Answer:

The animals present body structure is due to evolution. It is seen in each part including the structure of the heart. The vertebrate heart becomes complex from a simpler form.  

Invertebrates, the heart of fishes is two-chambered having one auricle and one ventricle. The deoxygenated blood gets purified in the gills. They are aquatic and no lungs for breathing. The hearts pump a mixture of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood to the body.  

The amphibians and reptiles have 3 chambered heart as they lead terrestrial mode of life. The gills modified into the lungs.  The left auricle receives pure blood and the right auricle receives deoxygenated blood. The blood purified in the lungs and in the ventricle, both types of blood get a mix. The ventricle pumps the mixed-blood throughout the body.

In the case of birds and mammal, the heart is 4 chambered and the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood are separated. These two are higher vertebrates. No mix of pure and impure blood, the body receives only the oxygenated blood.

This shows to construct the phylogenetic tree of vertebrates - the fishes should be in the bottom, and above it amphibians, reptiles, then, mammals and birds on the top branch of the tree. As the chambers and structure of the hearts modified one after another.

I think the above statement is false. I believe people use sugar substitutes and fat replacers for the purpose of helping control their weight, to limit the symptoms and risk of conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases adn cancer and to prevent tooth decay, the subject of whether the two helps in the indicated is debatable. However, current research does not show that they help people reduce calorie intake or prevent obesity.

What type of stimulus is required for an action potential to be generated? What type of stimulus is required for an action poten
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

A threshold level depolarization.

Explanation:

In a neuron, the action potential threshold is known as the point of depolarization where the neuron fires, when the neuron reaches a point, it will fire and if it does not reach the point of depolarization, it will not fire and it helps to transmit the information to another neuron.

A neuron transmits the information with the help of electric impulses which are sent through its axon. When a neuron in an inactive phase, more +ve charged ions recline outside the axon membrane. In the process of stimulation, the axon membrane admits more Na+ ions and providing the neuron more +ve charge.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The action of the shifting continental plates of Earth has important effects on the course of speciation  of living organisms by reproductively isolating populations or allowing previously separated populations to interbreed..

Explanation:

The formation of geological barriers such as mountains special cause of allopatric type, these barriers cause isolation which prevents two or more groups from mating each other regularly and finally there is speciation. On the other hand  the movement of continental masses for example can cause the union of islands that allows a new genetic crossing between populations.
