Answer:

b. a single temporal fenestra

Explanation:

Synapsids have a temporary fossa in the lower part of the temporal bone. These reptiles mamiferoides only have a single inferior temporal fenestra.

The synapsids were the first amniots to diversify and appeared in the middle of the Carboniferous. These first synapses were characterized by the presence of a single temporary fenestra behind each orbit, through which the mandibular muscles pass.

what kind of energy transformation takes place when plants perform photosynthesis to produce glucose molecules?

grandymaker [24]

The appropriate answer is a. the conversion of radiant energy to chemical energy. Plants use light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose. An important bi-product of this reaction is oxygen which is vital to all life on earth. When humans consume glucose and do work they are converting chemical energy into heat energy and mechanical energy.
