In the cells of the human body, oxygen molecules

1 answer:

7 0

<span>The answer is (1) releases energy. In the cells of the human body, oxygen molecules are used directly in a process of cellular respiration during which energy is released. In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen yield carbon dioxide and water and energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate: C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + O₂ (oxygen) → H₂O (water) + CO₂ (carbon dioxide) + ATP (adenosine triphosphate).</span>

A cell can only grow so large in size, because

sweet-ann [11.9K]

<span>A cell can only grow so large in size because its ability to exchange materials is affected by a growing surface-to-volume ratio. Nature designed cells to be small in size because of the network of membranes passing through it. If cells grow any bigger, membranes in it will not be able to pass through its different parts and perform their purpose.

A cell is a network composed of many organelles (e.g. mitochondria, nucleus), that communicate and work together to provide bodily functions. The cell is small so that communication between organelles will be faster and much easier. When cells are small they can be easily repaired when damaged and replicated when needed.</span>

What did darwin believe was the primary cause of evolution?

lesya692 [45]

→ Darwin believed that the need to adapt, in similar words, the changes occruing in the environment caused evolution.

The main cause of evolution, according to Darwin, was natural selection. Natural selection is a process in which a group of organisms with certain characteristics survive and thrive, in comparison to other organisms with different characteristics. This idea basically means that having some characteristics makes you suited for an environment.

And how would that ↑ explain Evolution?

Well, evolution is the change in species that occurs during time. But for you to change, there must be a cause for that change, which is none other than the need to survive, reproduce, etc.

→ As mentioned before, not all characteristics are enough to surive, and hopefully the image pasted below will help you.

Hope it helped,
