The shape of the beaks of Darwin's finches and industrial melanism are often cited as examples of the process of ________ leadin

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: The answer is natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection explains how certain desirable traits like;

- shape of the beaks of Darwin's finches: to help them feed more easily

- industrial melanism to raise a population of dark-coloured organisms to evolve from pre-existing light coloured ones in industrial areas where the surrondings are blackened with soot;

are favored over LESS DESIRABLE TRAITS, resulting in organisms that are most suited/adapted to thrive in an environment, which is evolutionary change

After photosynthesis, energy that the coral can use is stored in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Energy is stored in glucose molecules C6H12O6

Explanation:

Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of photosynthesis. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable chemical energy in covalent bonds. In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.

These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Eg. for aerobic respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

Allushta [10]

False, I'd say. Mammals usually adapt based on environment. Now, I know predators are "apart" of the environment, but I don't think that'd be it. I'd bet more money on saying mammals evolve based on environment adaptation. Sorry if I didn't answer your question or if I didn't get my point across well.
