Answer: Ecological succession is the gradual process by which ecosystems change and develop over time. Nothing remains the same and habitats are constantly changing.

There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary.

Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. For example, a newly quarried rock face or sand dunes.

Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. For example, after felling trees in a woodland, land clearance or a fire.

What structural component gives arteries the ability to passively adapt to changes in blood pressures that accompany the heartbe

Andrews [41]

Answer: elastic fibers

Explanation:

Elastic fibres are the essential durable component present in mammalian connective tissueand functions to provide proper pulmonary, cardiovascular and intestinal system structure and function. Their structural function is to provide elastic recoil and resilience for the tissues.

Elastin fibers ahve two main including microfibrils and elastin containing fibrillin play a mechanical and structural role in the arteries, and their important function is to provide the tissues with resilience and elasticity.

Hence, elastic fibers helps arteries to adapt to changes in blood pressures that accompany the heartbeat.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

An electrochemical Gradient

Explanation:

During the translation of mRNA to protein, the nascent polypeptide chain that is formed is not yet a functional protein right after translation. The polypeptide must then undergo another series of processing and packaging and may even need another protein(s) to completely form a functional moiety. Generally, for this a mix of chaperones may be needed to complete the protein synthesis pathway.
