, which is a common occurrence there.
The amount of rain available to the biome is about 10 - 17 inches per year and is only able to support shrubs growth, only few trees can be found in the biome.
The biome can be a plain, a rolling hill or a mountain and the soil is usually very dry.
This is an example of negative feedback.
After a big meal, glucose levels in the bloodstream increases. The body recognises this change and goes through homeostasis, or the regulation of bodily state or internal environment.
The pancreas secretes insulin, which then binds to insulin receptors. This will result in the uptake of excess glucose from the bloodstream into cells and converted into glycogen to be stored in cells as energy storage molecules.
Since there is the counter effect of body (i.e. when blood-glucose concentration increases, the body sends a signal to decrease the blood-glucose concentration, this is called a negative feedback (instead of a positive feedback, which occurs if for e.g. the body signals cells to increase blood-glucose concentration even after blood-glucose concentration increased after a heavy meal).
Hope this helps! :)
Natural Selection is the process where organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce and spread their traits into the next Generation. Over time this process allows organisms to adapt and evolve to their environment.
