Answer:
- Modern camels are more related to Camelops than to Aepycamelus.
- Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus may share similar feautres.
- Procamelus and Stenomylous may share similar features.
Explanation:
The chart given explains how the camels are evolved between Eocene (33 myo) and Pleistocene.
- According to the chart, modern-day camels (Camelus) are a closer phylogenetic relative of Camelops because they are clustered together in the Pleistocene age section. However, Aepycamelus is last recorded in the Upper Miocene and later became extinct (or no record is found in Pliocene and Pleistocene).
- Pliauchenia and Oxydactylus have a single ancestor "Protylopus" which can be seen in the Eocene age. Although Protylopus were branched to two species in upper Miocene, it is not difficult to believe that they share many genetic similarities (features) in both lineages.
- Similarly, Procamelus and Stenomylous are the descendants of Poebrotherium and got apart at the end of the Oligocene, therefore, they will also share several features similar to each other.
Answer:
The answer is D. The autonomic nervous system.
Answer & explanation:
Amylase is part of enzymes, a group of large peptide molecules (formed by amino acids) whose role is to catalyze reactions in order to facilitate the synthesis of other biological molecules.
Amylase is found mainly in saliva (in the form of salivary amylase, or ptialin), acting in the breakdown of starch and glycogen in foods, reducing them to smaller particles, facilitating their digestion and absorption.
The action of enzymes depends on certain specific conditions, called optimal conditions. In the case of <u>amylase</u>, it depends on an optimum pH of 7 (neutral) and an optimum temperature of approximately 37 ° C.
This enzyme can still act between 35 ° C and 40 ° C, but below 35 ° C it is inactivated, preventing its functions from being performed, and above 40 ° C it suffers denaturation, causing changes in its structures.
Thus, it is concluded that the <u>temperature</u> (under optimal conditions) is important for enzymes because it keeps their actions and structures in proper operation.
Answer:
It means that the cell membrane allows certain substances to pass through and not others. As the cell membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer with a hydrophobic core, only small uncharged hydrophobic molecules can pass through the cell membrane e.g. glucocorticoid and other larger charged particles require transporters or channel proteins to pass through the cell membrane, e.g. glucose.
