Tortoises with long necks were found to be abundant in regions that had vegetation on a higher level. A few years later, drought

hit the region and the vegetation dried up. Over time, grasses were observed in the region. Shortly thereafter, an increase in short-necked tortoises was observed in the region. What does this change in the species of tortoises suggest?
A. Changes in the environment give rise to evolution of species.
B. Tortoises all around the world are now short necked.
C. Tortoises found only in this region are short necked.
D. Only changes in food availability affect the evolution of species.

The correct option is A.
Living organisms depend on their environment to survive, when there are changes in the environment which are not favorable to the living organisms, it will eventually leads to the wiping out of the living organisms. As time goes on and the environment recover, the living organisms that will be found in the new environment are those who will be able to survive in it.

To extract energy from carbohydrates, glucose is oxidized through several metabolic processes, resulting in end products of carb
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:the item that has steps involved in glucose oxidation in an aerobic environment is ATP.

CH12O6 + 6O2 + 36Pi^-1 + 36ADP^3- + 35H^+ = 6CO2 + 36ATP^4- + 42H2O

Explanation:

Aerobic oxidation of glucose is coupled to the synthesis of as many as 36 molecules of ATP: Glycolysis, the initial stage of glucose metabolism, takes place in the cytosol and does not involve molecular O2. It produces a small amount of ATP and the three-carbon compound pyruvate.

Sometimes the microvilli on the epithelial cells lining the proximal tubule are destroyed. What effect would this have?
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Reduced reabsorption of salts and nutrients from the proximal tubule.

Explanation:

The proximal convoluted tubules are the site for reabsorption of the largest amount of solute and water from the filtered fluid. It reabsorbs 65% of water, electrolytes such as Na+ and K+, almost 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids and other electrolytes such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.

The simple cuboidal epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have a prominent brush border of microvilli on their apical surface. These microvilli serve to increase the surface area for reabsorption and secretion. Destruction of these microvilli would reduce the reabsorption of the above-mentioned salts and nutrients from proximal convoluted tubules.

glucose levels go up in the bloodstream after a meal. beta cells of the pancreas detect the elevated glucose levels. this causes
Keith_Richards [23]

The secretion of insulin into the bloodstream is done through exocytosis and absorption through the capillary arteries.

Insulin is a protein required to process sugar. This is a <u>naturally produced protein</u> for which the pancreas is responsible. The insulin Protein is considered a transport protein. It is responsible for carrying glucose from the bloodstream into cells to be used as energy.

This protein is of vital importance. The secretion of this protein is done through exocytosis, which means that after passing through the ribosomes and the Golgi, it is contained within a membrane, which will then fuse into the plasmatic membrane and be released from the cell. It is then absorbed through the capillaries to enter the bloodstream.
