Answer:

B) oaks and other sexually reproducing, extant (currently living) trees

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines the species on the basis of their reproductive isolation. It states that when individuals are able to interbreed to produce fertile and viable progeny, they belong to the same species. The members of different biological species cannot interbreed. If they interbreed, either pre-zygotic or post-zygotic isolation mechanisms do not allow the production of fertile progeny.

Therefore, the biological species concept can be applied to the organisms that are able to reproduce sexually. The asexually reproducing organisms would not exhibit any reproductive isolation which is a key criterion to group organisms under different species. Among the given examples, biological species concept can be applied to the sexually reproducing extant trees such as oak.

Since we cannot deduce the reproductive isolation in sexually reproducing extinct species, the concept is not useful for dinosaurs which are extinct now.

The energy animals need for their life functions is released when their cells carry out which of the following functions
Vlad [161]

Cellular respiration

Explanation:

The energy animals need for their life functions are released when their cells carry out cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process by which living organisms breaks down organic molecules using oxygen  especially glucose to produce energy and gives off carbon dioxide and water in the process.

It is the reverse of photosynthesis.

During this process, chemical energy stored in food substances are released and converted to heat energy.

The process takes place in the mitochondria of a cell.

Which veterinary professionals design the veterinary curriculum? please help ​
Virty [35]

Answer:

Recent studies of the veterinary profession have established a need for training in various areas beyond those directed toward building competence and proficiency as a clinician. To address this need, a workshop was designed whose objective was to develop a detailed outline of a model curriculum that would encompass the skills, knowledge, aptitudes, and attitudes deemed essential for economic success in the veterinary profession. The model curriculum was created from comprehensive input provided by consultants and educators. Constraints for implementation of this curriculum are identified, and future directions are discussed.

Can anyone explain the role of the neurotransmitters in the synapse?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Our nervous system runs on chemical synapses ! that means we need chemical to transfer information from one neuron to another !

so when the signal reaches the synaptic knob of one neuron , it stimulates the neurotransmitters containing vacuoles to release the neurotransmitters !

the neurotransmitters may be dopamine, acetylcholine etc and after reaching the dendrites of other neuron, it stimulates signal in the other neuron and thus a signal travel from one part of body to other !
