Answer:

The correct answer is the second statement.

Explanation:

The molecular clock refers to a procedure in molecular evolution that associate the time of divergence between the two species with the number of molecular differences determined between the sequences of DNA or proteins.  

The more genetically associated, the shorter will be the separation time between the two species. Due to this, as clams and squid are more closely associated it can be concluded that these species look more genetically identical, and have evolved distinctly for a brief time duration in comparison to the clams and snails.

List in order the various fluid compartments that a glucose molecule would encounter beginning with absorption from the lumen of
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The correct list of compartments glucose enter is :

The lumen > plasma (extracellular fluid) > interstitial fluid (extracellular fluid) >   the skeletal muscle cell (intracellular fluid)

Explanation:

The glucose molecule would start from the lumen of the intestine where is absorbed. The glucose enters the plasma a part of the circulatory system known as extracellular fluid.

The glucose also encounters another type of extracellular fluid the interstitial fluid that is not in the circulatory system. At the last glucose as it is entering the skeletal muscle cell the last fluid compartment, which is intracellular fluid. This fluid is inside the cells.

Water vapor is the "fuel" for the hurricanes because it releases the "latent heat of condensation" when it condenses to form clouds and rain, warming the surrounding air. (This heat energy was absorbed by the water vapor when it was evaporated from the warm ocean surface, cooling the ocean in the process
