Darwin was pilloried for his theory of evolution through natural selection. ("Pillory" is a big word from the 19th century; it w

asn’t nice.) He has been dead for a while now, and thus doesn’t care. But his idea is still the basis of debate today. Science supports most of his theory. Describe, briefly, the central principles of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection.

Answer:

The central principle of Darwin theory is based on the fact that,

He observed that  in a given population,organism usually produced more offspring  than than they can naturally capable of taken care of to replace the parents population.And this leads to increase in large population.

Despite this large population the natural population  remain stable over a long period of time.

Because in  this population organisms compete for needed resources for survival, thus certain organisms with special characteristics or traits were able to  for survive better, and therefore get the natural resources, and resist the selection pressure while others which can not, will be removed from the population. Hence there is competitions for the natural resources,

Therefore organisms  that survived were better adapted, because they must have inherited the  survival traits or genes from their parents. This surviving traits is caused by  variation.And is is responsible for their  better adaptation  and survival in the population.

A s this continues the population of the survived organisms will dominates,This is because these organism are  naturally selected by nature,  and able to resist  the  selection pressure.

They are known as the survival of the fittest, and their selection advantages due to variation (caused be mutation) is responsible for their dominating population and natural selection compare to the less selected ones.

Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

a vestigial structure

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are a rudimentary (or even functionless) version of a body part, but they have important functions in a closely correlated or evolutionarily close species, an example of which is the presence of eyes in fish of the genus Astyanax. The existence of these vestigial structures is strong evidence that evolution occurs in organisms, since this structure, today without much apparent function, may in the past have been extremely important to the ancestors of that species.

Assume a hawk eats five 20 gram birds and one 150 gram rabbit. In terms of biomass, did the
inna [77]

Answer: the rabbit

Explanation:

In ecology, biomass refers to the mass of organisms living within a specific region at a time. Biomass is measured and usually described as:

  • the total mass of the organisms within a community
  • the average masses per unit area

Typically, more numerous organisms, such as producers, have a higher average biomass. This may include plants, animals or microbes such as bacteria and fungi. In terrestrial environments, biomass is distributed in pyramid form; the carnivorous hawk preys on rabbits and birds, which are nearer to the base of the pyramid- each predator population would have a lower biomass than its prey.

The birds weigh 100 grams while the rabbit weighs 150 grams.The rabbit has a higher total mass
