Mitochondria mediate metabolic reactions, and in any reaction energy is transformed; some is lost as heat.

Mitochondria are the organelles that prevails within some of the eukaryotic cells. The humans are endotherms that is they maintain the temperature of the body within a stable, narrow range by internal production of heat and monitored heat dissipation.

The endotherms depends in metabolism or production of energy inside the cells. Mitochondria generate the majority of human body heat as they monitor metabolism by controlling the majority of intracellular production of energy.

Earth's early atmosphere was primarily composed of

Paul [167]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''carbon dioxide, water vapor and nitrogen.''

Explanation:

About 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was a very geologically active planet. So many volcanic fumes formed the primitive atmosphere, which was mostly made up of water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur, and nitrogen. At this point, oxygen was barely present and the oceans did not yet exist. The primitive atmosphere is the one before the Precambrian, it was reductive, that is, it lacked free oxygen, and only had ammonia, methane and hydrogen, the high temperature of the atmosphere in its early stages facilitated the reaction of these gases to form organic compounds from which life may have emerged. UV rays passed, because ozone did not exist.

Fossils can show structural similarities and differences in organisms over time revealing the vast diversity of life forms that have and continue to exist on Earth.

Comparisons between living organisms and fossils also allow scientists to make inferences about the lines of descent.
