Desertification extends beyond the expansion of existing deserts to include land degradation due to human activity in drylands. Land degradation destroys or reduces the productivity of the soil, and is caused by excessive and unsustainable activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, poor land management, soil salinization, and soil erosion.
Sure hope this helps you :D
Has trouble moving more nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane
Worms, decomposers, predators.
Remains the same: proton pumping rate, electron transport rate, rate of oxygen uptake
Decreases or goes to zero: Rate of ATP synthesis, size of the proton gradient
<span>(Gramicidin causes membranes to become very leaky to protons, so that a proton gradient cannot be maintained and ATP synthesis stops. However, the leakiness of the membrane has no effect on the ability of electron transport to pump protons. Thus, the rates of proton pumping, electron transport, and oxygen uptake remain unchanged.)</span>
I would say C because our body is continuously changing through puberty. We need more sleep, more food consumption, we need to have fantastic hygiene, etc...
