Answer:
The correct answer is - natural selection.
Explanation:
Natural selection is a process of adapting according to the environmental change in order to survive and reproduce and increase their number. It is represented by Darwin for the first time. Natural selection leads to evolution.
In this case, White moths adapt according to the environment by increasing the population of black moths in order to blend with the surrounding and as the result, black moths are more likely to produce and survive and passed this trait to the next generation.
Answer:
An example of a pathological condition that affects the skeleton is Osteoporosis
.
Explanation:
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects the skeleton in which the quality and density of bone are reduced. In this condition, the chances are high for easy bone fracture as they become fragile. Bone density takes place in very silently but progressively.
Osteoporosis condition leads to higher bone loss (osteoblast) than the growth of new bone (osteoclast). Bones become like a honeycomb, fragile and easy to fracture. This pathological condition generally occurs due to the imbalance of hormones that are a parathyroid hormone, estrogen, and to a lesser extent of testosterone.
This condition can be prevented by proper diet and appropriate amount of protein and vitamin D.
Answer:
1. antibodies
2. hormones
3. kidney stones
4. transport proteins
5. protein-energy malnutrition
6. coenzymes
7. buffer
8. kwashiorkor
Explanation:
1. ANTIBODIES are proteins that aid the immune system in its fight against bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substance by binding to them and helping to inactivate or destroy them.
2. HORMONES are substances made of protein or lipid released into the bloodstream in order to direct physiological activity in the body.
3. A high-protein diet can increase the risk of KIDNEY STONES because the body will have an increased acid level.
4. TRANSPORT PROTEINS carry many substances through the blood or allow movement of substances in and out of cells.
5. PROTEIN-ENERGY MALNUTRITION is the phenomenon used to describe an inadequate intake of proteins and/or calorie content.
6. COENZYMES are molecules that play vital roles in the function of an enzyme. Coenzyme in form of vitamins are utilized by enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.
7. Proteins can act like BUFFER (a substance with a stable pH) in order to regulate the acid-base balance in the body.
8. KWASHIORKOR is a malnutrition deficiency that result from the insufficiency of dietary protein, resulting in swelling in the feet, legs, and stomach among other symptoms.
The blood electrolytes—sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate—help regulate nerve and muscle function and maintain acid-base balance and water balance. ... Thus, the kidneys help maintain a balance between daily consumption and excretion of electrolytes and water.
