Answer:

Based on similar appearance - traditional

Based on evolutionary relationships- modern

Known as cladistics- modern

Known as Linnaean classification- traditional

Explanation:

Linnaeus was a Swedish Botanist who was the first to classify organisms based on the structural similarities which organisms had. This method of classification came to be known as the Linnaean classification. Organisms which had more closer resemblances in structures and features had more groups or taxa in common.

The modern system of classification depends on the evolutionary history of organisms. It determines which organisms are more closely and have common ancestors in the past.

Determine whether each statement below describes traditional or modern classification.

(Answers)

Traditional Classification is based on similar appearance

Modern Classification is based on evolutionary relationships

Modern Classification is known as Cladistics

Traditional Classification is known as Linnaean classification

______ are branching diagrams that depict the evolutionary relationship among species.

Answer: Cladograms

_____ is a point in a cladogram where a single ancestral lineage breaks into two or more descendant lineages.

_____ is a group of organisms that includes an ancestor and all of its descendants.

_____ is any named group of organisms, whether they form a clade or not.

Node

Clade

Taxa

What molecule carries the message from the axon across the synaptic cleft to the muscle?

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Neurotransmitter molecules

Explanation:

(SEE BELOW FOR FULL EXPLANATION ON WHAT NEUROTRANSMITTERS ARE AND WHAT THEY DO)

Chemicals known as neurotransmitters are created by neurons and transferred across the synaptic gap (the empty space between neurons). These chemicals then connect with certain receptors on the surface of the second neuron, causing it to transmit the signal to the third neuron or to have other specific consequences. Keep in mind that synapses are not always between two neurons. They might be situated between a neuron and a gland or a neuron and a muscle.

When molecules have completed their task, they separate from the receptor and are typically metabolized by enzymes. The remainder is then taken up by the first neuron, where it is later utilized to produce new transmitters.

Different neurons generate various neurotransmitters (or other cells). It's noteworthy to note that numerous receptor types with various functions may often be activated by a single kind of neurotransmitter. Many of them also have an impact on the body's other systems and are not just related to the nervous system. Some of the most significant neurotransmitters are listed below:

Adrenaline transmits signals between the neurons that control movement. It also affects other organs, including the heartbeat, respiration, bowel movement, and stomach discharge. It also speeds up the heartbeat and breathing.

Acetylcholine is a chemical that transmits signals from neurons to skeletal muscles. Additionally, it quickens bowel movements, decreases the pulse, and boosts stomach discharge.

Serotonin transmits signals between brain neurons. Its side effects include migraine, nauseousness, and vomiting.

Dopamine's effects include controlling movement, motivation, nausea and vomiting during breastfeeding (sometimes, two substances have the same effect, because neurons, that are responsible for the effect have different types of receptrs, which in this case have the same effect, as they activate the same cells).

Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid is abbreviated as GABA. This one is intriguing since it calms the nervous system and actually reduces cell activity when GABA receptors are activated. For instance, benzodiazepines are medications that work on the same receptors and serve the same purpose as GABA. Their effects—reduced stress, sedation, and sleep—are widely documented.

_________________________________________________

Noting that there are several additional significant neurotransmitters as well as numerous others with less obvious roles, I simply included the most fundamental details for the most fundamental molecules. I hope that makes the key point clearer to you.

Thank you,

Compare the nervous system of the shrimp to that of a vertebrate.

melamori03 [73]

Answer: The majority of animals on our planet, about 95 percent, do not possess a true backbone and are called invertebrates. It's common knowledge that vertebrates like humans have a complex nervous system that reacts to stimuli, but much less is known about invertebrates like shrimp and insects. While it's somewhat different from that of vertebrates, shrimp do have a central nervous system comprised of four main parts.

Why are sunflowers dicots?

Oksanka [162]

Sunflowers are dicots because they have seed that have two cotillons, and two seed leaves of food for the embryo. They have really complex leaves with veins all over, not like monocots.

Hope this helped you with your questions.

HURRY BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST

Lelu [443]

Plant cells have chloroplasts (containing chlorophyl) that help them make food. Animals are heterotrophs, which mean they depend on other organisms for food. Therefore, animal cells don’t have chloroplasts.
