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.

Why is oxygen important in the electron transport pathway and atp synthesis?
kiruha [24]

Answer:

NADH and FADH2 carry electrons to specialized cell membranes,where they are harvested to create ATP.Once the electrons are used, they become depleted and must be removed from the body. Oxygen is essential for this task. Used electrons bind with oxygen; this molecules eventually bind with hydrogen to form water

How do the main sequence stages of these two sizes of stars differ?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Stellar evolution is the process by which a star undergoes a sequence of radical changes during its lifetime. Depending on the mass of the star, this lifetime ranges from only a few million years (for the most massive) to trillions of years (for the less massive), considerably more than the age of the universe. ^ 

Small, relatively cold, low mass red dwarfs burn hydrogen slowly and will burn for hundreds of billions of years 

Massive hot supergiants will live for just a few million years. 

A mid-sized star like the Sun will remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years. Hope tis helps!!
