Punctuated Equilibrium is a theory about how the evolutionary process works and it describes how species originate rapidly. Shortly described, punctuated equilibrium can be represented by a group of organisms that get isolated from the rest of their species. They evolve fast, because they are a small group and then they can spread and replace their parent species. So, evolution happened in rapid bursts over short periods, according to punctuated equilibrium theory.

Fossil records are very static, show lack of change and the lack of transitional forms. So, the sudden appearance of new organisms in sedimentary layers is used to support punctuated equilibrium theory.

Scientists believe green algae to be the ancestors of land plants. The classification division separating algae from the kingdom
MatroZZZ [7]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) roots. B) spores. C) seed pods. D) chlorophyll.

Answer:

A) roots

Explanation:

The vascular plants are evolved from the Bryophytes which are evolved from the algae.

The algae are non-vascular plants and Bryophytes too. The vascular plants developed the vascular tissue to transport the absorbed water and nutrients from the terrestrial surface.

The plants living during the Devonian period possessed the vascular tissue to transport the nutrients but to absorb the nutrients and water, they also possessed the roots.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

During respiration, members of the animal kingdom use ______ and then release ______ as a waste gas.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Let's look at the cellular respiration equation

oxygen+glucose--> water + carbon dioxide + ATP

In the process, oxygen is used. We inhale oxygen and use it in cellular respiration. We then create carbon dioxide which is exhaled out. We don't use the carbon dioxide, so it is the waste product.

Therefore, the answer is C. Oxygen is used, and carbon dioxide is released as waste.

Give ten reasons why it is difficult to decide whether viruses are living organisms
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Viruses are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy. Even though they definitely replicate and adapt to their environment, viruses are more like androids than real living organisms.
