<u>Answer</u>:

The term for the ability of muscles to be slightly contracted at all times to be ready to act is Muscle tone.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Regular partial contraction of the muscle or can be said as its resistance power to stretching during the resting phase. It helps in maintaining the posture of the body. The muscle tone occurs due to the hypotonia. This happens as the muscles depends upon the motor nerve signals which can be disrupted at the brain level, spinal cord or may be due to damage of muscle nerve. It can be measured with the stiffness which acts as a resistance to that of the passive movement.

Answer:

First, the activity that humans execute that affects their ecosystem positively is reforestation. Second, the activity that humans execute that affects their ecosystem positively is hunting. Their effects rely completely in nature, however, one improves the ecosystem by making it greener and increasing the space nature has to grow, while the other impacts the ecosystem negatively by unbalancing the food chain.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place the ecosystem is a very sensitive environment that can be affected by a wide range of factors. In the first place, reforestation helps the environment have better conditions for the animals that live in it, as well as to provide the human race a better quality of air, water and feel better after living in a more natural ecosystem. While hunting breaks the ecosystem's balance because it allows the food chain of the ecosystem to break and allow a general modification.
