What a vestigial structure? How does it support evolution?

Biology

atroni [7]3 years ago
5 0
A vestigial structure is a structure that kind-of just "hangs out" in our bodies. We don't really need it, yet it is there. So, why is it there??? We probably needed it, for example, when we needed to digest plants. (Appendix) Some say that the appendix was used for digesting plants and berries, but it is really just speculation. We "evolved" to not need the appendix. 
Here are some other vestigial examples: wisdom teeth, tail bone, pelvic bone in a snake, and wings on a flightless bird. 
I hope this helped, if it did not let me know!!
I hope you have a fantastical day!!!XD

Proteins act as what in cells to control reactions
Damm [24]

The answer is; catalyst

These proteins are called enzymes. They work by lowering the activation energy of reactants and hence speed up the biochemical reaction. They are not affected in the process hence one enzyme molecule can catalyze many reactions. An example of such an enzyme is carbonic anhydrase that enables carbon dioxide to dissolve in blood plasma as carbonic acid.

If a cell is placed in an isotonic medium, there will be no net movement of water. True or false?.
ASHA 777 [7]

It is true.

<h3>What is isotonic medium?</h3>
  • A solution that has the same amount of salt as cells and blood. In hospitalized patients, isotonic solutions are routinely utilized as intravenous fluids.
  • When a cell is immersed in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, and the volume of the cell remains constant.
  • Isotonic solutions include 0.9% normal saline and lactated ringers. A hypertonic solution is one that has a greater solute concentration than the solution across the semi-permeable barrier.
  • The isotonic solution allows the cells to move water and nutrients in and out of the cells. This is necessary for the blood cells to perform their function of supplying oxygen and other nutrients to other parts of the body.
