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.

A) Energy from Earth’s hot interior produces magma which then cools

and crystallizes into igneous rock.

Explanation:

Energy from Earth’s hot interior causes extreme temperature and pressure which produces magma. This magma is present in liquid state that cools and crystallizes into igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rocks due to high heat or pressure. Earth movements can cause rocks to go deeply into the earth which causes the rocks are heated and put under great pressure. Sedimentary rocks are formed when sediment is deposited due to air, ice, wind, gravity, or water flows carrying the particles in suspension.

What are the primary components of the juxtaglomerular apparatus? check all that apply?

KIM [24]

The juxtaglomerular apparatus is a structure (formed by the distal convoluted tubule and the glomerular afferent arteriole) with the function in the regulation of blood pressure and the filtration rate of the glomerulus. Its primary components are:
 · the macula densa- specialized epithelial cells in the distal convoluted tubule (detect Na concentration),
 · juxtaglomerular cells- formed from the smooth muscle cells of the afferent arteriole (secrete renin),
· extraglomerular mesangial cells (lacis cells)-unknown function.

The have similar problems because since the cell has grown too large, it takes away nutrients that other cells need to survive. This is similar to too many users on a wireless network because with too many users, their is not enough network to supply each device on the wireless network.
