1. Structure such as the human tailbone or appendix that evolution has reduced in size because it is no longer used = d. vestigial structure
2. study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species:
= g. comparative anatomy
3. structure that is similar in related organisms because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = c. homologous structure
4. study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species: study of the similarities and differences in the embryos of different species = j. comparative embryology
5. scientist who finds and studies fossils to learn about evolution and understand the past:
= i. paleontologist
6. mistaken idea of jean baptiste lamarck that evolution occurs through the inheritance of traits that an organism develops in its own lifetime: = h. inheritance of acquired characteristics
7. process by which a single species evolves into many new species to fill available niches:
= e. adaptive radiation
8. relative ability of an organism to survive and produce fertile offspring: = k. fitness
9. structure that is similar in unrelated organisms because it evolved to do the same job, not because it was inherited from a common ancestor: = f. analogous structure
10. study of how and why plants and animals live where they do: = a. biogeography
11. process in which organisms evolve traits useful to humans because people select which individuals are allowed to reproduce and pass on their genes to successive generations:
= b. artificial selection
Answer:
The chemicals left over after a chemical reaction are substrates or resultants.
yellow represents carbon so there are 6 carbon atoms.
blue represents hydrogen/water atoms so
Red represents the oxygen atoms bonded to the hydrogen atoms.
Producers get most of their energy from the sun as they are autotrophic, meaning that they contain chlorophyll which they use to make their food through photosynthesis.
Answer:
C. It is active transport, and moves against the concentration gradient.
Explanation: Pinocytosis is an active transport in which the molecules move from a low to a more higher concentration gradient. During this process it requires energy to move molecules and the energy used is ATP.
Hello User,
All living organisms share several key characteristics or functions: order, sensitivity or response to the environment, reproduction, growth and development, regulation, homeostasis, and energy processing. When viewed together, these characteristics serve to define life.
- Living things are made of cells. Cells are the basic building blocks of living things
- Living things have movement. This movement can be quick or very slow.
- All living things have a metabolism
