Answer:

Nasal cavities are chambers of the internal nose that create openings to the outside world. We breathe through the nostrils and the inhaled air warmed as it moves further into the nasal cavities. The nasal conchae, protrudes and form spaces through which the air passes. The conchae turns the air around to allow the air time to humidify, warm, and be cleaned before it enters the lungs.

The pharynx is often referred to as throat. During breathing, it conducts air between the larynx and trachea (windpipe) and the nasal and the oral cavities.

The nasal cavity is a hollow space within the nose and skull that is lined with hairs and mucus membrane. The function of the nasal cavity is to warm, moisturize, and filter air entering the body before it reaches the lungs. The pharynx on the other hand referred to as the throat is part of both the digestive and respiratory systems. For the digestive system, its muscular walls function in the process of swallowing, and it serves as a pathway for the movement of food from the mouth to the esophagus.

Explanation:

Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and other organisms usually lacking soil, such as a lava flow or area left from retreated glacier, is deposited.[1] In other words, it is the gradual growth of an ecosystem over a longer period of time.[2][3]

Primary succession occurring over time. The soil depths increase with respect to the increase in decomposition of organic matter. and there is a gradual increase of species diversity in the ecosystem. The labels I-VII represent the different stages of primary succession. I-bare rocks, II-pioneers (mosses, lichen, algae, fungi), III-annual herbaceous plants, IV-perennial herbaceous plants and grasses, V-shrubs, VI-shade intolerant trees, VII-shade tolerant trees.

In contrast, secondary succession occurs on substrate that previously supported vegetation before an ecological disturbance from smaller things like floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires which destroyed the plant life.[4]

Why is maintaining a circadian rhythm important?
dem82 [27]

Maintenance of the circadian rhythm is important because  it helps keep the body's functions running normally.
Alteration of the circadian rhythm to  a significant degree may lead to mood disorders including mild depression and seasonal affective disorder.

Abrupt shifts in routine such as shift change  or travel resulting in jet lag can alter the sleep cycle and also environmental factors such as  decrease in number of daylight hours. This can negatively impact the  secretion of melatonin which induces us to sleep which will lead to less sleep and thus irritability and mood swings.
