Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Planets orbit around the Sun (star) due to the gravity of this star which pulls down them around it. This gravity is the vital force which maintains the elliptical path of their orbit.

If this force of gravity will change it will affect the celestial bodies revolving around it like a planet as this force of gravity is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

According to the question if the gravity of the star increases it will change the orbital path of the planets as they will be more pulled towards the sun which will decrease the distance between the star and planet and the orbital path will become smaller and the orbital period will increase.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is : prokaryotic organisms like E. coli and higher organisms share common ancestor.

Explanation:

E. Coli is a prokaryotic organism or bacteria. On the metabolic level these organisms share similar homology with the higher organism other than this these organisms also show same core functions with higher level organisms such as elephant.

These similarities suggest that the all the living organisms share a common ancestor. The french scientist Jacques Monod statement "Anything found to be true of E. Coli must also be true of elephants." is also based on this notion.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Type 2 diabetes mellitus generally reflect declining receptor sensitivity to insulin rather than decreased insulin production- True.

Most Type II diabetes do not produce insulin- False.

Explanation:

Diabetes mellitus may be defined as the group of metabolic disorder that re characterized by the high blood glucose levels in the body of an individual.The receptor sensitivity decreases towards insulin decreases in Type II diabetes.

The insulin is produced in the proper amount during Type II diabetes. The receptors are unable to respond towards the diabetes.

Thus, the answer is a)-True

                                b)-False.

During the late cretaceous, the bisti badlands were home to numerous animals including turtles, crocodiles, and even dinosaurs.
vaieri [72.5K]
These animals were living in an environment with a warm climate that results in changing sea levels. These conditions create a lot of shallow inland seas allowing these animals to thrive. The Cretaceous period is the last period of the Mesozoic area where new groups of mammals, birds, and flowering plants appeared on Earth.
