The fossils that provide information on the formation of an oxygen-rich atmosphere are the stromatilites from the Precambrian era. These are layered and columnar fossils consisting mainly of cyanobacteria which were the original life form back then. These bacteria took in carbon dioxide and produced oxygen by photosynthesis as early as 2.5 billion years ago (the earth is about 4.5 billion yrs old).

Do you think the wings of a Galapagos cormorant are vestigial structures?
Inga [223]

Answer:

The Galapagos cormorant has vestigial wings that don't help it to fly or swim, though the birds still dry them off in the sun after they get wet, just as if they would if they still could use them to fly. This species diverged into a flightless bird about 2 million years ago.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The intercalated cells in the distal convoluted tubule of a nephron can cause and increase or decrease in body pH.

Explanation:

The renal collecting duct is the nephron segment where the final urine content of acid equivalents and inorganic ions are determined.

Two types of cells regulate the acid-base and volume homeostasis.

Intercalated cells, which express acid-base transporters and vacuolar H+-ATPase, maintain an apropriate acid-base balance and principal cells that express the epithelial sodium channel ENaC and aquaporin 2, regulate electrolyte reabsorption.

Filtered bicarbonate is predominantly reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule about 80% and the remaining bicarbonate is reabsorbed from the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, the distal nephron, specifically the distal convoluted tubule & the connecting tubule, and finally the cortical and both the outer and inner medullary collecting duct.

Intercalated cells are enriched in mitochondria, and express proteins involved in transport of proton equivalents such as vacuolar H+-ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II and bicarbonate transporters. There are two types of intercalated cells Type-A and Type-B.
