The given statements can be matched as following:
a)The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration - Osmosis
b)Lowers the amount of energy needed to perform chemical reactions
- Enzymes
c)When you breath O2 passes into your blood stream while CO2 passes out of your blood stream
-Simple Diffusion
d)Involved with, but does not become a part of chemical reactions
-Enzymes
e)Small molecules with no charge can move through semi-permeable membranes by this process-
Simple Diffusion
Explanation:
a) Osmosis is generally defined as the process by which water is transported from a region of Higher concentration to the region of Lower concentration.
b) Enzymes are well known to reduce the amount of energy required or needed for a chemical reaction to take place.
c)The process by which oxygen passes through our blood stream and carbondioxide passes through the other is known as simple diffusion process.
d) Enzymes are ones that actively gets involved in the chemical reaction but they will never become a part of that chemical reaction.
e) Diffusion is the process by which very small molecules that carries no charge moves through semi permeable membrane.
<u>Answer:</u>
Recent evidence suggest that feathers evolved from scales and suggest that 'feathers and pycnofibers' could be homologous.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- One of the major difficult issue related to bird evolution is the evolution of feathers.
- Feathers are considered as the most 'complex integumentary structures' which are found in vertebrates.
- Evolutionary developmental biology suggests that the 'planar scale structure' is been modified for developing into feathers by 'splitting' to form web like structures.
- Scales and Feathers consist of 'two distinct form of keratin' so it was thought that 'each type was exclusive skin structure' but recent study suggests that they are developmental expressions of same skin structures.
