Explanation:

  • Catastrophism is a theory developed by Georges Cuvier that states that natural history has been punctuated by catastrophic events that altered the way live developed. Gradualism is a theory that stipulates that changes of organic life and earth itself occur through gradual increments with transitions that are slow rather than periodic and rapid. Uniformitarianism suggests that the Earth's geological processes acted in the same manner in the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is accountable for all the geologic change.
  • Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck's theory proposes a change through use and disuse when environments changed, organisms had to change their behavior to survive, if they began to use an organ more often it would increase their lifetime and their offspring will inherit this modified organ. As these organisms adapted, nature also drove them from simple forms to increasingly complex ones.

Summary of climate change
GuDViN [60]
It’s the release of harmful gases e.g. carbon dioxide into the environment due to human activity, therefore causing a rise in global temperatures, which is climate change. Warmer temperatures negatively impact our environment because it causes a decrease in biodiversity, allows more diseases to spread(most live in warmer temp.) and so on.

What is the relationship between Microvilli of gut, epithelium, glucose, circulatory system, capillary fenestrations, glucose/AT
IgorLugansk [536]

All of these are the components of the catabolic pathway or using the nutrients to provide energy from it. The breakdown of food molecules begins in the mouth and continues to the small intestine. The nutrients are absorbed through the wall of the small intestine which. The surface of the intestine wall is specially modified (contains a huge number of hair-like structures-microvilli) which increase nutrient absorption. (more area for nutrients to be absorbed).  The digestive tract is lined with mucosa which consists of simple columnar epithelial cells. Monomer subunits of the food, like glucose are than absorbed and diffused down a concentration gradient into capillary blood. Glucose is converted into pyruvate molecules through the process of glycolysis. Catabolism ends in the major energy-converting organelle, the mitochondrion, where the ATP is produced.
