Lamarck is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics: If an organism changes during life in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. He said that change is made by what the organisms want or need. For example, Lamarck believed that elephants all used to have short trunks. When there was no food or water that they could reach with their short trunks, they stretched their trunks to reach the water and branches, and their offspring inherited long trunks. Lamarck also said that body parts that are not being used, such as the human appendix and little toes are gradually disappearing. Eventually, people will be born without these parts. Lamarck also believed that evolution happens according to a predetermined plan and that the results have already been decided. Lamarcks theory has been disproven and shows that acquired traits are not passed on to offspring.
Answer:
In school, I was taught that it is like a bouncer who controls who enters and exits the club because the cell membrane controls what is able to permeate into the cell. It’s good, but I like to think of it as a door.
Answer:

- Light enters the eye through the cornea.
- Light travels to the macula within the retina.
- Rhodopsin absorbs light, and the Vitamin A changes shape.
- Vitamin A detaches from the rhodopsin, and some vitamin A is lost.
- Vitamin A from the bloodstream replenishes what is lost. The vitamin A returns to its original shape.
Explanation:
Retina is the part of the eye that contains photosensitive cells that capture light and produce the electrical signals that the brain perceives as images. These photosensitive cells are of two kinds:
Rods contain the photosensitive pigment, rhodopsin that is needed for vision at night or in dim light. Cones function in bright light.
Rhodopsin Bleaching:
Vision in bright or excessive light requires a process called rhodopsin bleaching which is the degradation of rhodopsin upon exposure to light. Upon contact with light, rhodopsin goes through structural changes characterized by the conversion of a pigment derived from Vitamin A, 11-<em>cis</em> retinal to all <em>trans</em> retinal. This chemical conversion initiates a photo-transduction reaction (reaction in which a photon of light is converted into electrical signals) that produces the electrical signals that travel to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain converts the electrical signals to images. This is followed by rhodopsin regeneration in the dark in which all <em>trans</em> retinal is converted back into 11 <em>cis</em> retinal.
The sequential events in the Arctic ecosystem feedback loop are: Global temperature increases → permafrost thickness decreases → methane increases → global temperature increases. It is harmful to the Earth.
The Arctic ecosystem is a feedback loop because the warmer the temperatures, the less sea ice (permafrost) is observed.
The Arctic ecosystem feedback loop is a dangerous phenomenon because it accelerates global warming.
Permafrost refers to ice ground that remains completely frozen (0°C) for at least two (2) or more years straight.
