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

What refrigerant safety group classification has the highest flammability and the highest toxicity?
timama [110]

Answer;

-B3

Explanation;

Refrigerants are divided into two groups according to toxicity:

-Class A signifies refrigerants for which toxicity has not been identified at concentrations less than or  equal to 400 ppm;  and

-Class B signifies refrigerants for which there is evidence of toxicity at concentrations below 400 ppm.

They are also divided into three groups according to flammability:

-Class 1 indicates refrigerants that do not show flame propagation when tested in air at 21°C and 101  kPa;

-Class 2 indicates refrigerants having a lower flammability limit of more than 0.10 kg/m3  at 21°C and  101 kPa and a heat of combustion of less than 19 kJ/kg;

-Class 3 indicates refrigerants that are highly flammable as defined by a lower flammability limit of less  than or equal to 0.10 kg/m3  at 21°C and 101 kPa or a heat of combustion greater than or equal to 19  kJ/kg.

-Therefore; the answer for the above question would be Class B and class 3.
