The answer is B, decomposers
Drug tolerance
Drug tolerance is a condition in
which a drug’s effect is reduced as an individual continues to use it. An
individual with a drug tolerance has to administer larger doses of the same
drug in order to obtain the same desired effect exhibited by the drug initially.
For the question given above, the phenomenon that Maurie is experiencing is called
drug tolerance.
Just took the quick check 100%!! Lets keep it 100.
1. B (Blood flows through a system of blood vessels and throughout the body)
2.C (I<span>n blood vessels and sinuses)
3.B (</span><span>Oysters do not move around, but squid are very active)
4.D (</span><span>It is difficult for single pump to force blood through the entire system of a large animal)
5.A (</span><span>Exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen from the air)</span>
When we drink less water or we are dehydrated the body will compensate for 1-2% of the total amount of water by creating a sensation of thirst. The kidneys, brain, hormones and glands work in co-ordination monitoring the amount of water consumed to the amount of water lost.
The hypothalamus gland regulates the temperature of our body and balances the processes to control the amount of fluids in body. On detecting less amount of water in blood the hypothalamus gives signals for releasing the anti-diuretic hormone which causes kidneys to remove lesser amount of water from the blood. As a result of this we urinate less and the urine is concentrated dark in appearance. The brain also signals to consume water or liquid to bring the hydration level of the body to normal.
Homeostasis is an organism's attempt to maintain a stable unchanging interior environment despite external influences. High levels of glucose in the blood affects the homeostasis of a human, as a response insulin is secreted from the pancreas into the bloodstream and directly to organs (mainly the liver). Insulin receptors are cell membrane bound protein receptors, when the insulin receptors are fully functioning insulin will bind to the insulin receptors, this binding sets off a very complex reaction within the cell that will make the cell take actions to reduce the blood-glucose levels. If the insulin receptors are faulty the insulin will never bind to cells and set off these reactions, therefore the blood glucose level will remain high. A high blood glucose level is dangerous and will result in <span>hyperglycemia and death if untreated. Diabetes is not normally caused by faulty insulin receptors although the body would react very similarly to a diabetes patient if the insulin receptors were faulty.
