Answer:

As the heart pumps, glucose is carried in the bloodstream to cells all over the animal’s body. Oxygen which enters the animal’s body through its respiratory system (lungs, gills, skin, or exoskeleton) is carried by its transport system (blood for many animals to every animal cell. Once the glucose and oxygen arrive in the cell they can go through a chemical reaction. Glucose reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Cells transform the chemical energy in the glucose molecules into energy for cell functions, motion energy, and heat. Because of cellular respiration, muscle cells have access to the energy necessary to contract or relax in response to a signal from the brain sent through nerve cells, so muscles can contract or relax enabling the animal to move. During cellular respiration, energy is released in the cell to enable the work of the cell to occur. The atoms found in glucose are rearranged into carbon dioxide and water and are no longer needed by the cell so they are considered waste products. Cells have to get rid of unwanted waste products. Carbon dioxide and water move out of cells and into the blood. The blood carries the carbon dioxide and water to different places in different animals (the lungs, gills, skin, kidneys, or exoskeleton) where they are released into the environment. Animal movement we observe at the macroscopic scale is possible because cellular respiration is happening at the atomic-molecular scale.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

D. analogous.

Explanation:

Analogous organs can be defined as organs, which show similar functions, but do not having common origins. Organisms that possess analogous organs do not share common ancestor as their organs are derived from different origins.

Examples of analogous organs include wings of bats, birds, and birds which are evolved independently, but share common function (flying).

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

What percentage of precipitation falls back onto land? a. 78% b. 92% c. 17% d. 22%

Usimov [2.4K]

22% percentage of precipitation falls back onto land.

Answer: D. 22%

Explanation:

Water cycle is the phenomenon in which both evaporation and condensation or precipitation of water takes place. Water evaporates from the lakes, ponds, oceans and other water bodies to the atmosphere because of the heat.

The evaporated water or water vapour then form clouds which gets precipitated or condensed and falls back to the land in the form of rain, snow, hail storm, sleet etc.

However, all the forms that fall into the land have one thing in common i.e., all of them come from clouds as the clouds get heavy by the evaporated water.

ANSWER AND QUESTION.....

Mistletoe steals nutrients and """water"""

from its host plant.

A. Carbon Dioxide

B. Water

Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant. Their parasitic lifestyle has led to some dramatic changes in their metabolism.
