djyliett [7]

Answer:

Option C, No. The energy contained within these macromolecules is converted into other forms of chemical energy and kinetic energy, though some is lost as heat.

Explanation:

Breaking down of large molecules in to smaller molecules does not signify breaking down of energy stored in it and hence losing all the stored energy.

Breaking down of large molecule is necessary to convert large molecules into small easily digestible molecules so that the food energy stored in them can be stored in some other form specifically chemical energy and can be used at later stages. However, in the process of conversion of large molecules into small molecules , a certain amount of heat energy is used.

Hence, option C is correct

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Traits

T (tall, dominant) and t (short)

R (round, dominant) and r (wrinkle)

Crossing parents

hetero-zygous. tall wrinkled (Ttrr)

phenotype tall is given hetero-zygous., so Tt

phenotype wrinkled is recessive, so must be homo-zygous rr

Foiled genotypes (Tr, tr, each with 50%)

short hetero-zygous. round (ttRr)

phenotype short is recessive, so homo-zygous rr

phenotype round is given heteroz. so Rr

Foiled genotypes (tR, tr, each with 50%)

How does natural selection “drive” evolution?

yanalaym [24]

Because predators and prey must learn (or adapt) new ways of survival. Deer over time have learned to be much more sensitive to the surrounding environment, therefore, a deer's predator must also adapt/evolve and learn how to beat the deer at it's own game and catch it for food. Animals must evolve/adapt to any given environment. If humans lived in Antarctica for thousands of years, we would eventually be able to withstand the cold due to evolution. People who live in the Himalayas today actually breath normally at such high altitudes whereas if someone who lives at sea level went to where the Himalayan people lived, the result could potentiality be fatal because the body has not adapted/evolved at that point to withstand minimal oxygen.
