Answer:

There is an important relationship among  homeostasis, defective mitochondria, and the  symptoms caused by LHON.

Explanation:

There is a great relationship among  homeostasis, defective mitochondria and the  symptoms caused by LHON because defective mitochondria disturbs the homeostasis in the body. If mitochondria works properly, homeostasis will be maintained whereas if there is any defect occurs in the mitochondria then the whole homeostasis will be adversely affected because mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell responsible for the production of energy for the cell. Symptoms occurs due to Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) also effected the state of equilibrium in the body.

Predominantly multicellular not in bacteria but in human body

*Cell contains a nucleus and other membrane bound organelles not in bacteria but in human body..

*DNA occurs in a circular form* in bacteria only..

* Ribosomes size in bacteria 70s and in human body 80s

*Capable of growth at temperatures greater than 80 C only in bacteria

*His tone proteins present in cell only in human body cells

NikAS [45]
In photosynthetic cells, synthesis of ATP by the chemi-osmotic mechanism occurs during photosynthesis and respiration. Plants can only achieve photosynthesis during the day and then respire during the night because photosynthesis requires the sun's energy to perform the necessary reaction to produce oxygen.

an organism's Fitness describes how well it is adapted to its environment the environment is made of biotic and abiotic factors
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Both biotic and abiotic factors affect the survival and reproductive success rate of fishes in an ecosystem.

The number of predators that a particular type of fish will have will influence the survival and reproductive rate of that fish. An increased number of predators will mean that the fishes will not be able to survive in that ecosystem and will be eaten up.

The number of preys will also affect the survival rate of fishes in an environment. The lesser the number of preys, the more the competition for food among species.

Abiotic factors like the concentration of salts in water will also influence the survival and reproduction of fishes. If a fish is not adapted to live in saline water conditions, then accumulation of salts in the ecosystem might destroy the whole fish species in that ecosystem.

Human activities, like the throwing of wastes into the aquatic ecosystem, drainage of fertilizers in the aquatic system can also destroy the survival and reproduction rate of a particular kind of aquatic animal species.
