What inferences can you make regarding the pH of a particular part of the digestive system and the type and relative size of the
Sonbull [250]
<span>The inferences I can make regarding the pH of a particular part of the digestive system is that it has a pH of 3. I know that 7 is neutral, and 8-14 is basic. I know that below 7 is acidic. The lower the number is from 7, the more acidic it is. I know that hydrochloric acid is quite acidic because I feel the burn from it when I get acid reflux attacks. I think the relative size of carbon-based molecules are the size of a nickel, which I think is quite large. I think this because humans need carbon to live and a lot of foods contain carbon, so a lot of carbon molecules are broken down in the digestive tract.</span>

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Because the have similar limbs.

Because they have similar functions.

Explanation:

(because they have similar limbs)

Homology (evolution) describes a structure that has similar function like limbs on dogs and bears (used for walking) and also have a similar arrangement of bones. The fins on a doplhin might be different from the wings on a bat but they reflect a common origin due to their bone composition e.g carpals and radius bones.

(because they have similar functions)

Analogy (evolution) describes a structure with  for example, bird and butterfly wings that have no common ancestor but have the same purpose, in this case flying. They developed independtly as adaptions. This supports natural selection which is a driving force for evolution.
