8 0

Tiktaalik is a transitional fossil which shows how fish evolved into amphibians and reptiles. So the correct option is B.

What is Tiktaalik?

Tiktaalik is a direct ancestor of tetrapods or four-legged animals. It is an extinct fish-like animal and it lived on earth 380-385 million years ago (Devonian period).

The word Tiktaalik is derived from the <em>Inuktitut</em> language which loosely translates to large freshwater fish. This animal had characteristics of both fish and tetrapod and is therefore called the link between these two kinds of animals.

The characters resembling fish are gills and scales and the characters resembling tetrapods are rib bones, movable neck and lungs. There are characters that are a mix of both tetrapods and fish. These are bones and joints in limbs but fish-like fins instead of feet or hands.

charle [14.2K]

C. 38 ATP
<span>In the presence of oxygen, one glucose molecule has the energy to make up to 38 ATP. The ATP production is determined by the following steps, (-2 ATP) glycolysis preparatory phase, (7-9 ATP) glycolysis pay-off phase, (5 ATP) oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and (20 ATP) Krebs cycle. One glucose which has 38 ATP hence was the summation of all the process mentioned that took place. All these process take place under the cellular function of cellular respiration. </span>

kondaur [170]

Answer:

the purpose of the translation is to make proteins. proteins are responsible for making bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood. proteins are synthesized from the information in a mRNA.

Process of translation

it happens in 3 phases

initiation: the small ribosomal subunits binds to the start of the of the mRNA sequence. then a tRNA molecule carrying the amino acid methoionine binds to start codon of the mRNA sequence. after that large ribosomal subunit binds to form the complete intiation complex.
elongation: the ribosome continues to translate each codon in turn each corresponding amino acid is added to the growing chain and linked via bond called peptide bond. elongation continues untill all the codons are read.
termination: it occurs when the ribosome reaches a stop codon. since there is no tRNA molecules that can recognise these codons the ribosome recognises that translation is complete.

after these 3 phases a new protein is realeasd

Answer:

Differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration is whether or not oxygen is present. . During aerobic respiration, carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are produced. During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid, ethanol, and ATP are create, aerobic os used when heart rate and breathing rate rise, anaerobic is used during the first 1-2 mins of exercise, occurs in the cytoplasm of cells, while aerobic occurs in the mitochondria of the cells, glycolysis occurs in both, both are respiration, and both create ATP
