Answer:
Slime molds, decompose decaying matter. The animal-like protists must "eat" or ingest food.
Explanation:
Answer: C. Positive feedback mechanisms are overwhelmed.
Explanation:
Homeostasis, is the maintenance of a normal internal environment, in the face of external and internal disturbances, so that the functions of cells and systems of the body are preserved. This is accomplished primarily through feedback systems, so when a system is disturbed, a diversity of local responses, systemic reflexes (rapid reactions and automatic stimuli) and long-term adjustments are activated to bring the system back to its normal equilibrium point.
Most systems are controlled by negative feedback mechanisms, with the controlled variable being able to "turn off" its release, in the same way as a thermostat controls the temperature of a room. So, in this context, too much positive feedback would be related to harmful effects, such as homeostatic imbalance.
Answer:
d. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is process utilized by plants, several bacteria and protists to convert the light energy to chemical energy. So they utilize the photosynthesis as the powerhouse for the energy production. Heterotrophs like human that cannot synthesize their own food, use this converted form of energy by autotrophs.
During the light reaction of photosynthesis the photons from light are absorbed by photosystem I and II. These photons excites the electrons which flow through the electron transport chain from higher potential to lower potential. These electrons release the energy while moving from higher potential to lower potential which is utilized by H+ pump to pump the H+ to lumen of plastids from stroma and of course not the 100% energy is utilized some of the energy dissipates. . So this process causes the accumulation of high potential H+ ions across the membrane. These H+ ions are utilized for the production of ATP by ATP synthase complex when they flow back to lower potential across the membrane through ATP synthase complex.
The ATP and NADPH produced from light reaction are utilized to combine carbon molecules during dark reaction. The covalent bond is used to combine the carbon molecules and we know that combining carbon molecules stores energy in the form of covalent bond.
Answer:
selective permeability
Explanation:
The property or characteristic of cellular membrane to allow certain substances to pass through the cell is known as selective permeability. The movement of molecules and ions across the cell can be active or passive.
Answer:
It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
