Mammals in Australia are called marsupials, and diverged from the placental mammals very early in mammalian evolution. Australia

n sugar gliders and North American flying squirrels (see picture) have membranes of skin between their forelimbs and hindlimbs that allow them to glide between tree branches. Are their membranes homologous or analogous?

Answer:

The correct answer is homologous.

Explanation:

A structure that is derived from a common ancestor is called homologous structure. So homologous structure is the characteristic of divergent evolution that means divergent evolution give rise to homologous structures.

So as the marsupials are mammals that were diverged from placental mammals very early in mammalian evolution, the membranes of skin that allow Australian sugar gliders and North American flying squirrels to glide are homologous because divergent evolution gives rise to homologous structures.

The function of these homologous structures can be the same or can be different. Therefore the correct answer is their membrane are homologous.

4.Neutral fats such as triglycerides offer the energy needed for cellular respiration(9kcal per gram)

5.Saturated fatty acids contain only single bonds in their molecules and are mainly found in animals.

6.Phospholipids are found in biological membranes.

7.Cholesteroleplay different roles like being the initial molecule for steroid hormone synthesis, decreasing the cell membrane permeability and aiding in lipids intestinal absorbtion

8.The two main parts of a lipid are glycerol and fatty acids.

9.A fat is saturated if none of the fatty acids present have double bonds.A fat is unsaturated if there is at least a double bond in the fatty acids

10.Steroids contain 4 rings and contain about 17 carbon atoms. Their main function is influencing the membrane fluidity and they are signaling molecules.

11.The role of wax is for example in the ear removing the impurities and protecting the eardrum.

12.Carbohydrate molecules offer 4kcal per gram while fat molecules offer 9kcal per gram. Lipids store more energy

Proteins

13.Proteins represent about 18% of the cell's mass.

14.Proteins are built from amino acids.

15.We have 20 amino acids in our bodies

16.The basic structure of an amino acid is based upon an amino group(-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH) and a radical(-R) that differs in every amino acid.

17.The secondary structure of a protein can either be α-helices or β folds.

Carbohydrates

18.Carbohydrates contain carbon(C) hydrogen(H) and oxygen(O)

19.The ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:2:1

20.Carbohydrates comprise about 10% of our body cell mass.

21.The smallest carbohydrate is called monosacharide

22.glucose fructose galactose ribose

23.in the picture

24.Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures. In carbohydrates there are mainly optic isomers.

25.Disacharides are formed by joining two molecules of mono saccharides together and losing a water molecule.

26.maltose(glucose;glucose),succhrose(fructose;glucose),lactose(galactose;glucose)

27.cellulose-forms the cell wall of plant cells starch-used as storage of glucose in plant cells glycogen-used as storage for glucose in animal cells

Hello! What are two similarities of Mitosis and Meiosis? Thanks :)
erma4kov [3.2K]

Mitosis and meiosis are the two ways by which cells reproduce. As a result, they share several steps in their respective processes. Meiosis adds another division and a step that mixes the genetic material, but in both cases the cell must duplicate its DNA, pull it apart into two sets, place the sets on each end of itself, and then divide down the middle. Both mitosis and meiosis produce fresh new cells based on their parent cells' genes.

Why adaptation is important for living beings​
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Adaption is needed for a living thing to strive in a system, its how they survive.

Explanation:

Adaptation is needed to survive. This includes climate, predators around it etc. For example polar bears. Polar bears adapt to their environment by growing thick coats of fur. These coats keep the bears warm.Without it they would die.
