The secondary compound cyanide (Figure 1) is a toxic, bitter-tasting chemical that is found in apple seeds. Cyanide in seeds is

only released and tasted if the seed is crushed. When animals eat apples, they typically eat the sweet fleshy part of the fruit and spit out the seeds or swallow them whole.
Based on the chemical structure of cyanide, identify ONE type of biological macromolecule that could serve as a chemical precursor for the production of cyanide in a plant. Justify your choice.

Answer:

Amygdalin

Explanation:

Amygdalin is a compound present in the apple seeds which contains sugar macromolecule and cyanide. When Amygdalin broken down by the action of enzymes, the sugar part is removed and only cyanide left which decomposes and produces poisonous gas of hydrogen cyanide. This is only be done if the animals crushed the apple seeds while eating apple.

Tanisha says that the Moon looks dark from Earth when the Moon is in two different places: always when it is closest to the sun,
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

shes wrong

Explanation:

She is wrong, this is because the moon is dark, meaning that the moon would have to be behind Earth and being blocked from sunlight. For example, if the sun is on the left, the Earth in the middle, the moon would have to be on the right, behind Earth. The moon is dark because the rays only are able to hit the Earth, due to the moon's position.

hope his helps! :) pls gives brainlyest if thats ok with u ! :)

2. How do natality, morality and migration affect population size?
stira [4]

Answer:

Population Size = (Immigration + Natality) – (Mortality + Emigration)

Explanation:

The change in the size of a population over time is determined by four key factors:

•  Natality:  Increases to population size through reproduction (births)

•  Immigration:  Increases to population size from external populations

•  Mortality:  Decreases to population size as a result of death

•  Emigration:  Decreases to population size due to loss to external populations

Every year _______ species go extinct. a. 3 b. 72 c. 1000 d. 20000 please select the best answer from the choices provided
Galina-37 [17]

The experts calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species will become extinct each year. If the low estimate of the number of species out there is true - i.e. that there are around 2 million different species on our planet - then that means between 200 and 2,000 extinctions occur every year.

What is extinction?

  • Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species.
  • The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and recover may have been lost before this point. Because a species' potential range may be very large, determining this moment is difficult, and is usually done retrospectively. This difficulty leads to phenomena such as Lazarus taxa, where a species presumed extinct abruptly "reappears" (typically in the fossil record) after a period of apparent absence.
  • More than 99% of all species that ever lived on Earth, amounting to over five billion species, are estimated to have died out.
  • It is estimated that there are currently around 8.7 million species of eukaryote globally, and possibly many times more if microorganisms, like bacteria, are included. Notable extinct animal species include non-avian dinosaurs, saber-toothed cats, dodos, mammoths, ground sloths, thylacines, trilobites and golden toads.
  • Through evolution, species arise through the process of speciation—where new varieties of organisms arise and thrive when they are able to find and exploit an ecological niche and species become extinct when they are no longer able to survive in changing conditions or against superior competition.
  • The relationship between animals and their ecological niches has been firmly established.
  • A typical species becomes extinct within 10 million years of its first appearance, although some species, called living fossils, survive with little to no morphological change for hundreds of millions of years.
