Answer:
Covering organs within trunk cavities
Lining trunk cavities
Explanation:
Serous membranes are layers of tissue that protect the organs. They prevent the organs from getting damage from friction which can occur as they rub against the cavity walls.
Serous membranes have two layers, the visceral layer and the parietal layer. The visceral layer covers the organs while the parietal layer covers or lines the cavity walls. In between these two layers, you will find a gap or cavity filled with serous fluid.
They cover organs like the heart, lungs, blood vessels (some of them at least), testes and other organs found in the abdominal cavity.
Succession is a process which brings change in the composition of species in a community over a period of time. In this process a community undergoes change for the initial colonization of a new habitat. Succession begins with colonization of an area that has not been previously occupied by an ecological community. Succession continues till the climax community occupies that area.
Overproduction is a natural phenomenon in which the number of produced offspring is higher than the number of individuals the ecosystem can sustain. Thus, competition for limited resources occurs.
Because of the genetic variation, the organisms within a population have different chances to reproduce. Most often, some organisms have a lower reproductive success than others do.
The number of individuals with a high reproductive success is rather low as few males are very successful at passing on their genetic material.
The number of organisms with no reproductive success is also very low, as these "ill adapted" individuals will disappear from the population extremely quickly.
Genetic variation is the amount of differences between individuals. Thus, no organism taken by itself has any genetic variation.
Answer:
e) from engulfed, originally free-living proteobacteria
Explanation:
The bacterium was captured by a eukaryotic cell and then the cell evolved into the mitochondria we know today!
