Answer:
C. Standing upright allowed for sightlines over tall grasses and savanna shrubbery
Explanation:
One of the most accepted theories about the development of bipedalism of the hominids is that it was mostly because of the tall grasses and shrubs, so standing upright was providing them with better view. Once the environment changed, and the tropical rainforest was turned into savanna, the hominid ancestors had to adapt in order to survive. Being helpless against the large predators, they needed something in order to be able to detect them from bigger distance so that they can avoid them. The solution seemed to be to be able to see above the tall grasses and shrubs, which meant that they started to use their legs more and more in order to stand up taller. This gradually led to better development of legs for upright standing and walking, also causing changes in the structure of the body, providing the hominids with an adaptation that enabled them to survive in the very dangerous environment.
Answer:
<u>Starch</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in plants and the glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkage.
<u>Cellulose </u>is a structural component of the plant cell wall and glucose molecules are linked by beta 1,4 glycosidic linkage.
<u>Glycogen</u> is the storage form of glucose (energy) in animals and glucose molecules are linked by alpha 1,6 glycosidic linkage.
Explanation:
All of these sugars are polysaccaride sugars containing large number of glucose subunits.
Starch is a polysaccharide extracted from agricultural raw materials. It contains amylose and amylopectin. Amylose is an un-branched chain polymer of D-glucose units while amylopectin is a branched chain polymer of D-glucose units.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, It is stored in muscles and liver and it is a branched polysaccaride.
Cellulose is the storage form of glucose in plants and leaves.
The right answer is: Leptin
.
Leptin is a hormone closely linked to the regulation of energy consumption and expenditure: appetite, metabolism, and hunger.
A hormone is a protein with a messenger function. This means that once released into the bloodstream, she goes to another part of the body to transmit a message to specific receptors.
Leptin is manufactured in white adipocytes (adipose tissue) where triglycerides (fats) are stored and acts on the hypothalamus.
The correct answer is: A. Species A had more massive jaw muscles than species.
Massive jaw muscles are correlated to more primitive diet. It is believed that shrinking jaw muscles is part of the evolution. It is the way for making the space for a bigger brain.
Answer:
Malignant melanoma cells would have active telomerases that constantly replenish and lengthen telomeres.
Explanation:
Telomerase can be described as enzymes which add the repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres can be described as repetitive sequences at the end of the chromosome which are involved in protecting the chromosome from any damage.
In a normal skin cell, the telomeres will shorten with time. But in a malignant skin cell, the telomerase will add the repetitive sequence again and again. The telomers will not be able to shorten.
