If there are respiring organisms within that sample of air, the partial pressure of oxygen decreases because the organisms utilize it for respiration activities.
Answer:
To find the extinct species and their divergence of characters can be studied using molecular genetic techniques.
Explanation:
- Paleontology is the study of ancient species and their remaining that were found millions of years ago. These species extinction can be found and manipulated to find out the origin or divergence of species from their origin
- The samples of these species may contains their remains that help the biologist to isolate and analyze their protein or DNA. when the DNA is isolated their sequences can be generated using molecular biology techniques.
- When the sequences are identified by advanced molecular biology techniques, the existence and similarities of different species due to their convergence or divergence can be identified.
- By identifying the convergence or divergence the characteristics, evolutionary change in behavior, variation in appearance can be studied.
- By using these techniques, biologist have found that <em>homo sapiens</em> are 99% have their similarities with chimpanzee
- Thus, using genetics in paleontology helps us to understand adaptation a species is changing according to the evolutionary changes.
The best answer is C - to break down food into nutrients.
The digestive system breaks down food into its simplest form that cell are able to utilize for energy. Food is broken down into its monomer units. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.
Glucose is then absorbed into the blood and transported to every cell in the body. The cells take in glucose and use it as fuel and raw material in the process of cellular respiration. From one molecule of glucose, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP ( the form of energy used by cells) are produced.
