How was bipedal locomotion important to hominin evolution?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Bipedalism freed the hands so they could be used to cart food,  make and use weapons and other advantages of freed hands.  Bipedalism is a much more efficient way to walk and run and this  fact is quantified.  Bipedalism raised the early proto-human above the horizontal so  he could see predators approaching.  Bipedalism is a much more efficient design to cool down  overheating bodies.

your welcome :)

Answer:

1.Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar used for food. - 1. Location- A

2.Carbon trapped in fossil fuels is converted to carbon dioxide. - 2. Location- C

3.Organic carbon is converted to fossil fuels. -3. Location- E

4.Carbon dioxide is converted to carbonates.- 4. Location- D  

5.Sugar is broken down and converted to carbon dioxide.  - 5. Location- F

Explanation

1. Carbon dioxide is converted to sugar used for food: The carbon dioxide is converted into sugars by the process of photosynthesis, which occurs in the green plants. Plants trap carbon dioxide and sunlight from the atmosphere, to synthesize their food.

2. Carbon trapped in fossil fuels is converted to carbon dioxide: The fossil fuel produced deep inside the earth, acquired by the factory. From the factory the carbon dioxide liberated to the atmosphere.

3. Organic carbon is converted to fossil fuels: The organic carbon obtained after the degradation of organic matter is responsible for the synthesis of fossil fuels.

4. Carbon dioxide is converted to carbonates: The carbon dioxide from the atmosphere gets dissolved with water of the water body and termed as carbonic water.

5.Sugar is broken down and converted to carbon dioxide: The glucose or sugar as a source of food in plants gets broken down into carbon dioxide and water by the process of respiration.

The Competitive Exclusion Principle states that: Group of answer choices a. When two species occur together, competition is alwa
Reika [66]

Answer:

b. Two species that use a limited resource in the same way cannot coexist indefinitely

Explanation:

The competitive exclusion principle establishes that two or more species that share the same niche requirements,  in the same habitat, and are in biological competition for the same resources, won´t be able to coexist indefinitely in the same space if the other ecological factors are constant. This is because species with identical niches have the same necessities, which means that they will compete for the same resources. If these species have the same requirements, they can not coexist. When the superior competitor occupies the inferior competitor´s fundamental niche, the first species has advantages over the second species and <em>monopolizes all the resources</em>. From that moment, the inferior species is displaced and must adapt to use other resources changing its behavior, or must migrate to another area where it can get access to its needs or get extinct.

When <em>two competing species coexist</em>, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. One of the species uses a <em>different resource, occupies another area, or uses the resources at different times during the day</em>. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species.

Niche specialization might produce genotypic separation. Subpopulations of a species diverge into new species.    

So, <em>competitive exclusion refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche.    </em>
