Mutation...are there answer choices?
One example can be the needle shaped leaves.
In desert areas, there are not much water sources. So basically, any drop of water is precious. To help prevent water loss of plants, for example cactus has very thin leaves that are needle shaped. Or some even don't have any leaves. This can reduce the surface area of leaves and thus reduce the water evaporating to the outer environment.
Another example also shown on cactus is that they have very thick waxy cuticle. It can also prevent water from evaporating from the stem. So that's why you see the stem is very shinny.
Answer:
The condition in which an organism whose cells have either gained or lost a chromosome is called an <u>aneuploidy</u>.
Answer:
Some of the energy released by ATP hydrolysis is used in muscle movement while the rest is lost as heat.
Explanation:
According to the second law of thermodynamics, when energy is transformed from one form to another, some energy is used to perform work while the rest is lost as heat to the surroundings. The energy heat energy lost to the surroundings cannot be used to perform functions.
According to the given information, the chemical energy released from the breakdown of ATP is converted into mechanical energy during the movement of a muscle. However, some of the energy released from ATP is lost as thermal energy and is not available to serve in the movement of muscles. This loss of part of the energy as heat during muscle movement explains that the process follows the second law of thermodynamics.
