Give a scenario where a cell may need to perform a form of endocytosis and exocytosis
Firdavs [7]
<span>A scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of endocytosis is when transporting large molecules.
A scenario where a cell may be needed to perform a form of exocytosis is when releasing the large molecule from the cell. The movement of macromolecules of polysaccharides or proteins out of or into the cell is known as Bulk transport.
Bulk transport is of two types which include endocytosis and exocytosis whereby both require an expenditure of energy. Exocytosis materials are being exported out of the cell via secretory vesicles.
Golgi complex they do package macromolecules into transport vesicles which travel to and spill its content out of cells. Exocytosis is very much important in the expulsion of waste materials out of the cell and also in products secretion. Endocytosis is the process where materials move into the cell.
 Endocytosis is divided into the three types which include pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis.</span>

Summarize how the climate of the Miocene epoch impacted the evolution of hominins
andrezito [222]

Answer with Explanation:

The Miocene epoch was deeply characterized by<em> seasonal conditions</em>, such as having more colder winters in the northern areas.

In the <em>late Miocene</em>,<u> open vegetation system expanded. </u>These included<em> grasslands, woodlands and shrublands.</em> As a result, more primates inhabited the area. Several habitats became diverse from each other, thus allowing the species to adapt, including their locomotion. For example, the species who used to live on trees, turn towards living on land (terrestrial life). Certain animals also came about such as <em>pigs, giraffes, monkeys, etc.</em> Scavenging hominins also scattered. When it comes to hominins, a major type of locomotion evolved called "bipedalism." <u>This allowed the hominins to walk using the lower limbs (two feet).</u>

Select ALL the correct answers. Based on these images, what can you say about the tentacles of an octopus and the limbs of a liz
slamgirl [31]

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.
