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

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>

Ouabain is a specific inhibitor of the active transport of sodium ions out of the cell and is therefore a valuable tool in studi
Kay [80]

Answer:

1. Part A: No

2. Part B: Yes

3: Part C : Yes

4: Part D : No

Explanation:

1) Part A: Facilitated diffusion of glucose into a muscle cell:

No; sodium ion co - transport is required for active transport of glucose but not for facilitated diffusion of glucose

2) Part B: Active transport of dietary phenylalanine across the intestinal mucosa:

Yes; co - transport of sodium ions drives the inward movement of amino acids and can only occur if sodium ions are actively pumped back out again.

3) Part C: Uptake of potassium ions by red blood cells:

Yes; uptake of potassium ions can occur only via a pump that couples the inward pumping of potassium ions to the outward pumping of sodium ions.

4) Part D: Active uptake of lactose by the bacteria in your intestine

No; active uptake of sugars and amino acids in bacteria is driven by a proton gradient.

Explain what happens when the 3rd phosphate is removed from the ATP​
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

When the terminal (third) phosphate is cut loose, ATP becomes ADP (Adenosine diphosphate; di= two), and the stored energy is released for some biological process to utilize.
