The structures given in the picture above are homologous to each other. Homologous structures are those, which belong to different organisms but are similar in their structure as they have a common acestory. The functions of these homologous structures may or may not be similar. The limbs of the human, horse, cat, bat, bird and whale share a similar basic structure. The function is more or less similar as far as these limbs are concerned.

The limbs of the organisms are similar because they are formed in similar ways during embryonic development and share similar arrangements.

If an object turns but maintains the same speed,has its acceleration changed?explain

Andreas93 [3]

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity
Since velocity is a vector, it has both speed and direction.
So, if the object is travelling in a straight line at a constant speed, then it will not be accelerating. Both Magnitude and direction are constant.
However, if the object is travelling in a circle at a constant speed, then it'll be accelerating. An Object going in a circle is constantly changing it's direction, which means velocity is changing, so there is an acceleration caused by a net force.
Hope this Helps :)

Fdsci 101 what general trend do you observe relative to the masses of these species? question 3 options: all species basically h

Alexandra [31]

The third and last option is correct.

Species in the past (referring to dinosaurs) were more massive.

$\bf~CO_{2}$ levels where higher in the past, which meant that plants prospered during that time since they had a easy access to food. That contributes to the fact that herbivores could grow bigger because there was more food. Which in turn, increases the size of early carnivores which eat bigger herbivores.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).
