  • parasitism - one organism causes harm to the other

Please help me with my question I will like and mark as brainliest ​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

During exercise your cells need energy to function. in order to do so they harness it through ATP. In order to get ATP the cells convert it to ADP usually through aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to function and the cells will use up all their oxygen stores for it. Cells will get more oxygen when the exercise has been completed through the pulmonary system delivering oxygenated blood to the cells and taking away the used CO2 rich blood.

AVprozaik [17]

Business Impact Analysis

Business Impact Analysis (BIA) refers to the method of determining the potential risks that a business will encounter when disaster strikes. It is the first step in the contingency planning process. Large businesses with strong disaster recovery planning programs put BIA into their programs, making it one of the important stages. Unless BIA has been conducted, the disaster recovery programs will not be fully developed since the output of BIA will ascertain the strategies and policies that will be in the disaster recovery program of the company.
