Assume that some members of an aquatic species of motile, photosynthetic protists evolve to become parasitic to fish. They gain

the ability to live in the fish gut, absorbing nutrients as the fish digest food. Overtime, which of the following phenotypic changes would you expect to observe in the population of protists?
a.) gain of meiosis
b.) loss of mobility
c.) loss of chloroplasts
d.) no changes would be expected
e.) gain a rigid cell wall

Answer:

c.) loss of chloroplasts

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the double membrane-bound organelles of photosynthetic eukaryotes and serve as the site for photosynthesis. The organisms that can carry out photosynthesis make the organic nutrients and do not depend on other organisms for food.

According to the given information, the photosynthetic protists become parasite in fish and start deriving nutrition from the host. If the protists continue to survive as a parasite to fish, the chloroplasts will be rendered non-significant. The parasitic mode of nutrition does not require chloroplasts and therefore, the protists would lose the organelles over generations.

A grown tiger began its life as a single fertilized egg. Explain why a tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as
blsea [12.9K]
<span>A tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as a single fertilized egg because it developed through different stages from being a zygote (fertilized egg), to becoming an embryo (where it experiences intense cellular changes), to becoming a fetus (where it gains a great measure of cell specialization, and develops distinct tissues and organ systems). After birth, the tiger still undergoes further growth and development into adulthood. This is largely regulated by the expression of different genes at different times and also by environmental factors.</span>

In exocytosis, the membrane package fuses with _____.a transport protein a gap junction the nucleus the cell membrane
Maksim231197 [3]
Exocytosis is a procedure by which a cell transports secretory items through the cytoplasm to the plasma film. Secretory items are bundled into transport vesicles. In exocytosis, the one that fuses with the membrane package is the cell membrane. The membrane is transported to the cell membrane and the water molecules are released into the extracellular environment.

aksik [14]

Answer:

Just before the cat drops, it was stationery. Therefore it has energy of position called  potential energy.As it drops, the Gravitational potential energy is converted to Kinetic Energy,The conversion mid- air is P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E to P.E to K.E, until it touches the ground. As it touches the  ground all the energy is converted to P.E energy of position.

As it runs after mouse the P.E is converted back to Kinetic , energy of motion. As it feeds on the mouse , the chemical energy obtained  as protein from mouse meat.This is later converted back to Mechanical energy as (kinetic and Potential  energy)   in the cat.

If 84 J of work are exerted to pull a wagon, how much force does it take to pull the wagon 7.0 m? Round your answer to the neare
nirvana33 [79]
Work is said to be done when an object moves due to a force applied. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied and the distance traveled due to the force. It is expressed as:

W = Force x distance

W = 84 J = F (7.0 m)
F = 12 N

Hope this answers the question.
