According to most theories about the evolution of early life on earth, the atmosphere had an abundance of ammonia, methane, and

carbon dioxide, shown above. Free energy from lightning could have allowed chemical reactions to occur that generated the precursors to life on earth. Which inorganic molecule(s) are accurately paired with their role in the formation of organic molecules necessary to life?
A) Ammonia would have provided the nitrogen found in the amine groups of amino acid and the nitrogenous bases in DNA.

B) Methane would have provided the hydrogen to form water, a universal solvent for chemical reactions supporting life.

C) Ammonia would have provided the electrons to generate ATP using an electron transport chain within the mitochondria.

D) Carbon dioxide would have provided the oxygen needed to perform photosynthesis, resulting in the production of glucose.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>The correct option would be </em><em>A.</em>

<u>The presence of ammonia in the atmosphere of primitive earth provided the nitrogen found in the amine groups of amino acid and the nitrogenous bases in DNA. This has been proven through the simulation experiment of the primitive earth's atmosphere by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey.</u>

The water in the primitive atmosphere was formed from the condensation of water vapour from volcanoes that were characterics of the earth's environment while oxygen in itself is not needed for photosynthesis but a by-product of it.

Habitat: Coyotes are able to easily adapt to different habitats. They can be found living anywhere from the Sonoran Desert to large, populated cities.
Food: Coyotes will eat nearly anything. They hunt rabbits, rodents, frogs, fish, and even deer. they also eat insects, snakes, fruit, and grass.
Reproductive Process:  Reproduction<span> in the </span>coyote<span> is a very intricate </span>process<span>, as females are completely infertile for ten months out of the year, and males are sterile for eight. The </span>process<span> begins with several males vying for the attention of a single female.</span> In spring, females den and give birth to litters of three to twelve pups. Both parents feed and protect their young and their territory.
Human and Environmental Challenges: Coyotes face many challenges. They are often hunted by other larger animals. Humans also hunt them when they are interfering with their crops or livestock.
Migration pattern: <span>According to a study, coyotes migrated eastward via two main route: one that went through the northern United States, and one that went through the south. Oddly enough, the Northern and Southern coyotes seemed to meet midway</span>

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it  indicates  low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.

Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb,  decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.

<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.

As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and  favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules  binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.
