Answer:

  • Land animals require more energy since they have to overcome greater inertia during locomotion. Land mammals have adopted many evolutionary mechanisms to support high energy demand.
  • Heart is four chambered instead of the usual two in aquatic animals like fishes. More number of divisions in heart increases the efficiency of blood circulation process which in turn increases the oxygen delivery rate to cells for producing more energy.
  • Land mammals also have developed lungs which increase the efficiency of gas exchange process which increases the output of respiration process.
  • In addition, land mammals also have a strong and developed musculoskeletal system which helps in locomotion.

Explanation:

The locomotion on land requires more energy than the locomotion in water which can be observed in the land animals like mammals.

In mammals, to move on the land, there should be a well-developed organ which could help in the circulation of blood to all the tissues and the mammals developed the well developed the four-chambered heart which required energy to pump the blood.

The mammals evolved the well-developed lungs to exchange the gases with the environment.

What are stem cells? Where do stem cells come from? Why are they important?
irakobra [83]
Stem cells are cells of the body that can divide and become differentiated. stem cells specialise and take specific functions when an organism grows
mature tissues such as muscle, blood, tissue, bone, nerves, liver all have different types of cells.

they come from three to five day old embryo cells.

they represent potential in the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue. some therapies actually currently use stem cells for this reason

The earliest ancestors of about half of all extant animal phyla can be traced back to the _____ explosion. see concept 32.2 (pag
Vesna [10]
The answer is 'Cambrian' explosion. This took place approximately 541 million years ago. 'Explosion' refers to the evolution of a large range of new major animal phyla. Scientists know this by the large number of diverse fossils from this period. Prior to this period, organisms were single-celled, but over the Cambrian Explosion, lasting about 80 million years, life forms diversified rapidly to resemble the life forms existing today.

Radda [10]

two molecules or moieties combine to form one single molecule, together with the loss of a small molecule. When this small molecule is water, it is known as a dehydration reaction; other possible small molecules lost are hydrogen chloride, methanol, or acetic acid.
