7 0

Answer:

Homology refers to the similarities between the group of species that share the common ancestor.  The homology individuals arise from a common ancestor. They shows divergent evolution. The basic structure in homology is similar. The organs perform different function. They occur due to the evolutionary process.

Homoplasy refers to the shared characters of the group of species that do not share the common ancestor. The homoplasy do not involve the common ancestor. They shows convergent evolution. The basic structure in homoplasy is different. The organs perform the similar function. They occur due to the adaptation in different habitats.

strojnjashka [21]
BTX or batrachotoxin is a type of steroidal alkaloid which was first derived from the skin of Dendrobatidae or poison dart frogs. This neurotoxin prevents the muscle and nerve cells from transmitting electrical signals. The toxin permanently blocks electrical signal transmission from the nerves to the muscle by binding and inactivating the sodium channels.

Considering the body’s organization from atoms to organ systems, in which level of organization are proteins like collagen? Desc
storchak [24]

Answer:

According to the levels of organization in the body, the level of organization in which proteins, like collagen, are found is the molecular level, allowing the structural support and the performance of other essential functions.

Explanation:

Proteins are biological macromolecules, polymers of units called amino acids. These molecules belong to the molecular level of organization in living organisms.

The level of organization where proteins are found allows them:

  • <em>Form an essential part of cells.</em>
  • <em>Contribute to the construction of tissues and organs.</em>
  • <em>Participate in metabolic reactions, as enzymes. </em>
  • <em>Defense of the organism, in the form of antibodies.</em>
  • <em>Regulation of vital functions, forming hormones.</em>

Other functions of proteins are to integrate the cell membranes and perform transport function, to form receptors and to be an energy reserve.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer,

Ribosomes

Explanation,

Ribosomes are cell organelles which help to produce proteins.It contains RNA and DNA strands which help in formation of new proteins.The synthesis of proteins takes place in two stages  transcription and translation.Transcription takes the information encoded to the DNA and encodes it into mRNA which heads to the nucleus inthe cytoplasm.Translation mRNA works with a ribosome and tRNA to synthesize proteins.

aleksklad [387]

Answer;

B. improved ecosystem health

Explanation;

-Surface mining is a method of extracting minerals near the surface of the Earth. The three most common types of surface mining are open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying.

-The environmental impact of mining includes erosion, formation of sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of soil, groundwater, and surface water by chemicals from mining processes.The environmental effects of surface mining include;

  • Habitat destruction
  • Soil erosion
  • Air pollution from dust particulates
  • Pollution (especially from sediments)
  • All surface mining techniques negatively affect the environment, though some methods are more damaging than others.
