Evolution is caused by genetic mutations that become favorable for survival.
For example if a bird has a mutation that gives it a longer beak and it lives in an environment in which a longer beak lets the bird catch more food- the longer beak becomes a favorable trait.
Now the bird is able to survive “better” thus it lives longer(due to its ability to catch more food). Because of this it reproduces more and passes the trait on to its offspring.
Overtime this mutation takes over the population of birds in the area.
Answer:
This is due to lactic acid accumulation in Emma's leg muscles.
Explanation:
In the absence of oxygen in the muscle cells, the cell switches from performing aerobic respiration to lactic acid fermentation. The lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid as a product, which builds up in the muscle cells of the body causing a burning sensation and pain. This often happens during exercises.
This is the cause of Emma's pain in her lower leg muscles. Lactic acid has been formed and accumulated in the muscle cells of her leg during the exercise with her brother.
<em>When water is abundant:</em>
-Temporal regulation of stomata is used:
Open during the day
Closed at night
- At night, there is no photosynthesis, so no demand for CO2 inside the leaf.
- Sunny day = demand for CO2 in leaf is high = stomata wide open.
- As there is plenty of water, plant trades water loss for photosynthesis products.
- If the leaf's CO2 concentration is low, the stomata will stay open to continue fueling photosynthesis.
- High temperatures will also signal stomata to close.
- When limited water is available in the soil, plants try to prevent water loss.
Because water is not alive
Answer:
C. The graph supports this theory, as it shows a gradual decline in populations of Adelie penguins.
Explanation:
Since Adelie penguins depend on ice to survive, a decline of ice would spell chaos for their survival. And coupled with the fact global warming means a bigger fluctuation of temperatures and a faster melting of ice on Earth, that would line up with the data of the decreasing Adelie penguins.
Hope this helped!
