Answer:

Convergent Evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution occurs when two unrelated species that have no common ancestor evolve independently in order to adapt to a similar environmental constraints to ensure survival.

An example of convergent evolution can be seen in birds, bats, flight/wing insects. They all do not share a common ancestor, but have evolved, separately, a similar structure for flight.

Another example can be seen in dolphins and sharks. These two different species share similar physical characteristics that make them adapt well in marine habitat that helps them to predate .

Jenny is trying to describe a wave. Which example would be the best description?
hoa [83]
<span>I believe the answer would be B - the toy car would hit another toy car that would in turn hit another toy car, and so on. A wave has a ripple effect, so it will continue to happen down the line, until there is a force that stops it, or there are no more cars to hit.</span>

Which of the following is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most ecosystems?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy   is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.

in figure 33-5 identify the four chambers of the heart then use them to describe the path through which blood travels in the hea
viva [34]

Answer:

c. Left atrium

j. right atrium

f. left ventricle

g. right ventricle

Explanation:

The heart consists of four chambers that is two ventricles and two articles.

Blood enters the right atrium goes into the right ventricle.

The right ventricle then pumps blood into the lungs where the blood gets oxygenated.

Pulmonary vein then brings back the blood from lungs into the left ventricle, blood is pumped into the left atrium and out of the heart.

That is the process through which blood navigates in the heart.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:

Which of the following best explains the reactions of these enzymes?

A) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

B) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

C) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

D) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

The answer is A

Explanation:

In nature, MONOMERS are simpler units that come together to form larger units called POLYMERS. According to this question, Amylase converts carbohydrate polymers to monomers while Glycogen synthase converts carbohydrate monomers to polymers.

Monomers of carbohydrate are joined together by adding water molecule to form covalent bonds between the monomer units, hence, forming a POLYMER. This is how Glycogen synthase catalyzes its reaction of forming carbohydrate polymer (glycogen).

On the other hand, Amylase breaks down large polymer molecules into monomers by removing water molecules in a process called HYDROLYSIS. This breaks the covalent bond that holds the monomeric units together.
