What a vestigial structure? How does it support evolution?

Biology

atroni [7]4 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

Which of the following processes generates a proton-motive force in mitochondria?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

At the time of the electron transport chain, the transferring of electrons takes place from the level of higher energy to the level of lower energy at each of the steps that result in the discharging of energy. This energy discharged is utilized to pump the proton found in the matrix into the intermembrane space across the inner mitochondrial membrane.  

This process of proton pumping from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space results in a proton gradient, which is, utilized in the generation of ATP.
