Answer:

chitin and murein

Explanation:

The chemical compounds that distinguish bacteria cell from yeast cell are  

chitin and murein

Chitin is a polysaccharide present in the exoskeleton of fungi made up of chains of modified glucose known as N-acetylglucosamine. N-acetylglucosamine is derived from glucose

While murein is a mesh like structure made up of sugar and amino acids. Murein forms a layer outside the plasma membrane of bacterial cell.

Answer:

Peptidoglycan and chitin.

Explanation:

Bacteria and yeast differ from each due to the different chemical composition of their cell wall.

Chitin: chitin is a large structural polysaccharide that is derived from chains of modified glucose. It is the primary components of cell wall in fungi such as yeast. Chitin is a minor component in the yeast cell wall, it accounts for only 1-2% of the cell wall dry mass. Chitin contributes to the mechanical strength of the cell wall.

Peptidoglycan: Peptidoglycan also known as murein is a polymer that makes up a the cell wall of a bacterium. It is composed of sugars and amino acids. A bacteria is a unicellular organism, therefore Peptidoglycan gives strength to the outer structure of the organism.

Need help with this evolution chart some I've filled in yet I'm not sure if they are correct.Plz help anybody
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

This is correct. The remaining portion:

Sympatric species that form interrelationships undergo coevolution.

Allopatric species in different environments can undergo convergent evolution.

Allopatric species in small populations and under intense environmental conditions can undergo genetic drift.

Explanation:

On the basis of geographical distance, speciation is of two major types:

  1. Sympatric
  2. Allopatric

Sympatric Speciation:

Sympatric speciation is the formation of new species with no gergraphical separation from the ancestor. The new and parent species both exist in the same environment but do not interbreed due to mechanisms of reproductive isolation. These involves both prezygotic and post zygotic barriers to reproduction such as timing of mating, sensitivity to pheromones, choice of mating sites or infertility and mismatched gametes. Species formed through sympatric speciation can form interrelationships and undergo coevolution i.e. the evolution of ones species is dependent on the other.  

Allopatric Speciation:

It involves the geographical separation of the parent and new species. These species could be geographically separated by a river, mountain range or land mass.

Although, allopatric species evolve independently, they may develop similar characteristics that serve different functions. Allopatric species in radically different environments undergo convergent evolution i.e. species evolve similar characteristics without any ancestral homology.

Allopatric species that reside in small populations and are under harsh environmental pressures undergo a rapid genetic revolution i.e. genetic drift. This includes the Founder's and bottleneck effect that involve the continuation of a species from very few individuals after a drastic, sudden environmental change.

What does the sympathetic and parasympathetic do ?
svetlana [45]

The sympathetic and parasympathetic are responsible for the body's spontaneous actions, such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion, body temperature control.

<h3>What is the function of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?</h3>

The sympathetic nervous system acts in an opposite way to the parasympathetic one, preparing the organism to react in situations of fear, stress and excitement, adapting the functioning of several internal systems to a high state of readiness.

In this case, the Sympathetic nervous system also controls body functions that are rarely conscious and parasympathetic nervous system the part of the autonomic nervous system responsible for stimulating actions that allow the body to respond to calm.

What is the main similarity between the processes of artificial selection and natural selection?
Gnesinka [82]
Natural selection involve natural causes while artificial selection is by human breeding or human intervention.
The process of domestication is called artificial selection. Like natural selection, artificial selection acts by allowing differential reproductive success to individuals with different  genetically determined traits in order to increase the frequency of desirable traits in the population. Natural selection and selective breeding can both cause changes in animals and plants. The difference between the two is that natural selection happens naturally, but selective breeding only occurs when humans intervene.
