7 0

Answer:

Some of Carl Linnaeus' classifications of organisms were incorrect because he classified them based off of appearances and actions instead of actual relationships. For instance, bats were classified as birds because they flew, and whales were classified as fish because they had fins and swam underwater.The mere fact that some of his classifications were off, however, does not reduce the marked effect that it had on the advancement of scientific thought in the present world. His findings have greatly influenced the modern classification system in many ways.

Explanation:

Carl Linnaeus classified organisms on the basis of physical features. In his time, this was accepted. As time went on, he was stated incorrectly with the aid of new discoveries. However, he did facilitate the scientific community in a different way. He classified organisms with their common ancestors.

A Paramecium has an internal sucrose concentration of 0.040 M, a glucose concentration of 0.035 M, and a fructose concentration
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<u>c. Sucrose and glucose</u>

Explanation:

The paramecium is a large, single-celled microbes, surrounded by a plasma membrane. Simple diffusion occurs in cells across plasma membranes, as a form of passive transport. In diffusion, solutes move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration across the plasma membrane.

Here, the internal environment has higher concentrations of sucrose and glucose, but lower concentrations of fructose, thus the solutes will move along their concentration gradient, to where the concentrations are lower. In order for the fructose molecules to move out of the cell, the molecules have to move against their concentration gradient - a process requiring energy known as active transport.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Xiao can use these structures to create a similarity matrix that enables to differentiate between synapomorphies and homoplasies .

Explanation:

A synapomorphy is a trait that has been inherited from the same ancestor, this trait enables to establish a relation of homology between two or more species; while a homoplasy is an analog structure that doesn't have homology.
