Answer:

Their cell walls are composed of very different biochemicals.

Explanation:

Biological classification is important to classify the organisms on the basis of their similarities and differences between them. Linnaeus is known as the father of biological classification.

Cellwall plays an important role in the maintenance of structure and function of the organisms. The composition of the cell wall of fungi, plants and prokaryotes are quite different. Plants cell wall made of cellulose, fungi has chitin in its cell wall and prokaryotes has different layers of cell wall.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

11. Which is a density-dependent factor?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

Density-dependent factors are biological factors adopted by the population as a resource. The things can be like shelter, food, or different poor resources. Density-dependent factors affect fitful variations in the population as its density fluctuations. If the population is small, these portions typically support improved rates of birth and lower will be the death rates, empowering the population to increase and when the population is big and thick, these factors display that the birth rate is decreased and death rate became higher.

What is the primary energy system to fuel cycling at 70% of VO2 Max for 15 minuets?
ANEK [815]
The primary energy system to fuel cycling for 15 minutes is THE AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS SYSTEM.
There are different energy systems for fueling different types of physical exercise, the type of system that is used depend on the duration of the physical exercise. The energy system that exist are anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis, phosphagem system and fatty acid oxidation. The aerobic glycolysis energy system relies on the complete breakdown of glucose. The pyruvate which is the end product of glucose oxidation is further broken down to acetyl coA, which then enters into the citric acid cycle. The aerobic glycolysis energy system is used for physical exercises that last between three to twenty minutes.

A small island is home to a unique population of land snails. This population was founded by 10 individuals that floated to the
vekshin1

Answer:

  • The Island population likely has fewer alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.

       A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>

  • Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than in the mainland population in these first few generations

       A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>

  • Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than in the mainland population

       <u>A- Agree</u>- B- Disagree

  • Biologist observed genetic drift but not evolution

       <u>A- Agree</u> B- Disagree

Explanation:

If there was genetic drift, then allele frequency either increased or decreased by chance, irrespective of natural selection that is irrespective to weather those alleles helped individuals survive in the island environment. In molecular genetic data, there are statistical signature in the  population variation that indicate weather selection or other processes occurred.

Explain the relationship between the second law of thermodynamics and the net energy of an
Anton [14]

Answer:

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is about the quality of energy. It states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. The Second Law also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state

is that helpful?
