The evolution of wings and the ability to move by flying is a unique adaptation of insects among all protostomes. During the pre-adaptation, their wings might held the respiratory structures for greater exchange of gases or it function as a protective shields over their leg joints. 

Moreover, like dragonflies that are unable to tuck their wings when at rest, the next evolutionary burst is the foldable wings they have. These insects includes locusts and stoneflies.

I think it is the ability to move by flying. Protostomes are one of the two groups of animals having a true body cavity (coelom) and are believed to share a common ancestor. They include the mollusks, annelids, and arthropods. In this animals the blastopore becomes the mouth. Other characteristics include, they have true tissues, they have bilateral symmetry, and that the mouth develop before the anus in during embryonic development.

Consider a field plot containing 200 kg of plant material. Approximately how many kg of carnivore production can be supported? A
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

E) 2

Explanation:

The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.

Select ALL of the following that are directly used to control fatty acid oxidation in cells.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The correct statements are A negative feed back regulation if free fatty acid accumulate C targeting the acetyl CoA transport shuttle in the mitochondrial membrane

Explanation:

The beta oxidation of fatty acid can be regulated by several following ways.

A The accumulation of free fatty acids exerts negative feedback during beta oxidation of fatty acids.As oxidation of fatty acids result in the breakdown of complex fatty acids in free fatty acids and acetyl CoA,the accumulation of free fatty acids lowers the rate of beta oxidation of fatty acid.

C The targeting of end  product of beta oxidation that is acetyl CoA to the mitochondrial membrane also regulates the beta oxidation pathway.Because more the transport of acetyl CoA to the mitochondrial membrane more will be the rate of fatty acid break down by beta oxidation.

Answer:

a. and e.

Explanation:

Metabolic alkalosis would cause slower and shallower breathing which increase carbon dioxide concentrations which in turn are consumed to form carbonic acid which helps decrease the pH.
