Answer:

The Continental drift theory

Explanation:

The Marsupials are the mammals that are mostly found in Australia and America and are characterized by the presence of a pouch that is attached to their body.

These mammals evolved from the reptiles and present abundantly in the Cenozoic era, after the extinction of dinosaurs. But they first appeared during the time of existence of dinosaurs. The continents of Australia and America eventually got separated before the naturally occurring placental mammals could evolve. This suggested a piece of evidence for the continental drift theory.

This theory describes that the continents float across the large oceans from one place to another with respect to the fixed poles.

What is the potential energy in the thylakoid membrane used for?
liubo4ka [24]

The right answer is to perform photosynthesis (more precisely to convert ADP to ATP by ATP synthase).

Light comes to us in the form of photons. These photons have a different energy potential depending on their wavelength.

When a pigment picks up a photon corresponding to its absorption capacity, one of its electrons goes into the excited state. This energy can be transmitted in 3 ways: either by spreading it in the form of photon or heat; both ways lose energy. The third is to transmit resonance energy and there is almost no loss of energy.

A photosystem consists of a reaction center and a collector antenna to optimize the absorption of photons triggering photochemical reactions in order to operate the ATP synthase to produce ATP in the presence of a hydrogen gradient.

In what way does healing of cartilage occur in adults (a person who has stopped growing)
Elden [556K]

In the adults, the growth rate slows with age. The healing mechanism of the different cells if damaged is different than that of the younger ones. If a cartilage is damage in the adults, the chondrocytes which are still surviving secrete more extracellular matrix in order to heal the damaged cartilage. The chondrocytes cells are present in the cartilage, and they function to maintain the cellular matrix of the cartilage.

Which of the following best describes a change in the sequence of DNA of an organism?
Naddik [55]

DNA is a dynamic and adaptable molecule. As such, the nucleotide sequences found within it are subject to change as the result of a phenomenon called mutation. Depending on how a particular mutation modifies an organism's genetic makeup, it can prove harmless, helpful, or even hurtful.

Mutation (A)
