Answer: The main way the thermal energy is transferred from the rock to the lizard is by conduction.

The lizard stretches out and warms itself by lying on a warm rock. The rock becomes warm as the sun transfers its thermal energy by radiation to the rock. The thermal energy to the lizard by the rock is transferred by direct contact through conduction. The air above the rock and the lizard also gets heated up and the heat is transferred through convection.

The distant ancestors of tigers may have had bodies without stripes. Use the theory of natural selection to explain how tigers m
Degger [83]

The tigers have stripes because it is advantageous for them because they are an ambush predator and need good camouflage. The stripes are excellent camouflage for places that are shady, so the tiger can easily get close to its prey and attack it.

There's a very big possibility that the distant ancestors of the tigers did not had stripes. The reasons for that are different environment, but also that the stripes are actually a very rare type of pattern among the felidae family members.

As the environment started changing, the tigers needed to adapt to it, so they also needed a different camouflage. As some tigers in the population started to develop stripes, they were better hunters, thus were stronger, and seen as suitable mates for the females, as it would provide an offspring with the advantage that the male tiger has. Through this selection in the breeding process of mates that have advantageous camouflage patterns, the stripes were becoming more and more present, to the point where they totally pushed aside and eliminated the previously dominant camouflage pattern.

Why were Archaea and Bacteria grouped together by biologists until recently?
Norma-Jean [14]
Archaea and Bacteria were grouped together because they were both Prokaryotes since they had no nucleus. Scientists then realized they were different because archaea can live in extreme environments, and bacteria can't.

Of the following items listed below, which is the best description for why skeletal muscle stores glycogen? Of the following ite
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Skeletal muscle stores glycogen because it is a heavy consumer of energy.

Explanation:

Skeletal fiber contractions are based on different physiological and biochemical phenomena that happen in every cell and that need an amount of energy to occur. During muscle contraction, <em>myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, producing littles power strokes that, continuously, lead to muscle contraction</em>. To make this process possible, the muscle needs energy.  

Glycogen is a very important energetic reserve polysaccharide for animals. It is stored in the liver and muscles, and when the organism needs energy it degrades glycogen into glucose, which is an available form for the metabolism.  In the liver,<em> glycogen</em> is used to maintain constant levels of <em>blood glucose</em>. While in muscles, glycogen plays an important role in the glucose storage as a source of energy, needed and used only for contraction.

During muscle contraction, ATP molecules obtained from glucose are split to ADP and inorganic phosphate.
