Why wings (and hence flight)evolved from this point is a matter of contention among scientists; various hypotheses proposed include: Wings evolvedfrom arms used to capture small prey. ... Wings evolved from gliding ancestors who began to flap their gliding structures in order to produce thrust.

Two hypotheses have been proposed for the origin of insect wings. One holds that wings evolved by modification of limb branches that were already present in multibranched ancestral appendages and probably functioned as gills. The second proposes that wings arose as novel outgrowths of the body wall, not directly related to any pre-existing limbs. If wings derive from dorsal structures of multibranched appendages, we expect that some of their distinctive features will have been built on genetic functions that were already present in the structural progenitors of insect wings, and in homologous structures of other arthropod limbs. We have isolated crustacean homologues of two genes that have wing-specific functions in insects, pdm (nubbin) and apterous. Their expression patterns support the hypothesis that insect wings evolved from gill-like appendages that were already present in the aquatic ancestors of both crustaceans and insects

Questions 1-3 True or False?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

Chloroplast is the organells for photosynthesis in plants and algea.It contains the pigments chlorophyll.which is made up of photosystems.The major functions of chloroplast  therefore is to serve as solar energy trapping center for  fixing of CO2 for CHO productions. It also serve as the center of generation ATPs through chemiosmosis for Calvin Cycle.

2.True. The lysosomes - bag, contain some digestive enzymes for braking down organic materials,wornout organelles, and even the whole cells in a process called autolysis. This explains the reason why it is called the  .

3.True.This is autolysis, or cell death.It occurred when the lysosomes burst and releases the hydrolytic enzymes which digested the entire  cellular structure.This may me be responsible for the decay of organisms at death.
