Some homeostatic imbalances cause a variable that is normally controlled by negative feedback to be abnormally controlled by pos

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Some deviations from normal homeostasis activate the positive feedback loops to control the conditions which are otherwise regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.

For example, the blood levels of respiratory gases and H+ ions are regulated by a negative feedback system via chemoreceptors. The increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas and lowered pH or lowered partial pressure of oxygen in the blood are sense by central and peripheral chemoreceptors which in turn activate the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group (DRG).

The activated DRG triggers an increased in the rate and depth of the breathing to facilitate the inhalation of more oxygen and exhalation of CO2 to restore the normal levels.  

However, hypocapnia inactivates the chemoreceptors and does not allow negative feedback to restore the normal CO2 levels in the blood.  

Under such conditions, the positive feedback loop stimulates the DRG neurons more strongly in response to the increased partial pressure of CO2 above the normal levels than when the partial pressure of oxygen falls below the normal level. These dangerously lowered oxygen levels may also cause fainting.

Algae are important in the formation of coral reefs.<br> Brown<br> Red<br> Fire<br> Golden-brown
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Red algae

Explanation:

Coral reefs are the structure which are one of the some most important underwater ecosystems of the world. They are characterized by the formation of roof-building corals which are basically the colonies of dead or living polyps(corals) attached together through deposition of calcium carbonate.

Red algae has an important role in the formation of coral reefs  because their thread like structure traps the particles present in the sand of water which ultimately gives the algae a mechanical support for their growth as well as the formation of coral reefs.

Hope it helps!

Energy:
ale4655 [162]

Answer: Option C.

Energy flows in one direction in ecosystem.

Explanation:

In the ecosystem, energy flow in one direction. Energy is transfered from one trophic level to another.

Energy is transfered from producers, majorly plants,convert sunlight to chemical energy during photosynthesis and transfer it to herbivores( goat, sheep ) when they eat plants,the herbivores after using the energy transfer energy to the carnivores when the carnivores feed on the herbivores and to decomposer who feed on dead animals.
