Adaptations are what organisms do in order for them to survive and adapt to the environments that Mother Nature is presenting them.
1. Crocodiles - have tough and scaled skin that allows them to camouflage and catch prey in the water
2. Frogs - have developed bodily fluids that secrete poison to prevent predators from attacking them
3. Bats - have developed their echolocation to help them in hunting for food at night time.
4. Coelachants - have maintained their extra fins for sensory motor in the water
5. Lampreys - have maintained their tooth-funnel like mouths in order to feed on their hosts.
Question: compare and contrast deuterostome and protosome development
Explanation:
Answer:
a. series of chemical reactions necessary for the use of the raw material.
Explanation:
The term metabolism is used to describe the various chemical reactions in the body that meet the structural and energy needs of a living being. Among the purposes of these chemical reactions, we can mention the synthesis and breakdown of biomolecules, energy production and the conversion of nutrient molecules into macromolecule precursor units.
Metabolism is not unique to humans and occurs in all living beings, whether unicellular or multicellular. The reactions that make up metabolism can be classified into two major metabolic processes: anabolism and catabolism.
Answer:
Planarian stem cells are known as neoblasts. The nature of the neoblasts and the processes that occur as regeneration is activated and carried out are still being investigated.
Explanation:
Humans also have stem cells, but to a more limited extent than planarians. The cells have a characteristic known as potency and are classified as follows:
Totipotent stem cells can produce every type of cell in the body plus the cells of the placenta.
Pluripotent cells can produce every type of cell in the body but not the cells of the placenta.
Multipotent cells can produce several types of specialized cells.
Unipotent cells can produce only one type of specialized cell.
The stem cells in planarians are pluripotent (or at least the ones that have been studied are). There are so many of them throughout the body that even a small piece of a planarian contains the cells.
Answer: Higher infant mortality rates cause higher fertility rates.
Explanation:
Countries with high infant mortality rates are usually countries where families rely on children to help out the family. High infant mortality rates and a need for children means that those people will continue to try to have children until they have some that survive. If more children die, and people need to have more children, there will be a higher fertility rate.
