What is the relationship between diet and the structure of the digestive tract? minnows are mainly carnivorous, eating insects a

nd other small animals. however, herbivory has evolved independently in minnows several times. what changes in digestive structure and function are associated with the evolution of herbivory?

<span>Herbivores posses different digestive system than that of carnivores. In the course of evolution herbivory evolved with a complex digestive tract. There is no cannine teeth for herbivores. The stomach contains billions of bacteria. The intestine is 27 times longer in length than the length of its body.</span>

Cocklebur will not flower if exposed to 8 hours of dark and 16 hours of light. It will flower if exposed to 16 hours of dark and
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Photoperiodism

Explanation:

The process explained in the question is called "Photoperiodism" which refers to the plants' reaction to the length of the dark and light period in a day.

When the dark period is interrupted with a certain period of artificial lighting, the plant thinks that the day had a longer period where it's "light" than it is "dark" so it gets tricked into flowering. Same concept can be applied in reverse for the plants who flower during longer periods of dark.

I hope this answer helps.

What are the Animal cells label?
LiRa [457]

Answer:Here they are.

Explanation:

Cell Membrane

   The thin layer of protein and fat that surrounds the cell. The cell membrane is semipermeable, allowing some substances to pass into the cell and blocking others.

Centrosome (Microtubule Organizing Center)

   A small body located near the nucleus - it has a dense center and radiating tubules. The centrosomes is where microtubules are made. During cell division (mitosis), the centrosome divides and the two parts move to opposite sides of the dividing cell. The centriole is the dense center of the centrosome.

Cytoplasm

   The jellylike material outside the cell nucleus in which the organelles are located.

Golgi body (Golgi Apparatus/Golgi Complex)

   A flattened, layered, sac-like organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes and is located near the nucleus. It produces the membranes that surround the lysosomes. The Golgi body packages proteins and carbohydrates into membrane-bound vesicles for “export” from the cell.

Lysosome (Cell Vesicles)

   Round organelles surrounded by a membrane and containing digestive enzymes. This is where the digestion of cell nutrients takes place.

Mitochondrion

   Spherical to rod-shaped organelles with a double membrane. The inner membrane is infolded many times, forming a series of projections (called cristae). The mitochondrion converts the energy stored in glucose into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for the cell.

Nuclear Membrane

   The membrane that surrounds the nucleus.

Nucleolus

   An organelle within the nucleus - it is where ribosomal RNA is produced. Some cells have more than one nucleolus.

Nucleus

   Spherical body containing many organelles, including the nucleolus. The nucleus controls many of the functions of the cell (by controlling protein synthesis) and contains DNA (in chromosomes). The nucleus is surrounded by the nuclear membrane.

Ribosome

   Small organelles composed of RNA-rich cytoplasmic granules that are sites of protein synthesis.

Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (Rough ER)

   A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted sacks that are located in the cell’s cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). Rough ER is covered with ribosomes that give it a rough appearance. Rough ER transports materials through the cell and produces proteins in sacks called cisternae (which are sent to the Golgi body, or inserted into the cell membrane).

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (Smooth ER)

   A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted tubes that are located in the cell’s cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). The space within the ER is called the ER lumen. Smooth ER transports materials through the cell. It contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins; smooth ER buds off from rough ER, moving the newly-made proteins and lipids to the Golgi body, lysosomes, and membranes.

Vacuole

   Fluid-filled, membrane-surrounded cavities inside a cell. The vacuole fills with food being digested and waste material that is on its way out of the cell.

All variations within organisms can be explained by the known principles of genetics. True or False
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The statement is true.

Explanation:

Genetics is responsible for studying the way in which the characteristics of living organisms, whether morphological, physiological, biochemical or behavioral, are transmitted, generated and expressed, from one generation to another, under different environmental conditions, that is, try to explain how the characteristics of living beings are inherited and modified, which can be in shape (the height of a plant, the color of its seeds, the shape of the flower...), physiological (for example, the constitution of certain protein that performs a specific function within the body of an animal), and even behavior (in the form of courtship before mating in certain groups of birds, or the way of mating of mammals, among others). In this way, the principles of genetics tries to study how these characteristics pass to generation after generation, and why, in turn, they vary generation after other.
