Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.
Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.
Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.
Explanation:
Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.
Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.
Answer:
- Organism A is most likely a herbivore
- Organism B is most likey a carnivore
Explanation:
Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.
Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.
- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.
The answer would be letter a
ATP has one more phosphate group than ADP
