TEA [102]3 years ago

Evidence for evolution, in other words evidence of common descent, include fossils, which have shown a (fairly) steady change in morphology over time for some species. An example would be horse hooves: we have fossils that show when they were still three toed, then two toed, then one toe in our present day horses. Another piece of evidence is vestigial organs. An example of vestigial organs is wings in some flightless birds, such as the kiwi. Their ancestors used it in order to fly across the marine barrier into New Zealand, but natural selection and random genetic drift made them quickly lose the ability to fly. Nonetheless, they still have their wings, however small. It can be assumed that eventually, their wings would be reduced to small stubs fused to other nearby bones, as has been observed in their cousins.

A swimmer sprints a short distance for a competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed fo
Reptile [31]

When the swimmer is unable to take in enough oxygen for the sprint, the ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) will be compromised. In such conditions, the body will use anaerobic respiration to produce the ATP. Anaerobic respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It used the electron acceptors in place of the oxygen in the respiratory cycle. The amount of the ATP produced is, however, less in anaerobic respiration.

Hence, the answer is 'Option C - Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen'.

Do pandas blink? If so why or why not?
In-s [12.5K]
Pandas only blink sometimes because they are looking out for danger most of the time. Like other mammals, they have an upper and lower eyelid, so yes they do blink, but not as much as humans.
