How do biological systems respond when acids or bases are added?

Biology
1 answer:
Illusion [34]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is - They have substances that counteract acids or bases to prevent the pH from changing

Explanation:

All living organisms including humans are water-based systems, which implies that they rely intensely upon liquid equilibria, particularly acid-base equilibria. Hence, all the acid-base and pH ideas we have talked about so far are critical to the chemistry of organic or biological systems.

This is particularly significant for enzyme, which are proteins that go about as catalysts for all major biological reactions. Most enzymes just work inside a specific pH range. Because all natural cycles are subject to pH, cells and creatures must keep up a particular and consistent pH so as to keep their compounds in the ideal condition of protonation they have specific substances that counteract the acid and base to maintain pH.  

for instance:

The pH of the Cytoplasm is maintained by the phosphate ion

The pH of the blood is regulated by the bicarbonate ion

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution
grandymaker [24]

Hi!


The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.


In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process  which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.


Hope this helps!

What is an event of a convention current in the air
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Convection drives the circulation of air in the earth’s atmosphere. The sun heats the air near the earth’s equator, which becomes less dense and rises upward. As it rises, it cools and becomes less dense than the air around it, spreading out and descending toward the equator again.
