Humans share several features with salamanders. Certain genes and proteins are nearly identical between the two species; both sp

ecies have four limbs with a similar skeletal structure; the species' early embryos are similar; and where the salamander has a functional tail, humans have a vestigial tailbone. In evolutionary terms, these are examples of _______

Answer:

Homology

Explanation:

Homology refers to the presence of similar or shared body structures, body parts, gene sequences, proteins, etc. among various lineages. It represents divergent evolution of these lineages from a common ancestor.

Presence of various similar structures in human and salamander reflects the fact that these two species have shared a common ancestor during their evolution. The shared ancestry between human and salamander led to the presence of various homologous body parts and identical gene sequences in them.

After photosynthesis, energy that the coral can use is stored in
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Energy is stored in <u>glucose</u> molecules <u>C6H12O6</u>

<u />

Explanation:

Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of <u>photosynthesis</u>. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable  chemical energy in covalent bonds.  In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.

These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).  

Eg. for aerobic respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

What is the function of the mini-valves in lymph capillaries?
Naya [18.7K]

 They increase the permeability of the lymph capillaries. Interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic vessels through the mini valves (which are overlaps of endothelial cells from multiple lymph capillaries). The valves also prevent the backflow of the lymph from the vessels back to the tissues.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

If air in a pump is squeezed more, then the air gets hotter because energy is added to it.

Explanation:

A good hypothesis in the given case is that inflating basketball is getting warmer, the more it is pumped, and as a result, it would possess more heat or more friction due to all the air being pumped into the basketball at a single time.  

hope this helped!
