Depending on what you've been learning in bio so far, the glucose is used in a process called glycolysis, which basically turns the glucose into ATP (Energy) which the cell can use.
Answer:
The correct answer is "C. Cave fish have evolved degenerated eyes because they have no use for vision in dark, underwater caves."
Explanation:
All of these statements about organism adaptation to its environment are true, but the real reason why cave-fish are blind is not because there's no use for their eyes in the dark, but because being blind saves them energy, as using one's vision requires the activity of photoreceptive cells and neurons, and underground caves are lacking in both food and oxygen.
The independent variable controls the dependent variables.
Dominance involves one allele masking another at the same locus whereas epistasis involves one locus masking a different locus.
Explanation:
Epistasis is a type of gene interaction in which one gene masks or modifies the expression of another gene at a distinct locus.
Dominance refers to the gene interaction in which one allele of a given gene masks the expression of another alllele of same gene.
The comparison of dominance and epistasis give the following information:
- Dominance involves allelic suppression while epistasis involves non-allelic suppression.
- Dominance involves a single pair of alleles while epistasis involves two pairs of allele.
- In dominance, the expression of recessive allele is suppressed while in epistasis, either recessive or dominant non allele is suppressed.
- The effect of dominance is due to the dominant allele while epistasis may be due to dominant or recessive allele.
Answer:
Explanation:
The main goal of metabolism is for the ultimate release of energy. Energy is simply a function of the ability to do work. In this context, we consider energy in one of it forms, chemical energy.
The chemical energy obtained through digestion of food mostly in the form of glucose is the fuel for almost all of life's processes. This chemical form of energy serves as the power house for our functioning.
Energy is required by the brain to power it and carry out its function. Without energy being supplied to the brain, there won't be a living being.
Energy is needed for locomotion and other life activities. The muscles, bones and other appendages gets their coordination power from the energy released during metabolic processes.
It can be said that all life activities revolves round how organisms obtains and utilize energy.
Nutrients are the nourishment we derive from feeding. The nutrients helps to build our body parts e.g proteins. Energy are derieved from carbohydrates. Fats and oil are also energy sources and they help life functions. Vitamins and minerals supplies needed materials to make everyday life activities successful.
