Mechanical Digestion is the physical motion our mouth makes to chew up the food. We grind up the food with our teeth, then swallow the food into the next part of the digestive system.

Chemical Digestion in the mouth is the saliva our mouth produces. It breaks down the food along side the mechanical part of the mechanical digestion.

Provide an adaptive and a nonadaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of useless organs, such as eyes in many cave-dwelling

Zepler [3.9K]

In order to be able to Provide an adaptive and a non-adaptive hypothesis, the following is required

<h3>What is adaptation?</h3>

It refers to a trait or an integrated set of traits that increases the fitness of an organism. It is the process of improving the fit of phenotype to environment through natural selection.

<h3>What is non adaptation?</h3>

it refers to those traits that do not result in the better adaptation of the organism to its environment, and does not increase the genetic fitness of the organism.

Let us take the case of vain organs. There may be a metabolic value to constructing a vain organ, and subsequently the humans who have misplaced that organ might also have a selective advantage. Also, if the organ is useless, the mutations that disrupt the improvement of that organ would be evolutionarily neutral, and may want to unfold to fixation via genetic drift.

So an adaptive hypothesis as to why an organism may lose useless organs is energy trade offs. The organism may additionally be losing energy in growing and retaining a vain organ, whilst this strength can be higher used someplace else. So an organism that lives in a darkish cave might also sooner or later lose its eyes considering eyes are of no use inside a darkish cave.

A non adaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of organs can be random mutation. If a random mutation occurs that causes an organism to lose its eyes, in a dark cave where it does not use its eyes anyway, it could still survive, reproduce and pass that mutation down.

1.) Librarians organize books according to a classification system. Describe another type of classification system you have seen

marysya [2.9K]

Answer and explanation:

<h3>1. Librarians organize books according to a classification system. Describe another type of classification system you have seen or used.</h3>

<u>Similar to the way librarians organize their books, taxonomists and biologists can classify living organisms</u>.

In terms of biology, the taxonomic categories of species is a system used to group different species according to their physical and functional characteristics and their phylogenetic relationship.

Taxonomy can classify living organisms into domains - according to their cellular characteristics, as well as placing them in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.

For example, man (Homo sapiens) is classified, according to his taxonomy in:

<em>Domain: Eukarya. </em>
<em>Phylum: Chordata. </em>
<em>Class: Mammal. </em>
<em>Order: Primates. </em>
<em>Family: Hominids </em>
<em>Gender: Homo </em>
<em>Species: Homo sapiens. </em>

The taxonomic classification system is a way of establishing differences and similarities among living beings, as well as offering an approximation to their morphology and specific functions within nature.

<h3>2. Describe three examples of how are plants and animals different</h3>

Plants belong to the Plantae kingdom, while animals belong to the Animalia kingdom, and there are clear differences between them:

<em>Plants have no movement, while animals do. </em>
<em>Plant organisms are capable of processing their own nutrients (autotrophs), through sunlight, carbon dioxide, oxygen, water and inorganic nutrients from the soil. Animals (heterotrophic) require to obtain their nutrients by consuming plants or other animals. </em>
<em>In plants, plant cells have cloproplasts and chlorophyll, which are necessary for photosynthesis and to obtain energy substrate. The animal cell has mitochondria, which are in charge of cellular respiration, a process that provides them with energy. </em>

<h3>3. Describe three examples of how are plants and animals are similar</h3>

The similarities between plants and animals are based on the general characteristics of some living organisms:

<em>They are eukaryotic multicellular organisms, formed by biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. </em>
<em>They have the capacity to reproduce and respond to stimuli. </em>
<em>The metabolic pathways to carry out their organic processes - such as obtaining energy - are similar.</em>

<h3>4. What are some differences between plants and fungi? What specific characteristics that you observed from this activity might help you classify this organism?</h3>

Some differences between plants and mushrooms are:

<em>Plants are photosynthetic organisms, capable of processing their own nutrients. Fungi require feeding on organic matter (heterotrophic). </em>
<em>The nutrition of plants is by absorption of inorganic nutrients from the soil, while fungi perform an external digestion process and then make the absorption. </em>
<em>From the cellular point of view, the wall of the plant cells is predominantly cellulose, while in the fungi the main component of the cell wall is chitin. </em>

An observable characteristic that allows us to establish the difference between plants and fungi is that plants are generally green, due to the presence of chlorophyll, necessary to carry out photosynthesis, while fungi are of variable colors, such as white, yellow, reddish or brown (they lack chlorophyll).
