Answer:

The differences are given below ↓

Nervous System

  • Electrical impulses are the messengers in the nervous system
  • Brain and the spinal cord constitute the nervous system
  • Nerve impulses are transmitted through neurons
  • The nervous system is under both voluntary and involuntary control
  • Nerve impulses make use of the neurotransmitters at synaptic clefts and sodium and potassium channels and enter the target cells
  • Responses are localised

Chemical (Endocrine) System

  • Hormones are the chemical messengers in the endocrine system that target cells through the bloodstream
  • Glands and organs like thyroid, pituitary glands and reproductive organs (ovaries and testes) are involved in the endocrine system
  • Hormones are transmitted through blood vessels
  • The endocrine system is under involuntary control
  • The hormones enter into the target cells by diffusing through the plasma membrane or by binding to the cell receptors
  • Responses are widespread

Answer:

Trophic level

Consumer

Producer

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.

A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.

Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

A cyclist starts a race. As she pedals, she begins to breath faster. Why? plz answer fast!!!
Advocard [28]

Answer: Her body begins doing cellular respiration

Explanation: She needs her electron transport chain to function to produce 34+ ATP. The E.T.C. Needs oxygen to work, so she needs to increase her oxygen input. She breathes more to increase the flow of oxygen. Her heart also beats faster because she needs more oxygen to spread to her body.
