Human activities that degrade ecosystems result in a loss of diversity of the living and nonliving environment. Two ways in which humans frequently harm ecosystems and affect other organisms is through land use and pollution.

How does land use cause a reduction in biodiversity?
A.
It provides a more hospitable living environment.
B.
It decreases the space and resources available to certain species.
C.
It causes all the natural Earth cycles to stop.
D.
It causes herbivores to become carnivorous.

the correct answer is b

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.

true skin; another name for the dermis. lies directly beneath the epidermis and is often referred to as the true skin. outermost layer of epidermis, consisting of dead cells.
