Answer:

d. The carbon atoms came from carbon dioxide and were incorporated into sugars through photosynthesis in the grass.

Explanation:

Grass eating cows are heterotrophs and can not synthesize the organic sugars by themselves. They derive it from grasses they eat.  

Grasses are the autotrophs that can fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. The extra glucose formed during photosynthesis is stored in the cells of grasses in the form of starch and becomes a source of carbon for herbivores such as cows.

Mutation is an important mechanism for evolutionary change. Which type of mutations contribute to evolution?
rodikova [14]
Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.
<span>
Functional or Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>

Factors such as age, gender, family history, and genetics are <u>nonmodifiable</u><u /> risk factors, while <u>modifiable</u><u /> risk factors are ones that are in your power to change.
You cannot change your age, family history or genetics - you will age no matter what, and you will inherit some traits from your ancestors whether you like it or not. Gender is more flexible nowadays as there are surgeries that can help people change their gender.
