Biology
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
4 0

The type of organisms that take energy by eating up other organisms in an ecosystem are called 'CONSUMERS'. Now these consumers are further divided into three major classes:

1. Primary consumers: this type of consumers feed directly from the producers (plants) and they only eat grass, leaves, vegetables, etc. Such animals are also called herbivores. Example: rabbit

2. Secondary consumers: these are the animals that eat up primary consumers (animals that feed only on plants). These animals are called carnivores. Example: snake

3. Tertiary consumers: animals that eat carnivores which eats a herbivore are called tertiary consumers. They can be completely carnivore or omnivore (who feed on animals and plants both). Example: humans (they feed on animals and plants both)

Write one function of uric acid​
OlgaM077 [116]

Antioxidant

Explanation:

Most serum uric acid is freely filtered in kidney glomeruli, and approximately 90% of filtered uric acid is reabsorbed, implying that it has a considerable physiological role [2], [5]. In humans, over half the antioxidant capacity of blood plasma comes from uric acid [5], [6]. Uric acid is a strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxynitrite scavenger and antioxidant [5], [6], [7], [8]. High levels of uric acid are readily detected in the cytosol of normal human and mammalian cells, especially in the liver [9], vascular endothelial cells, and in human nasal secretions, where it serves as an antioxidant
