1) The limbs of a bat and the forelimbs of a bird is an example of Analogous structures

2) The arm of a human and the arm of chimpazee is an example of Homologous structures

3) Frogs and salamanders is an example of Homologous structures

Homologous structures, are organs or systems of different living beings that have a common origin, but different adaptations. For example, the extremities of a dog and a dolphin, are homologous, have similar bones, only that some adapted to the race and others to swimming. On the other hand, analogous structures are organs or systems of different living beings that do not have a close origin in common, but are adapted to the same environment, for example, fins of fish and dolphin fins, the function is the same, the origin is different; or the wings of birds and the wings of insects.

What are at least three differences between apes and humans in the cranium and teeth?

Mama L [17]

The following are key characteristics of ape skulls that human skulls do not have:

(1) Prognathic Jaws: A chimpanzee’s maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) protrude significantly. Typically, the bone from the nose to the tip of upper teeth extrudes out at about a 45 degree angle, whereas a line drawn from the nose to the chin of a typical human is vertical or concave.

(2) Large Brow Ridges above the eye sockets. Humans have negligible brow ridges.

(3) Absent or small laid back forehead: Apes lack significant vertical foreheads. Humans have large vertical foreheads, which provide room for the much larger frontal lobeof our brains. This is an important difference, as the large frontal lobe of the human brain allows us the ability to make decisions and solve problems. It also controls our behaviors, voluntary movements, emotions, and consciousness. Without a forehead, an animal would not have room for a large frontal lobe, and could not perform functions that differentiate animals from humans. The ability to make tools, improve on them, and the ability to remember how to make them, wouldn’t be possible without a forehead and large frontal lobe.

(4) Small Ovoid or Flat Cranium that houses their much smaller brains. Human adult craniums are about two to three times the volume of ape craniums. Ape craniums are narrower than the lateral extents of the eye sockets, whilst human craniums are far wider then the outer extend of their eye sockets.

A punch is painful, while a hug is not, because a punch produces _______ action potentials from each sensory neuron. A) stronger

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

B) more frequent

Explanation:

This occurs because a punch produces more frequent action potentials from each sensory neuron. This is only caused when there are rapid and sudden changes. A punch is fast and causes very sudden changes when the punch comes into contact with the human body. This therefore, causes these fast and sudden changes which fire very frequently from each sensory neuron. A hug is soft and does not affect the human body in such a sudden way so it does not cause frequent action potentials.

If humans run out of following resources, which resource would be most difficult to replace

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Petroleum

Explanation:

Like all fossil fuels, petroleum is a nonrenewable energy resource. This means that it is a resource that cannot be replaced as quickly as humans use up existing supplies. Humans face a problem because once petroleum reserves begin to run out, there won't be enough fuel to power all the automobiles in the world.
