A) All organisms that are introduced into new environments have the capacity to fill vacant ecological roles. (B) All organisms have the ability to utilize oxygen to harness energy from the chemical breakdown of organic compounds.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

All living organisms' cell are composed of genetic material in form of DNA. The DNA encodes the information needed for the production of useful products (proteins). The way in which the information is encoded is called the GENETIC CODE. It consists of all the triplet nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes an amino acid.

This genetic code is universal i.e. the same genetic code is employed by virtually all living organisms, as a codon does not encode another amino acid in another organism. It is universal that AUG specifies Methionine in all living organisms. This shows that all organism share a common evolutionary history.

Hence, it is possible for an organism to express a gene from another organism since the same genetic code will be used to read the information in the gene.

Why do pigs wallow in the mud?
MAXImum [283]

Answer: Option B

Pigs wallow in the mud to cool themselves down.

Explanation: Pigs' skin contains lots of fats, and fats serves as thermal insulator during cold (low temperatures); unfortunately, this feature turns becomes a disadvantage during heat (high temperatures). Hence, pigs frequently wallows in the mud (or any nearby cool water place) - to reduce their body temperature.

Glycogen is a polysaccharide used for energy storage by
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: The liver and muscles.

Explanation:

Liver and muscles store glucose, in response to insulin hormone, in a form of glycogen for use during starvation period. When glucose is too much in the blood, insulin is secreted by islets cells in the pancreas. Glycogen synthesis is then initiated in liver where it is stored.

Glycogen is a polymer of glucose just like starch in plants. 60% of glucose from glycogen store is used up by the brain as its only source of energy.
