What happens when one organism eats another?

When one organism eats another, it is called predation. The predator (the organism that eats the other) benefits by obtaining nutrients and energy from the prey. The prey may be killed or harmed in the process.


What changes an organism that take place over time?

A change in an organism that takes place over time is called an adaptation. An adaptation happens when an organism needs to change in order to survive.


What happens to an organism if it homeostasis is disrupted and not restored?

If an organism's homeostasis is disrupted and not restored, it can lead to imbalances in internal conditions such as temperature, pH levels, or nutrient levels. This can result in cellular damage, organ dysfunction, and ultimately, death. The organism may experience a range of symptoms as its body struggles to cope with the disrupted homeostasis.


In what type of symbiosis is does one organism benefit and the other is harmed?

Parasitism is what happens when one organism benefits and the other is harmed. For example, think of fleas on a dog. The fleas are parasites because they are benefiting from living on the dog, but the dog is being harmed by the fleas.


Identify and describe how an organism could respond to an external stimulus and describe a response to an internal stimulus?

An example of an external stimulus is a painful prick (and any other stimulus that happens OUT side the organism ). The organism could respond by pulling away from the pain caused by the stimuli. An example of an internal stimulus is the feeling of hunger or thirst (or any other stimulus that happens IN side the organism). The organism could respond by eating or drinking. a behavior

What is the original organism decays leaving an imprint and an empty space?

Which type fossil is formed when an organism gets trapped in a developing rock layer and then decays away leaving an imprint of what the organism looked like?

A mold is a fossil created by the encasement of an organism in rock, where the organism decays away after solidification of the encasing structure, leaving behind an impression of the original organism. An additional stage is a cast, where the mold is back filled by sedements to create a solid model of the original organism.

What happens to the amount of nitrogen14 as the carbon14 decays?

As carbon-14 decays, it transforms into nitrogen-14 through the process of beta decay. So, the amount of nitrogen-14 increases as carbon-14 decays.
