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

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

His conclusion is correct. We are overpopulated. Our planet cannot stand double the population it currently has. Waste for one thing is an unsolvable problem with 14 billion people on the planet. We are already in massive trouble with 7 billion.

But the moral principle involved is not correct. Laws have been set up that prevents us from killing each other off. Holocausts have solved nothing but that we are capable of mass murder. The population problem and all it's side effects have not been eradicated.

The Bible records God's attempt at doing what Thanos wanted to do. He saw immediately after the flood that was not the answer. Too many people is one thing. Murdering half is no answer that will work.

NemiM [27]

Answer: Option B - There are more than four genes that determine this trait.

Explanation:

The tobacco plant species have its leaf colour with characteristics that changes gradually over a range of values, which refers to continuous variation.

Note that continuous variation keep expressing gene variants in successive generations of the tobacco plants, that differs from the parents. So, there are MORE THAN four genes controling the expression of varying phenotypes in the leaves

How did the concept of biodiversity originally gain traction in the scientific community?

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:Raymond Dasmann was the first person who used the term Biological diversity in 1968. He was a wildlife scientist and conservationist. But this term gain attraction in the scientific community in the 1980s.

So during 1980s the scientific community and activists were concerned about the extinction of biodiversity so this topic gain attraction as a research subject among the scientific community.

The issue of biodiversity was first published in 1987 in journal Conservation Biology which soon popularized the concept of biodiversity and became the main journal for publication of scientific research on biodiversity.

Therefore through publication, the term biodiversity appeared which gain attraction in the scientific community, society and in politics.
