Answer:

The first thing to look at would be type of symmetry the organism exhibits. If it is asymmetrical then it would be a sponge and the discovery could stop right there. If not, other characteristics need to be investigated.

Knowing the type of body cavity this organism has would be helpful.

It would also be beneficial to know what type of skeleton (endo or exo) this organism has and what its appendages look like.

Finally, the type of digestive tract and the presence or absence of a head would help to determine what this creature is.

How would a mutation increase genetic variation?
Lena [83]

Answer:

DNA mutation causes genetic variation by altering the genes of individuals in a population. Gene flow leads to genetic variation as new individuals with different gene combinations migrate into a population.

The flow of individuals in and out of a population introduces new alleles and increases genetic variation within that population. Mutations are changes to an organism’s DNA that create diversity within a population by introducing new alleles.

6. Energy is stored in the form of food.<br><br> Photosynthesis<br> Respiration<br> Both
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Respiration

Explanation:

Food energy is chemical energy that animals (including humans) derive from food through the process of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration may either involve the chemical reaction of food molecules with molecular oxygen (aerobic respiration) or the process of reorganizing the food molecules without additional oxygen (anaerobic respiration).

hypothesize a mechanism to explain how tissues respond to insulin in different ways, even tisses that have the same amount of re
soldi70 [24.7K]
<span>The major effects of insulin on muscle and adipose tissue are: (1) Carbohydrate metabolism: (a) it increases the rate of glucose transport across the cell membrane, (b) it increases the rate of glycolysis by increasing hexokinase and 6-phosphofructokinase activity, (c) it stimulates the rate of glycogen synthesis and decreases the rate of glycogen breakdown. (2) Lipid metabolism: (a) it decreases the rate of lipolysis in adipose tissue and hence lowers the plasma fatty acid level, (b) it stimulates fatty acid and triacylglycerol synthesis in tissues, (c) it increases the uptake of triglycerides from the blood into adipose tissue and muscle, (d) it decreases the rate of fatty acid oxidation in muscle and liver. (3) Protein metabolism: (a) it increases the rate of transport of some amino acids into tissues, (b) it increases the rate of protein synthesis in muscle, adipose tissue, liver, and other tissues, (c) it decreases the rate of protein degradation in muscle (and perhaps other tissues). These insulin effects serve to encourage the synthesis of carbohydrate, fat and protein, therefore, insulin can be considered to be an anabolic hormone.
