When compared to each other, bird wings and butterfly wings can be described as ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES,

Analogous structures are those body structures in animals, which are used to perform similar functions but which have different evolutionary history. They are also called convergent structures. These structures are formed as a result of the need for the animals to adapt to similar environmental conditions. For instance, both bird and butterfly use their wings for flying.

alexira [117]

Answer:

C. glucose

Explanation:

Dark reaction takes place outside the thalakoid membrane (stroma and cytoplasm). During dark reactions, energy is released from ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide into <em><u>glucose</u></em>.

Option A and B are not correct because they are produced during light reactions. Likewise, chlorophyll is the part of cell and is not prepared during light or dark reactions at all.

Summarize the four steps to natural selection

Anna11 [10]

Overproduction - An organism gives birth to too many children

Genetic Variation - The offspring each have genetic differences in appearance, behavior, etc

Struggle to Survive - Offspring must fight in order to gain essential resources (food, water, mates, etc)

Successful Reproduction - Organism produces offspring with beneficial adaptations that aid in survival
