Tentacles of an octopus as well limbs of a lizard are analogous structures.

Analogous structures or organs perform the same function in different organisms that bear no resemblance to each other anatomically. Analogous structures are formed as a result of convergent evolution, i.e. different structures evolving for the similar function and thus having similarity. Tentacles of an octopus as well as limbs of a lizard are used for the similar function, i.e. locomotion in this case.

On the other hand, homologous structures result from divergent evolution. Homologous organs contain a similar basic structure but perform distinct functions in different organisms.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger
hjlf
There are two main reasons why cells divide rather than continuing to grow larger and larger. One of the main reason is that the larger cell become more demanding, therefore the large cell will increase load on the machinery of the cell such as DNA. The other reason is that if the cell grow too large it will be difficult for the cell to move for nutrients and discard the waste across the cell membrane. Also the surface area for each cell will also be reduced, which is required for active functionality of a cell.

I only need help with number 2 and 3 please answer both i mark you as brainlist
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Reading graphs: The variable plotted on the x-axis is year while the two variables plotted on y-axis are both wolves and moose.

Interpreting variables: The population of moose rose from 800 to 1550 between 1965-1972 while the population of wolves rose from 24 to 43 between 1973-1976.

inferring: The change in population of moose might cause a change in wolves population as a result of the feeding pattern of wolves, perhaps the contest between them was affected by availability of another prey which allows the predator (wolves) to feed on another prey, hence increasing the population of moose.

Conclusion: The dip in population of moose between 1974 and 1981 could be attributed to voracious feeding pattern the predator (wolves) had on the prey (moose) which inturns allows the dip in population during the above mentioned years.

Predicting: If there is a disease infection in wolves, then there would be an increase in the population of moose the next year as a result of disruption in the predator-prey contest, hence; allows one to be more populated the following year.

Explanation:

From the above assertions, it could be deduced that only when the feeding pattern of the predator (wolves) changes then the population of the prey would either be reduced or increased.

Which statement describes the land between contour lines 30 and 35
Elena L [17]
Hello there,

It seem's to me that your answer would be "<span>D. The land slopes gently."

As you focus very hard and steady on the picture, I see a little turn to the right, this can indicate that there is a slight slope.

Hope this helps.
