There is obviously not a definite number because there are so many kinds of insects that we are not familiar with yet. However, approximate numbers mention as low as 2 million up to as high as 30 million. Scientists cannot still determine the correct number, but it is somewhere between 2 and 30 million species.

There are at least 900,000 species, but many more probably have yet to be discovered. Insects all have bodies consisting of a head, a thorax of three segments, usually three pairs of legs and often one or two pairs of wings. Their heads have compound eyes and long antennae that are sensitive to touch and smell.

Explain how the digestive tract of different invertebrates affects the size of the organisms they eat.
AlexFokin [52]

My answer will be because these characteristics intervene in the capture and assimilation of the food, having 4 general food behaviors: (1) detritivores, consume a lot of material from the bottom of the water source, (2) herbivores, who consume mostly plant components (filamentous algae and higher plants); (3) periphyton consumers, who are characterized by feeding on microalgae and microinvertebrates and (4) omnivores, in which they indistinctly feed on plant material as an animal of different origin.

Proton pumps embedded in the cell membrane use ATP to move hydrogen ions across the membrane. Which of the following best descri
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Although protons resemble other positive ions such as Na+ and K+ in their movement across membranes, in some respects they are unique. Hydrogen atoms are by far the most abundant type of atom in living organisms; they are plentiful not only in all carbon-containing biological molecules, but also in the water molecules that surround them. The protons in water are highly mobile, flickering through the hydrogen-bonded network of water molecules by rapidly dissociating from one water molecule to associate with its neighbor, Protons are thought to move across a protein pump embedded in a lipid bilayer in a similar way: they transfer from one amino acid side chain to another, following a special channel through the protein.
