What accounts for the variation Darwin observer among island species

Biology
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
4 0

Answer AND Explanation:

The islands had different environments, and the organisms had adaptations that enabled the organism to live in those environments. The island had been inhabited by its own kind of species found nowhere else in the world. Darwin also noticed that considerable variation exists between members of the same species. Offspring vary from their parents and between themselves.

Rank the buoyant forces supplied by the atmosphere on the following, from greatest to least: a. An elephant b. A helium-filled p
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

a >c > b.

Explanation:

The buoyant force may be defined as the force that mainly opposes the immersed object weight. The buoyant force is greater at the bottom and acts on upward direction.

The buoyant force depend on the object of the volume and directly proportional to the volume. The buoyant force of elephant is highest as it has highest volume than skydiver and balloon has least volume and so the least buoyant force.

Thus, the answer is a >c > b.

Give one example of a parasitic fungi and explain how it affects human health.
Zarrin [17]

Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.

Cells assemble carbohydrates through dehydration synthesis which means a(n) what molecule is removed when the monomers are bonde
mr_godi [17]
The process for connecting two monomers together is called dehydration synthesis. Dehydration means “removal of water” and synthesis means “to join together”. So in this process, two monomers are covalently bonded by the removal of a water molecule. Each organic monomer has a hydroxyl group on one side and a hydrogen on the other. When two monomers line up side by side, they will have these two functional groups facing one another. The H and the OH will break off of their respective monomers and bond forming a water molecule. This is the dehydration part of the process. Each monomer now has a carbon atom that needs to covalently bond with something, so they bind to each other forming a polymer. That is the synthesis part of the process.
