Which of the following statements is an important consequence of the first law of thermodynamics for a living organism? The ener

gy content of an organism is constant. Organisms grow by converting energy into organic matter. An organism ultimately must obtain all of the necessary energy for life from its environment. The entropy of an organism decreases with time as the organism grows in complexity.

An organism ultimately must obtain all of the necessary energy for life from its environment

Answer:

An organism ultimately must obtain all of the necessary energy for life from its environment.

Explanation:

The First Law of Thermodynamics is also known as the law of conservation of energy. This law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it only can change its form. The energy in a closed system remains constant.

All the organisms require energy to perform their life processes. The ultimate source of energy is the sun.  The energy is supplied by the sun is used by green plants to synthesise food (glucose), chemical energy. Thus, light energy is converted to chemical energy. The chemical energy is transferred to animals through food chains.

.The pollen-producing structures of gymnosperms are locked away in cones and generally not accessible to insects. What mechanism
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Wind

Explanation:

Gymnosperms can be described as plants which lack flowers and fruits.

As they do not have flowers to attract insects like the angiosperms, they can, however, transfer their pollen through the wind. As pollen is very light in weight hence, it can be transported by the wind. The pollen transported by the wind usually results in self-pollination as the wind is not able to take the pollen to long distances.

Why do the circulatory systems of land vertebrates have separate circuits to the lungs and to the rest of the body?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Because it prevents venous blood from mixing with arterial blood (which is rich in oxygen), in this way the circulation is more efficient.

Explanation:

In land vertebrates, the blood circulation is structured in two independent circuits: the pulmonary circulation, where oxygenation of the blood occurs and the elimination of the carbonic anhydride that it contains, returning back to the heart through its left atrium; and the systemic or major circulation, impelled from the left ventricle, transports the oxygenated blood and the nutrients that it assimilates as it passes through the digestive system, to the tissues of the animal, where it is charged again with anhydride carbonic and other waste substances, returning back to the heart, where it enters through the right atrium. These systems are independent and prevents venous blood (which is poor in oxygen) from mixing with arterial blood. These systems are independent and prevents venous blood (which is poor in oxygen) from mixing with arterial blood.

In a two-point test cross, 36 of the offspring were recombinant types. The remaining 64 offspring were parental types. How many
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

36

Explanation:

A two-point test-cross is a cross between an individual with a double heterozygote genotype and a homo-zygous recessive individual in order to determine the recombination frequency between two linked genes. In genetics, one map unit (m.u.) can be defined as the measure of the distance (i.e., genetic distance instead of physical distance) between genes for which one (1) product of meiosis in one hundred (100) is recombinant. In this case, 36 of the offspring have the recombinant phenotype, while the remaining 64 offspring are not recombinant, and therefore both genes are separated by 36 mu (64 + 36 = 100 >> 36 mu).

A few characteristics of the turtle are listed below: segmented body jaws and limbs no hair no placenta used during reproduction
Eddi Din [679]

The turtle is a slow animal, a terrestrial or marine reptile of the order of the Testudines in the subclass of Chelonians, characterized by a protective shell, enclosing its body and covered with scales. Sea turtles are also included.

The right answer to this question is E.

Two arguments support this answer:

First of all the turtle has no hair and has no placenta (he lay eggs so he is oviparous).

The turtle possesses jaws and limbs.
