Answer and Explanation:
Example of a food-web:
(1) Algae --> (2) Protozoas --> (3) Krill --> (4) Cephallopods --> (5) Medium sized dolphin --> (6) Large Dolphin
The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one.
1) The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. In this example, the autotroph organisms are algae, that make use of sunlight and inorganic matter.
The next links are the consumers:
2) Herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. In this example, herbivore organisms are protozoan.
3) Krills are the secondary consumers and feed on protozoans.
4) Some species of cephalopods feed on krill, among other species.
5) Specialized Cetaceans such as the Risso´s dolphin, feed especially on cephalopods, as they lack upper teeth and they only have a few teeth in their jaws.
6) The killer whale is a big sized-dolphin and a very important predator. It feeds on many animals, and one of them is the Risso´s dolphin.
Answer: A. ancestral trait
Explanation:
Bipedalism can be define as a form of terrestrial locomotion, in which the organism moves with the help of two rear limbs or legs. Typical bipedal movements includes the hoping, running and walking. The evolution of the human bipedalism occurred in primates in about 4 million years ago with Sahelanthropus (oldest human ancestors or African Apes). The human ancestor Sahelanthropus led to the morphological alterations in the human skeleton including changes in the bones such as size of the bones of the foot, knee size, shape and orientation of the vertebral column, and leg length. All these changes contributed to the bipedalism.
Answer:
Each strand of a DNA molecule is composed of a long chain of monomer nucleotides. The nucleotides of DNA consist of a deoxyribose sugar molecule to which is attached a phosphate group and one of four nitrogenous bases: two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine
