What Goes it say about the sustainability of our lifestyle? Explain. (B) The world's ecosystems provide many valuable services, that we all benefit from. Yet, these services are often undervalued and taken for granted. Why? For full credit, provide an example with at least one specific ecosystem service.

D) exhibit homeoștasis. Question 33 How do the resource management sciences differ from ecology? Question 33 options: A) The management sciences focus on natural history. B) Ecology is an applied science. C) They focus on human impacts on ecology. D) They are applied sciences. Question 34 The most comprehensive level of biological organization is the Question 34 options: A) population B) ecosystem C) species D) ecospherearrow_forwardIn class we discussed several feedback processes including homeostasis, predator-prey relationships, and viral social media content. We then extended the idea to feedbacks of the climate system in response to climate change. We saw that feedbacks can be thought of generally by considering a) a system described by one or more state variables; b) an equilibrium established by a balance or rates affecting those state variables; c) an external change or perturbation; d) a process that modifies the rates to amplify or damp the perturbation. Please provide three examples of interesting systems with feedbacks. One example could be a climate feedback; the others should be novel examples (i.e. systems we didn't discuss in class). For each system please describe the state variables, the rates that establish the equilibrium, some external change, and one or more feedback processes. Characterize the feedback(s) as positive or negative.arrow_forwardEcology as a discipline directly deals with all of the following levels of biological organization except a Population A) Population B) Cellular C) Organism D) Communityarrow_forward
