Organisms that live in deciduous forests have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. How are the bill and feet

of the platypus specially adapted for survival in their environment? a. close the nostrils in its bill when diving underwater; pointed bill for spearing fish for food; detect vibrations of moving prey using the pads on their feet b. detect the electrical discharges of prey in the sand using small pits on its bill; crush the food with grinding pads on the top and bottom of its bill; webbed feet c. have wide nails for digging burrows; webbed feet; grind food with modified teeth on the upper part of their bill d. detect the electrical discharges of prey in the sand using small pits on its bill; pointed bill for spearing fish for food; ‘finger-like’ toes on their feet that help them hold onto and eat their food

Answer: Option B  

Explanation:

Organism that survive in the deciduous forests have aid in the survival of the animals by their unique adaptations.  

The bills and the feet of the platypuses are specially adapted as they can detect the electric discharge of prey traveling through the sand using the small pits. The bills of the platypus helps in the searching the right mate.

They can also crush the food by the pads present on the top and bottom of the bill, webbed feet.

These are some adaptation that help in the survival of the platypus.

95% sure it is answer B) Detect the electrical discharges of prey in the sand using small pits on it's bill, crush the food with grinding pads on the top and bottom of it's bill (they don't have actual teeth), and webbed feet.

I did some quick research and it had all of those things. 
Hope this helps.

Eukaryotic cells. Classify each statement according to whether it occurs in eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells, or both.
frutty [35]

Answer:

<u>Both</u>:

  • The start codon is often AUG

<u>Eukaryotic cell only:</u>

  • The larger subunit of the ribosome is 60s.
  • The ribosomes initially binds the 5' end of mRNA.

<u>Prokaryotic cell only</u>:

  • The ribosome is 70s
  • Translation occurs in the cytoplasm
  • There are multiple ribosome binding site

Explanation:

  • AUG is the common start codon for both eukaryotic as well prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cell, it codes for methionine . While in prokaryotic cell, it codes for formyl methionine.
  • In prokaryotic cell, ribosomes are found in cytoplasm, hence the translation occurs in cytoplasm.
  • Eukaryotic ribosome consists of two subunits; 40s and 60s(larger subunit)
  • Prokaryotic ribosomes have 70s ribososme, which consists of 50s and 20s subuints
  • in eukaryotic cell, 40s ribosome initially binds to the cap at the 5' end of mRNA.
  • Bacterial mRNA contain multiple ribosome binding sites.

How do phagocytes protect the body
Olin [163]

1) pathogen enters body and releases chemoattractants

2) a phagocyte/macrophage is attracted by these chemicals

3) the phagocyte engulfs the pathogen using its pseudopodia

4) the membranes of both organisms fuse forming a phagosome

5) lysosomers in the phogocyte fuse with the phagosome, forming a phagolysosome

6) these enzymes digest the pahogen (hydrolyse the bonds)

7) the antigens of the pathogen are placed on the surface of the phagocyte making an APC (antigen presenting cell)

Which type of RNA functions as a carrier of the genetic code?
gayaneshka [121]

All forms of RNA are intermediate molecules that are fabricated within DNA to perform cellular functions.

mRNA - messenger RNA carries selected portions of DNA used to fabricate polypeptides used to fabricate amino acids for protein.

tRNA - transfer RNA is comprised of select genetic code and transfers amino acids to ribosomes for assembly

rRNA - ribosomal RNA is comprised of select genetic code and makes the ribosomes

RNA is highly mutatable, highly reactive, non-reproductive, and highly specialized metabolically, and consequently totally unsuitable for consideration of any pre-DNA senario being posited for the origin of life.
