How does survival of the fittest help keep the ecosystem balanced

The former means those most fit, those with the best set of skills and features for the given environment, will live to pass on the said features in the offspring (with ants, for example, being incredibly fit and adaptable creatures). The latter suggests there is an objective way to measure the "meaningfulness" of each species and having only those most meaningful survive. But this differs from species to species - for a house cat, the great white shark is utterly meaningless.

Also, the meaningful animal has no actual advantage over another to help him survive, whereas fittness is exactly that - it is the ability to survive, ability to pass on your genes.

While I understand it may seem so in the case of domestic animals that the most meaningful to the human are those allowed to reproduce, it is actually the same law: those most adapted for human purpose (which, of course, in the given case means the most meaningful) ARE the fittest here in the human-controlled environment.

The route of non-fat nutrients from the small intestine to their release as nutrients to the body can vary depending upon the type of nutrient. They can be transported either by passive or active transporters, or through blood stream, or may be absorbed by water.

Small intestine is a part of the digestive system. Its function is to digest the various food components, specially fats and proteins. Small intestine is a very large tube-like structure that is fit compactly surrounded by the large intestine.

Explain the function of the nervous system

Nady [450]

Answer:

The structural components of the nervous system enables it to carry out the following functions:

1). collect information about changes in the organism's environment (both internal and external).

2). process the information; and

3). act up on the information.

The nervous system carries out its functions efficiently and extremely rapidly since information and instructions speed as electric impulses along nerve from one part of the body to another almost instantaneously.

The basic structural unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell or neurone which consists of a dense cell body and protoplasmic processes collectively known as nerve fibre.
