Currently, two extant elephant species (X and Y) are placed in the genus Loxodonta, and a third species (Z) is placed in the gen

us Elephas. Thus, which statement should be true?
Species X and Y are not related to species Z.
A) Species X and Y share a greater number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.
B) Species X and Y share a common ancestor that is still extant (in other words, not yet extinct).
C) Species X and Y are the result of artificial selection from an ancestral species Z.
D) Species X, Y, and Z share a common ancestor, but nothing more can be claimed than this

Answer:

A. Species X and Y share a greater number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.

Explanation:

In taxonomy,  living organisms are placed into groups according to their similarities.

Genus is a classification group above of species. It consists of species that are closely related.

For the species X and Y to be placed in the same genus, they must be sharing a greater number of similarities or homologies compared to species Z.

Species Z does not have greater similarity with either Species X or species Y

If the knee was held rigid and the biceps femoris contracted, what movement would occur
stich3 [128]

Answer and Explanation:

The femoral biceps is one of the hamstrings. These muscles are located in the back of the thigh and are the most important knee flexors.

In addition, the biceps have the ability to extend the thigh over the pelvis and rotate the hip laterally. This is because it has a muscular belly that originates from the hip, more precisely in the ischial tuberosity of the ischium.

When the biceps are contracted, its most important function is to contract the knee, but if it remains rigid its function will be mainly the extension of the thigh.

Using a food label, explain what each section will tell you and why that would be important to, say, a long-distance runner.
IRINA_888 [86]
Nutrition labels diagram1 - Start with the serving information at the top.

This will tell you the size of a single serving and the total number of servings per container (package).

2 - Next, check total calories per serving and container.

Pay attention to the calories per serving and how many calories you’re really consuming if you eat the whole package. If you double the servings you eat, you double the calories and nutrients.

The next section of information on a nutrition label is about the amounts of specific nutrients in the product.

3 - Limit certain nutrients.

Check key nutrients and understand what you’re looking for. Not all fats are bad , and total sugars can include both natural and added sugars. Limit the amounts of added sugars , saturated fat and sodium you eat, and avoid trans fat. When choosing among different brands or similar products, compare labels and choose foods with less of these nutrients when possible..

4 - Get enough of the beneficial nutrients.

Make sure you get enough of the nutrients your body needs, such as: calcium, choline, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins A, C, D and E.*

5 - Understand % Daily Value.

The % Daily Value (DV) tells you the percentage of each nutrient in a single serving, in terms of the daily recommended amount. If you want to consume less of a nutrient (such as saturated fat or sodium), choose foods with a lower % DV (5 percent or less). If you want to consume more of a nutrient (such as fiber), choose foods with a higher % DV (20 percent or more).

Here are more tips for getting as much health information as possible from the Nutrition Facts label:

Remember that the information shown in the label is based on a diet of 2,000 calories a day. You may need less or more than 2,000 calories depending upon your age, gender, activity level, and whether you’re trying to lose, gain or maintain your weight.

When the Nutrition Facts label says a food contains “0 g” of trans fat, but includes “partially hydrogenated oil” in the ingredient list, it means the food contains some trans fat, but less than 0.5 grams per serving. So, if you eat more than one serving, you could end up eating too much trans fat.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the Nutrition Facts label seen on packaged foods and drinks. In 2016, the FDA released changes to the label to make it easier to see how many calories and added sugars are in a product and to make serving sizes more realistic. These changes are still being implemented throughout the food industry, so for now you may see the redesigned version shown here or the old original version.

Why is atp use in cells analogous to the use of currency in society?
tamaranim1 [39]
ATP is the resource by which the cell gets everything done.  ATP is spent in a similar way as money is.  ATP is used for its energy to help the cell run efficiently.  It earns ATP through energy creation, then has to spend it to perform other vital functions.
