Highly porous and permeable

Explanation:

Compared to other types of rock layers, an aquifer is highly porous and permeable.

Aquifers are always the target when prospecting for ground water in a formation.

  • Porosity is the amount of void spaces in a rock.
  • Aquifers are highly porous .
  • Permeability is the inter-connectivity of the void spaces and their ability to transmit fluids.
  • Aquifers have very high permeability compared to other rock types.

In terms of permeability and porosity, an aquifer is higher porous and permeable.

omeli [17]

Answer:

<u>A. red blood cells containing malaria</u>

Explanation:

Malaria is a disease-causing pathogen in humans. It is caused by species of the parasite <em>Plasmodium sp.</em><em>,</em> which is transmitted as sporozoites by the Anopheles mosquito upon biting the host. These travel through the bloodstream to the liver where they mature into merozoites. These reenter the bloodstream and mature into trophozoites and schizonts that produce more merozoites.

When they multiply within the red blood cell, they <u>burst the red blood cell open</u>, and go on to infect other cells. This infection's symptoms are cyclic and include high fever, chills and other flu-like symptoms.

Malaria is a deadly illness, causing harm to its hosts, and in many cases death. <u>Thus, this cannot be defined as symbiosis, which is typically beneficial to both organisms.</u>

Genetically identical armadillos were kept in the same controlled environment from birth and provided the same diet. Even though
Vlada [557]

Phenotypic variations in genetically identical organisms that grow in the same controlled environment may be due to mutation.

<h3>Mutation</h3>

This refers to a sudden change to the DNA sequence of living organisms.

When the DNA base sequence of organisms changes, the effect is shown in the morphology of organisms.

For organisms that are genetically identical but grow in different environments, phenotypic variations might exist as a result of environmentally acquired traits during the struggle to adapt to their environments.

In the same environment, however, genetically identical organisms are not expected to be phenotypically different, unless a mutation to the DNA of one has occurred.

Fill in the blanks to make the following statement true
Arisa [49]

Answer:An inherited, natural selection.

Explanation: Adaptation is the process through which living organisms develop mechanisms this mechanisms may be Inherited to enable them survive competition and other prevailing circumstances. Which can also be environmental, climatic factors etc.

Adaptation helps to ensure the principle of NATURAL SELECTION,where organisms which have been able to develop similar mechanisms or have natural mechanisms that has enabled them to survive the prevailing circumstances in the habitat.

Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have
liubo4ka [24]

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.
