A red blood cell, starting from the heart's right atria is a deoxygenated red blood cell containing unoxygenated hemoglobin or carbaminohemoglobin (since it contains carbon dioxide instead of oxygen). This gives deoxygenated blood its chocolate-brown color. This red blood cell will be pumped to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve then to the pulmonary circulation through the pulmonary valve. In the pulmonary circulation, there will be gas exchange in the alveoli of the lungs wherein carbon dioxide will dissociate from the hemoglobin and will be replaced with oxygen. Hemoglobin will now be called oxyhemoglobin and this gives oxygenated blood its bright red color. Hemoglobin in red blood cell can hold up to 4 molecules of oxygen. Now, from the pulmonary circulation, the red blood cell will go to the left atria through the pulmonary veins then to the left ventricle through the mitral valve then to the aorta and systemic circulation through the aortic valve. In the systemic circulation, oxygen is replaced by carbon dioxide (end-products of cellular respiration) and then will be transported back to the heart, particularly in the right atrium. This is called the cardiac cycle.

In terms of ecosystem stability and predator-prey interactions, what is the concern over declining krill populations
yKpoI14uk [10]

Declining krill populations will have catastrophic consequences for ecosystem homeostasis and it will increase the levels of phytoplankton.

<h3>What is ecosystem homeostasis?</h3>

The term ecosystem homeostasis makes reference to the state of equilibrium between different species in an ecosystem.

Krill are fundamental primary consumers in aquatic environments and they eat autotrophic phytoplankton.

In conclusion, declining krill populations will have catastrophic consequences for ecosystem homeostasis and it will increase the levels of phytoplankton.

List 2 types of weathering and list all examples
joja [24]

Weathering breaks down and loosens the surface minerals of rock so they can be transported away by agents of erosion such as water, wind and ice. There are two types of weathering: mechanical and chemical.

1.each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, comprising organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to the primary sources of energy.

A scavenger is an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass, such as meat or rotting plant material. Many scavengers are a type of carnivore, which is an organism that eats meat. While most carnivores hunt and kill their prey, scavengers usually consume animals that have either died of natural causes or been killed by another carnivore.

Scavengers are a part of the food web, a description of which organisms eat which other organisms in the wild. Organisms in the food web are grouped into trophic, or nutritional, levels. There are three trophic levels. Autotrophs, organisms that produce their own food, are the first trophic level. These include plants and algae. Herbivores, or organisms that consume plants and other autotrophs, are the second trophic level. Scavengers, other carnivores, and omnivores, organisms that consume both plants and animals, are the third trophic level.

Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation. The majority of nitrogen is fixed by bacteria, most of which are symbiotic with plants. Recently fixed ammonia is then converted to biologically useful forms by specialized bacteria.
