Answer:

Glycogenolysis is the breakdown of glycogen (n) to glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen (n-1). Glycogen branches are catabolized by the sequential removal of glucose monomers via phosphorolysis, by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase.

What are the advantages and limitations to using fossils to study the living things that lived in the past?

ollegr [7]

~Hello

Fossils are one of the best evidence of evolution, mainly because they are the remains of living organisms from the past, which allow us to compare them with living organisms. However, the fossil record is notoriously incomplete and it is also biased in favor of animals with hard body parts, such as skeletons and shells. Soft bodied organisms and soft body parts are rarely preserved and there are often huge gaps in some evolutionary sequences. For example, Archaeopteryx is the earliest known bird, but it is already a bird, nothwithstanding some of the features that are unquestionably reptilian. The earliest known reptile with feathers is Longisquama, but there is a gap of some 75 million years between Longisquama and Archaeopteryx, and nothing has yet been found that are intermediate between these two important fossils.

Finally, DNA is virtually unobtainable from fossils, making it nearly impossible to compare the DNA of most fossils with living organisms. In terms of phylogenetic tree construction, DNA data is far superior to fossil evidence. However, if not for the existence of fossils, DNA data alone would be unconvincing as evidence of evolutionary change.

To survive, an organism must be able to maintain stable internal conditions in a changing environment. This process is called ho

Reptile [31]

Answer:

1. Initial air temperature: 0 °C (32 °F)

2. Initial body temperature: 37 °C (99 °F)

3. The expected effect of different factors on body temperature are:

A. Raising air temperature: Increase

B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

C. Adding clothing: Increase

D. Exercising: Increase

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, it is necessary to look for a software related to this homework.

<u>Homeostasis is a property of organisms that consists in their capacity to maintain a stable internal condition by compensating for changes in their environment</u> through the regulated exchange of matter and energy with the exterior. It is a a dynamic equilibrium controlled by a mechanism of feedback that constitute the self-regulating mechanisms. Examples of homeostasis are temperature regulation and the balance between acidity and alkalinity (pH)

The Human Homeostasis Gizmo™ is a software that allows you to explore how the human body stays at a nearly constant temperature in different conditions. To use it, you have to set the air temperature at 0 °C (32 °F) and the body temperature at 37 °C (99 °F), and click Play. After a simulation of 1 hour, then click Pause and gather the information. Then, do the same cprocedure to test the effect of other factors and Click Reset between each trial. To determine the effect of different factors on body temperature, you have to compare the final body temperature to the final body temperature while there is no specific movement or change.

Then:

1. Initial air temperature: 0 °C (32 °F)

2. Initial body temperature: 37 °C (99 °F)

3. The expected effect of different factors on body temperature are:

A. Raising air temperature: Increase

B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

C. Adding clothing: Increase

D. Exercising: Increase

This is for a logical reason, anything you do to heat it or generate heat, will increase the temperature. And anything you do to generate cold, will lower the temperature.

The effect of different factors on body temperature according to Gizmo:

A. Raising air temperature: Increase

B. Lowering air temperature: Decrease

C. Click Add to a sweatshirt, hat, pants, and parka. Then, adding clothing:

Maintained

D. Set the Exercise level to 70%, then exercising: Increase

When the temperature increases, it is because you are able to record the results from the software and you see temperature goes from 99 °F to 100 °F. When the temperature decreases. it is because it goes from 99 °F to 97 °F. When it is maintained, there is no change.

Which reason best explains why dead specimens must be used with transmission electron microscopes

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The specimen are placed in vacuum while examining the cells or living organisms. Also, the electron must penetrate inside of the cell and in such conditions, any living organism is not able to survive. Thus, this reason best explains the answer to why dead cells specimen must be used for Transmission electron microscopy.

What threatens the existence of a chimpanzee species?

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The primary threats to chimpanzees are habitat destruction, hunting, and disease. The increasing human population is encroaching ever deeper into even protected areas of chimpanzee habitats, and large scale logging is now a major threat to the forest primates of Africa.
