What environmental pressure would cause primitive fish to adopt the genetic capacity to live on land?

Biology
1 answer:
son4ous [18]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Decrease in water/oxygen levels of the aquatic environment

Explanation:

<u>The environmental pressure that would cause primitive fish to adopt the genetic capacity to live on land would be a decrease in water levels of the aquatic environment.</u>

A constant decrease in water level that keeps exposing the fish to dry land will enable natural selection to start selecting for traits that will enable them to survive on land, especially, the development of lungs in the place of gills, the capacity to walk instead of swimming, and the capacity to avoid desiccation.

<em>A decrease in water level will mean a decrease in the amount of oxygen available for gill's respiration. Respiration is an important process for any organism to stay alive. </em>

<em>A decrease in water level also means an exposure to sun. The heat from the sun could cause death by desiccation.</em>

<em>A decrease in water level means that movement (through swimming) will be limited. Movement is necessary for feeding and other biological activities.</em>

What is energy coupling?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

c: the use of energy released from an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic reaction.

Explanation:

<em>Energy coupling is a process involving two reactions whereby one of the reactions generate energy, and the generated energy is used to drive the other reaction. </em>

A reaction during which energy is generated is referred to as exergonic reaction while one in which energy is consumed is known as endergonic reaction. Hence, energy coupling can also be viewed as a process linking exergonic and endergonic reactions whereby the energy released in the former is used up by the latter.

A good example is illustrated by the light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis during which the ATP and NADPH produced during the light dependent reaction is used to fix carbon dioxide in the light independent reaction.

<em>The correct answer is C.</em>
