Answer:
Dimetrodon (/daɪˈmiːtrədɒn/ (About this soundlisten)[1] or /daɪˈmɛtrədɒn/,[2] meaning "two measures of teeth") is an extinct genus of non-mammalian synapsid that lived during the Cisuralian (Early Permian), around 295–272 million years ago (Ma).[3][4][5] It is a member of the family Sphenacodontidae. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large neural spine sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae. It walked on four legs and had a tall, curved skull with large teeth of different sizes set along the jaws. Most fossils have been found in southwestern United States, the majority coming from a geological deposit called the Red Beds of Texas and Oklahoma. More recently, fossils have been found in Germany. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first erected in 1878.
Explanation:
Dimetrodon is often mistaken for a dinosaur or as a contemporary of dinosaurs in popular culture, but it became extinct some 40 million years before the first appearance of dinosaurs. Reptile-like in appearance and physiology, Dimetrodon is nevertheless more closely related to mammals than to modern reptiles, though it is not a direct ancestor of mammals.[4] Dimetrodon is assigned to the "non-mammalian synapsids", a group traditionally called "mammal-like reptiles".[4] This groups Dimetrodon together with mammals in a clade (evolutionary group) called Synapsida, while placing dinosaurs, reptiles and birds in a separate clade, Sauropsida. Single openings in the skull behind each eye, known as temporal fenestrae, and other skull features distinguish Dimetrodon and mammals from most of the earliest sauropsids.
Answer:
14amu
Explanation:
Given subatomic particles:
Number of protons = 7
Number of Neutrons = 7
Number of electrons = 7
Unknown:
Atomic mass unit; amu of nitrogen
Solution:
The atomic mass unit of a substance is the number of protons and neutrons in such an atom;
Atomic mass unit = number of protons + number of neutrons
This is because the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus;
For the given specie;
Atomic mass unit = 7 + 7 = 14amu
This is called the metabolism. Hope this helps.
At the low temperature, a particular enzyme catalyses a reaction best explains temperature affects the function of this enzyme.
Explanation:
Enzymes are those catalysts which is generally proteins through some RNA molecules as enzymes too. The activation energy of reaction of Enzymes lower is required amount of energy which is needed for occurring the reaction.
Temperature, pH and concentration affect the Enzyme activity. The raising of temperature generally speeds up the reaction. Due to high temperature enzyme to lose its shape and stop working. The part of enzyme where substrate bind is called the active site.
