Answer:

The <u>biological species concept</u> is not very useful in defining plant species.

Explanation:

The biological species concept says that <em>species are population groups that, in a real or potential way, can reproduce and that </em><em>are reproductively isolated from other groups.</em>

<em>Individuals belonging to a species cannot reproduce with members of other species. </em>

This biological concept has limitations. Its application might present difficulties in concern with asexual reproduction species, such as bacteria, rotifer, cnidarians, plants, and etcetera.

Besides, this concept cannot be applied to the past because it is difficult to deduce reproductive capability between extinct species.

Finally, this concept is not adequate in concern to hybridization zones, something to be expected considering evolutionary processes. This is why this concept has been less accepted by botanists, as some plant species hybridize with other species. For example, species Quercus grisea and Quercus gambelii have overlapping ranges in the southwestern United States. Hybrids showing variation in leaf shape and other traits have been found in many places in this area.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Mechanisms are activated where it is sought to lower the amount of free protons in the blood, that is, to reduce acidity, these mechanisms work between two large systems, the receptor system, the respiratory system and the renal system.

Explanation:

When a metabolic acidosis is entered, either by a food, or by a disease or even an intense physical activity, the lungs seek to generate hyperventilation, to increase the concentrations of oxygen in plasma and absolutely decrease the carbon dioxide concentration, thus not the blood becomes even more acidic.

On the other hand, the digestive system together with the sensory system, will warn this proprioception of the acidity of the plasma and will promote the dilution of these acids with a solvent, which is water, promoting the sensation of thirst.

Finally, the kidneys will seek to retain all the alkaline solutes to neutralize the physiological internal pH, and will release through the urine and the channels of acidic compounds, the products or acid metabolites to the external environment, that is, acid urine excretion.
