Answer: Darwin spent five years on his journey as the ship's naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagle. Some of the evidence he used to support his theory was based on fossils he saw in South America. In the 1800's, most people were of the belief that the world was only a few thousand years old and that organisms that existed were unchanged since the beginning. However, the fossil evidence that he found showed giant versions of modern animals that no longer existed. It pointed to the idea of an ancestor that may have changed over time to the modern life forms that exist today. He also noted that the most likely place that the life forms on the Galapagos Islands could have come from originally, was Equador which was about 600 miles away. Differences in environment, food supply, temperature, etc. would put different pressures on animals on each of the various islands. Over time, natural selection would favor those best adapted for their various environments and after two million years, you have many different species that have evolved from common ancestors in Equador. The most famous of course, are Darwin's finches. Also famous are the different giant tortoises that vary by shells, size and habits, from island to island. Other famous animals include iguanas. One is extremely unique, the marine iguana, which is the only marine iguana in the entire world.
Explanation:
Answer: A. To change the potential energy of the reactants.
Explanation:
Catalysts make such a breaking and rebuilding happen more efficiently. They do this by lowering the activation energy for the chemical reaction. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to allow the chemical reaction to occur. The catalyst just changes the path to the new chemical partnership.
A period is the horizontal row of elements in the periodic table and they are numbered from one to seven. In the same period, atomic number increases from left to right. Elements in the same period have the same number of electron energy levels and they transition from a metal to noble gas.
Explanation:
Hey, there!!
The parts are an atom are:
- Electrons
- Protons
- Neutrons
Generally, Protons and Neutrons lies in the centre of an atom. After that the shells made outer are covered by electrons. We keep 2 electrons in 1st shell, 8 electrons in 2nd, 18 electrons in 3rd shell and so on. The positions of neutron and protons are always in the nucleus and electrons are in the orbits or shell.
