Use Darwin's theory of Natural Selection to explain the process by which the four-legged land animal, A, may have evolved, over about 20 million years, from the fish-like creature, C, in the swampy conditions of the time.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Due to environmental conditions.

Explanation:

With the passage of time, environmental conditions change which causes the evolution of of four legged land animals from fish like creature. This change occurs due to change in environment. In water, there is no need for legs because fish moves with the help of fins and tail but the organisms that lives on land has legs in order to move from one place to another so we can say that change in the physical structure of organism occurs due to environment.

A trout moves from a warm environment into a cold environment. Predict how the saturation status of hydrocarbon chains might change to ensure proper membrane fluidity in the new cold environment.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - The hydrocarbons would become less saturated to increase the fluidity of the membrane

Explanation:

The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids or hydrocarbon chains is responsible for the membrane fluidity at cold temperatures. Cholesterol is an important part of membrane fluidity as it functions as a buffer, it inserts in phospholipids to preventing lower temperatures from inhibiting fluidity and at higher temperatures stabilizes the cell membrane and increase melting point and prevent increasing fluidity.

Moving from high temperature to low temperature hydrocarbon chains become less saturated in order to increase fluidity as it inserts cholesterols into phospholipids and decrease saturation.

Explain Nitrogen cycle [ step by step ]

Answers

Explanation:

Nitrogen is essential to life because it is a key component of proteins and nucleic acids. Nitrogen occurs in many forms and is continuously cycled among these forms by a variety of bacteria. Although nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere as diatomic nitrogen gas (N2), it is extremely stable, and conversion to other forms requires a great deal of energy. Historically, the biologically available forms NO3- and NH3 have often been limited; however, current anthropogenic processes, such as fertilizer production, have greatly increased the availability of nitrogen to living organisms. The cycling of nitrogen among its many forms is a complex process that involves numerous types of bacteria and environmental conditions.

In general, the nitrogen cycle has five steps:

Nitrogen fixation (N2 to NH3/ NH4+ or NO3-)

Nitrification (NH3 to NO3-)

Assimilation (Incorporation of NH3 and NO3- into biological tissues)

Ammonification (organic nitrogen compounds to NH3)

Denitrification(NO3- to N2)

Nitrogen Fixation

Nitrogen fixation is the process by which gaseous nitrogen (N2) is converted to ammonia (NH3 or NH4+) via biological fixation or nitrate (NO3-) through high-energy physical processes. N2 is extremely stable and a great deal of energy is required to break the bonds that join the two N atoms. N2 can be converted directly into NO3- through processes that exert a tremendous amount of heat, pressure, and energy. Such processes include combustion, volcanic action, lightning discharges, and industrial means. However, a greater amount of biologically available nitrogen is naturally generated via the biological conversion of N2 to NH3/ NH4+. A small group of bacteria and cyanobacteria are capable using the enzyme nitrogenase to break the bonds among the molecular nitrogen and combine it with hydrogen.

Nitrogenase only functions in the absence of oxygen. The exclusion of oxygen is accomplished by many means. Some bacteria live beneath layers of oxygen-excluding slime on the roots of certain plants. The most important soil dwelling bacteria, Rhizobium, live in oxygen-free zones in nodules on the roots of legumes and some other woody plants. Aquatic filamentous cyanobacteria utilize oxygen-excluding cells called heterocysts.

Nitrification

Nitrification is a two-step process in which NH3/ NH4+ is converted to NO3-. First, the soil bacteria Nitrosomonas and Nitrococcus convert NH3 to NO2-, and then another soil bacterium, Nitrobacter, oxidizes NO2- to NO3-. These bacteria gain energy through these conversions, both of which require oxygen to occur.

Assimilation

Assimilation is the process by which plants and animals incorporate the NO3- and ammonia formed through nitrogen fixation and nitrification. Plants take up these forms of nitrogen through their roots, and incorporate them into plant proteins and nucleic acids. Animals are then able to utilize nitrogen from the plant tissues.

Ammonification

Assimilation produces large quantities of organic nitrogen, including proteins, amino acids, and nucleic acids. Ammonification is the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia. The ammonia produced by this process is excreted into the environment and is then available for either nitrification or assimilation.

Denitrification

Denitrification is the reduction of NO3- to gaseous N2 by anaerobic bacteria. This process only occurs where there is little to no oxygen, such as deep in the soil near the water table. Hence, areas such as wetlands provide a valuable place for reducing excess nitrogen levels via denitrification processes.

Common Forms of Nitrogen

The most common forms of inorganic nitrogen in the environment are diatomic nitrogen gas (N2), nitrate (NO3-), nitrite (NO2-), ammonia (NH3), and ammonium (NH4+). The species that predominate depend on the chemical, physical, and biological environment.

In aquatic environments, the presence of nitrogen as unionized ammonia (NH3) or ammonium (NH4+) is dependent on the pH and temperature.

When the pH is below 8.75, NH4+ predominates. Increases in pH signify increases in the hydroxyl ion (OH-) concentration of the water, meaning the above reaction will shift to the left in order to reach equilibrium. Above a pH of 9.75, NH3 predominates (Hem, 1985). NH3 is a more toxic to aquatic life. If biological assimilation of NH3 is not occurring at a sufficient rate, NH3 may accumulate and cause detrimental effects to aquatic life.

In soils, NH4+ ions are strongly sorbed by clay particles and organic matter, which have a net negative surface charge. In alkaline soils, NH4+ will be converted to NH3 gas, and lost to the atmosphere. Under warm growing conditions, NH4+ in the soil will be transformed to NO3- via nitrification. NO3- is very soluble, and can easily be leached from soils under wet conditions.

which of the followimg could be reasons why popultion sizes may reach and maintaim plateaus? choose the three that apply

Will mark as brilliant answer

Answers

Answer:

Below :D

Explanation:

So basically, this question is asking what will cause a species' population to reach a point where it stops increasing.

Lets think about what can cause a lack of increase?

A decrease can cause this.

Or a slow in the rate of increase.

Now lets look at our selectable answers and see if any of them would fall under these two things.

First up is fewer deaths.

Well, fewer deaths basically means less of a decrease in population.

This is the opposite of decreasing the populatin count, and would instead raise it.

Next we have a limit in food supply.

This would cause a organism to starve and die.

So this would cause a decrease in population count.

So B is one of the answers

Next up is competition with other species.

When two species compete for a sort of resources, one massivly dies out due to outcompetion, and loses the resources needed to survive.

So this would also cause a large decrease in population count.

This makes C one of the answers

Next is increase in birth rates.

This would cause more organisms to be born of a species, basically increasing the population count.

This is the opposite of a decrease in  population.

Next we have competition for space.

This is very similar to answer C, and the outcompeted species dies out due to lack of space.

So E is one of the answers

Now, the next answer seems viable, because major storms can kill off organisms, like hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanos for instance.

However, as seen in many organisms over history, while these major storms kill of organisms, they can recover.

So although major storms decrease populations, they dont actually limit them.

In the end:

B is correct

C is correct

E is correct

Hope this helps!
