Answer: It means to guide and regulate chemical and physical parameters to keep your body or environment in a constate state for proper functioning.
Explanation: This is called homeostasis. The body has systems in place to monitor its components such as cells, organs and any other molecule needed to maintain life and good health. The body needs to maintain its temperature at 37°C, pH of blood at 7.4, water balance, osmotic pressure, growth rate and tissue repairs whenever it dictates the need, danger of infection or injury.
All of these form an integral part of a healthy living organism and it needs to always be stable, regulated and monitored. This is called maintaining homeostasis.
During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight to create fuel—glucose and other sugars—for building plant structures. This process forms the foundation of the fast (biological) carbon cycle. ... In all four processes, the carbon dioxide released in the reaction usually ends up in the atmosphere.
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
Plant blindness refers to "the inability to see or notice the plants in one's own environment." The term plant blindness was coined twenty years ago by Elizabeth Schussler and James Wandersee who are botanists. Plant blindness results in "the inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in human affairs." It is also the reason why people have a tendency of ranking “plants as inferior to animals”. Therefore, plants tend to receive limited care and upkeep. It is important to recognize plant blindness so that more intentional care can be given to preserving our plant species and ensure their survival and ability to thrive.
Answer:
C) The benthic invertebrates would decrease in population size because they are eaten by the sea ducks and the phytoplankton would increase in population size.
Explanation:
The benthic invertebrates are eaten by sea ducks. Sea ducks are eaten by bald eagles. If the bald eagle was removed, there would be more sea ducks because they will have no more predators. Since there are more sea ducks, they will need to eat more food, like benthic invertebrates. The benthic invertebrates would have a lower population because the sea ducks eat more of them.
Why not the other answers:
A) The bivalves would not increase in population size. Without the bald eagle preying on sea ducks, there would be more sea ducks, who need to eat more food, such as eating more bivalves.
The phytoplankton would not decrease. With sea ducks eating more food, more benthic invertebrates are eaten. There would be less benthic invertebrates to eat phytoplankton.
B) Tundra swans were never eaten by bald eagles. There is no arrow connecting them.
D) Wading birds were never eaten by ospreys. There is no arrow connecting them.
