Biological systems are affected by disruptions to their dynamic homeostasis.
Disruptions at the molecular and cellular levels affect the health of the organism.
Examples:
- Physiological responses to toxic substances
- Dehydration
- Immunological responses to pathogens, toxins and allergens
Disruptions to ecosystems impact the dynamic homeostasis or balance of the ecosystem.
Examples:
- Invasive and/or eruptive species
- Human impact
- Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, fires
- Water limitation
- Salination
Students should be able to:
LO 2.28 Use representations or models to analyze quantitatively or qualitatively the effects of disruptions to dynamic homeostasis in biological systems.
