Is evolution a random process? Why or why not.
Bingel [31]

Answer: No

But it is crazy. If Evolution was real things would not be the same as it is today.

Explanation: All life on Earth evolved from a single-celled organism that lived roughly 3.5 billion years ago, a new study seems to confirm.

Evolution is a theory . Charles Darwin came up with it.

Evolution is defined as the process of growth and development or the theory that organisms have grown and developed from past organisms. An example of evolution is how cell phones have changed over time.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

live attenuated vaccine

Explanation:

The correct answer would be a <u>live attenuated vaccine.</u>

<em>Vaccines are made from weakened/inactivated pathogens or their toxins and when they are administered to the body, they stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies that tend to persist and tackle any future invasion of the body by the pathogen.</em>

Vaccines can be an inactivated ones if they are made from inactivated pathogens, <u>they can be live attenuated if they are made from a weakened or attenuated version of the pathogen</u>, or toxoid vaccine if they are made from toxins of the pathogen. Other forms of vaccines include mRNA vaccines, conjugate vaccines, and viral vector vaccines.

Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
IrinaK [193]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?

A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells

B) in order to regenerate NAD+

C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle

D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP

Answer:

B) in order to regenerate NAD+

Explanation:

Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.

Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.
