The main difference is in the presence of a carbon atom; organic compounds will contain a carbon atom (and often a hydrogen atom, to form hydrocarbons), while almost all inorganic compounds do not contain either of those two atoms. ... Meanwhile, inorganic compounds include the salts, metals, and other elemental compounds.

Answer: Carbon backbone is present in organic molecules. Inorganic molecules do not have carbon.

Explanation:

The main difference between inorganic and organic compound is the presence of a carbon backbone in the organic molecules. While, inorganic compounds do not have it, this means it lacks a carbon atom (except CO2, which is considered inorganic)

Carbon has the ability to form large and complex molecules and bond to itself many times, and it can be bonded to hydrogen and also other atoms.

<u>For example, living organisms are made of organic molecules</u> because they form DNA, lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. Meanwhile, examples of <u>inorganic compounds include metals, salts</u> and others.

Which organisms are not examples of an adaptive radiation?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Option B, Mammals and reptiles in the post-dinosaur age.

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation is mechanism through which species evolve very fast from common single ancestors. In simple words two different species are said to have evolved through adaptive radiation when they have descended from a single lineage. This is not the case with mammals and reptiles.  

Generally in adaptive radiation, a species evolve when it faces new environmental challenges due to change of habitat or area. For example mammals have evolved from dinosaurs.  

Hence, option B is correct
