Why do living things depend on diffusion?

1 answer:

8 0

Living organisms obtain many of their requirements by diffusion. They also get rid of many of waste materials in this way. For example, Plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. This diffuses from the air into the leaves through the stomata. It does this because there is a lower concentration of carbon dioxide inside the leaf as the cells are using it up. Outside the leaf in the air, there is a higher concentration. Carbon dioxide molecules therefore diffuse into the leaf down this concentration gradient :)

Why would bourses and mountain goats have hooves

photoshop1234 [79]

Think of it like this. Horses do a LOT of galloping, which is hard on the feet! Hooves are a physical ADAPTATION, so that the horses won't experience pain on their journeys. They're hard, so that the horses don't feel the ground nearly as much. Now, mountain goats travel over rough terrain, with sharp rocks and steep inclines. Again, it's really easy for them to get hurt strutting around the mountains, so they evolved hard hooves to protect their feet.

Answer:

Punctuated Equilibrium

Explanation:

The phyletic gradualism model and the punctuated equilibrium are aspects models of macroevolution that are characterised with varying patterns.

However, the punctuated equilibrium model of evolutionary history consists of geologically long periods of inactivity (stasis) with little or no evolution, interrupted or "punctuated" by geologically short periods of rapid evolution.
