Ecosystem is that it is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment.

For instance, tropical forests are ecosystems made up of living beings such as trees, plants, animals, insects and micro-organisms that are in constant interaction between themselves and that are affected by other physical (sun, temperature) or chemical (oxygen or nutrients) components.


An ecosystem consists of a community of organisms together with their physical environment.
Ecosystems can be of different sizes and can be marine, aquatic, or terrestrial. Broad categories of terrestrial ecosystems are called biomes.
In ecosystems, both matter and energy are conserved. Energy flows through the system—usually from light to heat—while matter is recycled.
Ecosystems with higher biodiversity tend to be more stable with greater resistance and resilience in the face of disturbances, or disruptive events.

pochemuha

Answer:

using energy released from breaking high-energy covalent bonds in organic molecules to force ATP formation from ADP and phosphate.

Explanation:

The cellular respiration involves the generation of energy for bodily activities. This is technically known as the Kreb's Cycle or citric acid cycle. This is the process through which the intracellular metabolism of glucose takes place. Specialized organelles, called mitochondria are responsible for the process. The organelles ensure that the breaking of the high energy phosphate bonds in the ATP monocle generate energy. Overally, the process is a hydrolysis process. This involves the movement of the hydrogen ions an the generation of 38 high energy phosphate bond breakages.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

A nerve impulse from one neuron affects the activity of a neighboring neuron at a point of interaction called the: SYNAPSE

Explanation:

A NEURON(or nerve cell) has 3 parts:

1. The dendrites(multiple)

2. The axon

3. The cell body

A SYNAPSE is an area where the dendrites of one neuron communicates with the axon of another neuron.

At the synapse, nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to the other. This is possible through substances called NEUROTRANSMITTERS. There is no direct contact between the axon of one neuron and dendrites of another neuron.

dezoksy [38]
A virus is a microscopic parasite that infects cells in biological organisms, they reproduce only by invading and controlling other cells as they lack the cellular machinery for self reproduction. Additionally, viruses contain at least one unique protein synthesized by specific genes in the nucleic acid, the proteins forms a shell called capsid around the nuclei acid.
