Answer:

Homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous structures are structures (i.e skeletal elements) that come from the same common ancestor but they appear in the descendants of the ancestor with some modifications, normally due to different functions.

The wing of bats, flippers of whales or dolphins and the forelimbs of horses is a common example of homologous structures. Bats, whales and horses are vertebrates and all came from the same vertebrate common ancestor.

The common ancestor of these organisms had the bones that make up these structures, but through evolution those bones that make up the homologous structure were modified to serve different functions. They were modified for the flight in bats, for swimming in whales and for life on land in horses.

An aquarium has a volume of 2.75 cubic meters. How many liters of water can the aquarium hold?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

2,750 liters of water

Explanation:

A cubic meter or 1 m³ is equivalent to 1,000 liters. Knowing this you can covert 2.75 m³ to liters.

2.75 m^{3} \times \dfrac{1,000L}{1m^{3}}= 2.75 \times 1,000L = 2,750 L

Just remember if you're using this method that always put the value with the unit that you want to convert as the denominator so you can cancel them out.
