Energy use within an organism can be triggered by several conditions, including physical activity, metabolic demands during growth or reproduction, and physiological stressors such as temperature changes or illness. Additionally, energy use can increase in response to nutrient availability, where the need for energy to metabolize food is heightened. Hormonal signals, such as those from adrenaline during stress or insulin after a meal, also play a significant role in regulating energy expenditure.
the range of conditions within which the organism can live and function
homeostasis
A tolerance curve shows the range of environmental conditions within which an organism can survive and thrive. It indicates the upper and lower limits of factors such as temperature, pH, or salinity that the organism can tolerate. Beyond these limits, the organism may experience stress, illness, or death.
An organism's range of tolerance refers to the range of environmental conditions within which it can survive and function. The optimum conditions are the specific environmental conditions at which the organism thrives best. The range of tolerance indicates the flexibility an organism has in adapting to varying conditions, with the optimum conditions representing the most favorable environment for its growth and reproduction.
Stable
An organism's address refers to the specific location where it lives within its habitat. This can include details such as the type of ecosystem, the climate conditions, and the specific niche or microhabitat within the larger environment.
The space where an organism lives is referred to as its habitat, while the role it plays within its ecosystem is known as its ecological niche. The habitat provides the necessary resources and conditions for the organism's survival, such as food, shelter, and mates. The ecological niche encompasses the organism's interactions with other species, its behavior, and its contribution to energy flow and nutrient cycling in the ecosystem. Together, these concepts help define how organisms fit into and interact with their environment.
Regulatory stimuli refer to external factors or signals that trigger a regulatory response in an organism, functioning to maintain homeostasis or control physiological processes. These stimuli can include changes in temperature, pH, or nutrient levels that prompt a specific biological response in order to maintain internal balance within the organism.
Imperialism led to conflict over colonial resource, labor, and markets (APEX)
Abnormal conditions within the tissues of an organism. This can range from infectious diseases to cancer to degenerative issues.
The term that refers to the particular way an organism obtains energy is "trophic level." This concept describes the position of an organism in a food chain, indicating its source of energy and nutrients. Organisms at different trophic levels play specific roles in energy transfer within an ecosystem.
The flow of energy refers to the movement of energy through a system or ecosystem. It involves the transfer of energy from one organism to another as they interact within a food chain or food web. This transfer of energy ultimately sustains life and ecosystem functioning.
