The author takes note of the fact that the cormorants of the Galapagos islands are the only species of all the 40 species of the world to have lost the ability to fly. Geneticists have indentified the gene mutation that is responsible for this divergence. It is also postulated that the cormorants of the Galapagos may have lost flight due to abundant prey on the island, and lack of predators, hence giving less significance to flight.

<h3>Description of Pliohippus </h3>

From the information provided in the question The modern day horse resembling the pliohippus can be inferred to have teeth which is adapted for grazing just like the pliohippus.

The pliohippus evolved from the merychippus which is classified as a grazer. because of its longer/taller teeth the pliohippus was more adapted to grazing than been a browser.

What is anabolism? Give an example. What is catabolism also give an example

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules in living organisms from simpler ones together with the storage of energy.

Examples of anabolism: bone growth and mineralization, and muscle mass build-up.

Catabolism: the breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones, together with the release of energy.

Examples of Catabolism: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, the breakdown of muscle protein in order to use amino acids as substrates for gluconeogenesis, the breakdown of fat in adipose tissue to fatty acids, and oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters by monoamine oxidase.
