2. Suppose a paleontologist discovered a fossil skull that he believes might be distantly related to primates. Unlike true prima

tes, the face is not quite flat and the eyes do not face completely forward. The paleontologist would most likely conclude that the animal lacked (1 point) a) the ability to form extended family groups. b) the ability to grip branches precisely. c) the ability to manipulate tools. d) the ability to judge the location of tree branch.

Answer:

d) the ability to judge the location of tree branch.

Explanation:

An anatomical feature for the primates group is the stereoscopic vision, they can recognize shapes because theirs eyes face forward with overlap in the visual fields, as an advantage for an animal that moves in the tops of big trees. Different to the fossil skull because its eyes do not face completely forward. Forward facing eyes give better depth perception and allow  better view of what is in front therefore there is less need for a longer snout and the faces are flatter different to the fossil.

It has been speculated that the face flatter and the eyes face forward have evolved to aid the process of moving through trees from branch to branch and that forward facing eyes are ideal for depth perception because of the need to be able to see exactly what is in front .  this is called as “arboreal locomotion theory”. The fossil discovered couldn´t be very good moving through trees.

To efficiently provide the ideal amount of nitrogen fertilizer, some farmers make use of a "chlorophyll meter" that measures the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplast in plants. It absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. It is a chelate molecule. In a chelate molecule a central metal ion forms bonds with a large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen or oxygen.

In chlorophyll, magnesium is the central metal ion and it is bonded to a large organic molecule called as porphyrin. Porphyrin constitutes four nitrogen atoms to which the central magnesium is bonded in square planar arrangement. Since chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of the leaves, more the green color more the chlorophyll content and more is the nitrogen content. Hence, chlorophyll meter measures this green light and finds out if the plant needs more or less nitrogen.

Give one example of how the testing of Platismatia glauca could benefit future ecological research of this forest.
storchak [24]

Answer:

Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.

hope this helps:)
