Answer: Cell structures adapt by responding to their environments as a group, and evolve over time.

Explanation:

Skin Cell Adaptation : Has many nerves that allow you to sense your surroundings, and allows you to hold and absorb many important nutrients.

Nerve Cell Adaptation : Nerve cells have very long axons being they can deliver messages for a longer time before passing it on to the next cell, which makes this process significantly faster.

Muscle Cell Adaptation : These cells have adapted to their function by being able to increase their size based on the work they do on a regular function.

Red Blood Cell Adaptation : When it removes the carbon dioxide from your body, it moves it to your lungs to exhale.

Answer:

Explanation:

A cell is adapted to its function because of differential expression of genes during fetal development during which they get differentiated and determined to provide division of labour to different tissues. They contain protein fibres that can contract when energy is available, making the cells shorter.

Answer:

Roosting areas in buildings of any height are the resource partitioning of both bat species.

Explanation:

The fundamental niche refers only to physic conditions in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.

The realized niche refers to the restricted conditions in which a species can live and survive as a result of environment physic characteristics and the interaction with other species.

Competitive exclusion refers to the exclusion of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.

Resources partitioning refers to one dominant species monopolizing the resources, and the other inferior species use resources -partially or completely-, migrates or get extinguished.

A way in which species can divide resources is by living in different habitat areas. These species might eat the same food, and can roost in different places within the same habitat. This resource partitioning and differentiation in the function of their physic location allows both species to coexist more effectively.

In the present example, both bat species can coexist in the same city but the weaker bat species (species 1) roost at the top of the shorter buildings while dominant species (species 2) roost at the top of the highest buildings.

In order for transcription to happen, DNA must

nalin [4]

Answer: Unwind

Explanation: Transcription is a process where a DNA strand is used to make a copy of mRNA. A complementary mRNA strand is made from the DNA strand. This mRNA is then later used to make proteins. In this process the junk information, present in DNA in form of introns is also spliced.

DNA is a double stranded structure, which is present in helical structure and both the strands are twisted together. In order to make the mRNA copy with the help of the enzyme RNA polymerase, DNA must open up. Then only RNA polymerase will be able to access the nucleotides of DNA.

During ________ , ATP is captured when a six-carbon sugar breaks down into 2 three-carbon compounds.

OverLord2011 [107]

The answer is Glycolysis. Glycolysis is the first stage of Respiration that happens in the cytoplasm of the cell. In this process, a 6-carbon sugar molecules is broken down to form 2 molecules of 3-carbon pyruvate. The process of Glycolysis generates ATP in the presence of oxygen.
