Biology
1 answer:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

From food

Explanation:

Food energy is a chemical energy used by humans through the process of cellular respiration. Food contain macromolecules such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, water, vitamins, and minerals that are necessary for the human metabolism and they are broken down and used by the series of metabolic steps (glycolysis, Krebs  cycle, electront transport chain and oxidative phosphorilation). Digested macromolecules should be used either as a source of energy or as building blocks for the cell.

At the end of catabolic processes within an organism food energy is transformed into energy usable by the cell-ATP.

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The nocturnal pocket mouse population is likely to decrease over time with particular reference to the dark morphs. If the dark morphs do not develop a strategy or a feature that will aid in defending themselves against these owls, the population will decline and tend to drift to a little increase of the light morphs. Subsequent removal of the dark morphs from the population might move the attention of the owl to the light ones since the light morphs are also been fed on but at reduced quantity when the dark morphs were present. Thus, it might allow the development of a feature or a defense strategy against the owls. It can also be lead to adaptive radiation: which is a form of evolution.
