seropon [69]3 years ago

Answer:

inhibits ADH release

Explanation:

Alcoll inhibits the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or vasopressin, into the neurohypophysis, resulting in less water absorption in the distal tubules and collectors in the kidney and, consequently, increased urination and more diluted urine. The major metabolite of ethyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, also inhibits ADH secretion. Suppressive changes in aldosterone and renin concentrations are also observed, as adequate levels of these hormones regulate the absorption of water and nutrients in the kidneys. For this reason, drinking alcohol causes an increase in urine output.

Explain how changing temperature leads to an unstable ecosystem
cestrela7 [59]
An ecosystem composes of an environment and the organisms that interact with said environment. Changing temperature leads to an unstable ecosystem because of two things; failure of adaptation for the environment, or failure of adaptations for the animals.
If the environment fails to adapt to a change in temperature, plants will die, thus causing herbivores to die and the whole food web/chain to disrupt. (Im not really going in to deep detail, but plants can die from the soil failing to fertilize.)
For animals, it may also disrupt the food chain, but natural resources such as water may be needed more in the heat. If said animal doesnt have the adaptations to compete in such an event, they die. Also, especially if the environment was previously a desert, all adaptations will be useless, and other animals will start to move in. More competition. Not only that, if the ecosystems temperature decreases, for example, many animals might die from the cold and such. They do not hibernate/ have the adaptations of an animal that lives in the cold.

All in all, changing temperature can cause an unstable ecosystem because it can disrupt the food chain/web, kill plants, kill animals, cause an increase of animals, cause a decrees of natural resources (such as water) and much more.

(Sorry for grammar, I'm on mobile and not really paying attention to it. im not really double checking my spelling because im trying to give you the information, not really write it for you as that would be too much work)

When the adaptive feature is enhanced by female choice, it is referred to as of what?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

S3xual selection as a consequence of female choice is easy to understand, provided we are willing to accept that female preferences exist. If females show a preference, then males with the preferred trait will leave greater numbers of offspring, and their trait values will tend to increase in frequency in the population.
