It's called development, and we as humans, we have it as well. In development, we age, and then after the physical conditions that affect aging, we die after a certain age.

Living things are composed only of organic elements, whereas nonliving things are made up of inorganic elementsa. Trueb. False
Scilla [17]

Answer: option B) Statement is false

Explanation:

Living things are NOT composed only of organic elements. Organic elements refers to compounds of Carbon, whereas living things such as Vertebrates (man, shark, lion etc) possess bones, teeth with INORGANIC components like phosphorus, magnesium, calcium.

Also, nonliving things are NOT made up of only inorganic elements. A good example is the air we breathe, it is non-living, yet contains carbon in the form of Carbiondioxide.

inysia [295]

Answer:

Biodiversity: Tropical rainforests are areas of extremely high biodiversity compared to other ecosystems. Biologists estimate that tropical rainforests contain about 50% of the world's terrestrial plant and animal species, yet they encompass only about 6% of the world's land area.

Reflecting telescopes
Telescopes that use lenses are called refracting telescopes. The other type uses mirrors to focus the light of the image. These telescopes are called reflecting telescopes. Refracting telescopes use lenses to bend the light to a specific focal point such that the object will be magnified to the viewer.

light microscope
Optical instruments are based on optics. They use mirrors and lenses to reflect and refract light and form images. The light microscope and telescope use convex lenses and mirrors to make enlarged images of very tiny or distant objects. A camera uses a convex lens to make a reduced image of an object.

Refracting telescopes use lenses to focus the light, and reflecting telescopes use mirrors. I'll talk first about refracting ones. Refracting telescopes work by using two lenses to focus the light and make it look like the object is closer to you than it really is. Both lenses are in a shape that's called 'convex'.

the reflector telescope uses a mirror to gather and focus light. All celestial objects (including those in our solar system) are so far away that all of the light rays coming from them reach the Earth as parallel rays. Because the light rays are parallel to each other, the reflector telescope's mirror has a parabolic shape. The parabolic-shaped mirror focusses the parallel lights rays to a single point. All modern research telescopes and large amateur ones are of the reflector type because of its advantages over the refractor telescope.

Advantages

Reflector telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration because all wavelengths will reflect off the mirror in the same way.
Support for the objective mirror is all along the back side so they can be made very BIG!
Reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size.
Because light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect.

Disadvantages

It is easy to get the optics out of alignment.
A reflector telescope's tube is open to the outside and the optics need frequent cleaning.
Often a secondary mirror is used to redirect the light into a more convenient viewing spot. The secondary mirror and its supports can produce diffraction effects: bright objects have spikes (the ``christmas star effect'').

hope this helped!

adoni [48]

Answer:

Disruptive selection

Explanation:

According to the infographic that is attached below showing different the three main types of selection that occurs as a result of natural selection taking its course on any population, we can draw our conclusion regarding the information given to us from the question.

From the question above, it states that the finches studied by Darwin are majorly finches with either small beak or large beak which are all adapted to suit the type of food available for the finches in the islands. Whereas, finches with intermediate beaks are favored against.

According to the infographic, disruptive selection can be said to have taken place as extreme traits are favored against intermediate traits on the islands.

Virty [35]
The overall three-dimensional structure of a polypeptide is called its tertiary structure. The tertiary structure is primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids that make up the protein.
