Which of the following is TRUE? Species on Earth today are just a fraction of all species that ever lived. The number of species

existing at one time has decreased throughout history. Until recent history, extinctions have always happened gradually and on a small scale. Most organisms present early in Earth's prehistory were more complex than modern organisms. Natural selection always favors complexity and a larger body size

Answer:

Until recent history,extinctions have always happened gradually and on a small scale.

Explanation:

Extinction occur when environmental factors like natural disaster,habitat fragmentation,over exploitation,global change don't favor the survival of species thus gradually leads to extinction of species.

Some times human activity becomes the major problem for extinction.More over,poor reproduction,decline in population number and genetic inbreeding also leads to extinction.

99% of all species that exist on earth become disappeared.

Evolution leas to speciation which leas to formation of new species but species become extinct when they are unable to survive against competition.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

A)100mL  B)50mL  C)The second option  D)Hypoosmotic Environment

Explanation:

The average Na concentration in the seas and oceans of the world is around 3,5% which mean that in 100 ml of sea water, there is around 3,5 grams of Na.

The weight of one mol of NaCl is 58,44 grams. For 3,5 grams of NaCl, we get 3,5/58,44 = 0,060 mol of NaCl which is 0,060x1000 = 60 mmol/100ml. According to this and the information given in the question about the secretion of the salt glands', if the average sodium concentration is 600mmol/L, we have 60*10 = 600mmol/L so it would take 100 mililiters of water to excrete.

If the average Na concentration of the salt gland's secretion were 300 mmol/L, only 50 mililiters of water would be needed to excrete the same sodium load.

The second option of secretion is hyperosmotic to seawater because the concentration is higher.

Osmoregulation is the process of balancing the amount of water and salt between the body of the organism and its surrounding environment. For salt glands to be advantageous for osmoregulation, they need to be in a hypoosmotic environment.

I hope this answer helps.
