SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST


Darwin called this mechanism natural selection. Natural selection, also known as “survival of the fittest,” is the more prolific reproduction of individuals with favorable traits that survive environmental change because of those traits; this leads to evolutionary change.

Answer: Natural selection is a process by which species of animals and plants that are best adapted to their environment survive and reproduce, while those that are less well adapted die out.

Why are the valence electrons of carbon important
KatRina [158]
The valence electrons of carbon are important because the valence give an element their bonding properties. If Carbon did not have as many, it would not be able to bond four times. or have many of the properties it possess.

How do the laws of thermodynamics relate to the transformation of energy in organisms? Use the terms autotroph and heterotroph w
yarga [219]

Answer:

he organisms that can fix energy from inorganic sources into organic molecules are called autotrophs. Organisms that cannot make their food from inorganic sources but depend on energy rich organic molecules synthesized by autotrophs for their energy needs are called heterotrophs.

The only source of energy for all the ecosystems of the earth is the sun. Light falling on the plants is trapped by the producers or autotrophs in the presence of chlorophyll and is used in synthesizing the organic food called glucose by the process of photosynthesis. By photosynthesis radiant energy of sunlight is transformed into potential energy of food. A part of this energy is trapped by the producers while the rest of the energy is dissipated. The remaining part of energy which is used in the synthesis of plant biomass is called photosynthate which is then available to the next trophic level in the food chain that is the consumers or heterotrophs. In an ecosystem there is a unidirectional flow of energy.

Which of the following is present in a prokaryotic cell?
lesya [120]

The correct answer is B. Ribosome

Explanation:

In biology, cells are mainly classified as eukaryotic or prokaryotic. Each of these types of cells has different features, to begin with, eukaryotic cells are those that contain a defined nucleus and are part of both unicellular and multicellular organisms. On the opposite, prokaryotic cells do not have a defined nucleus or a nuclear envelope and are mainly present in unicellular organisms, besides this, they lack mitochondrion, Golgi apparatus or chloroplasts that are present in eukaryotic cells. However, prokaryotic cells still contain DNA, ribosomes, vesicles, and vacuoles. According to this, the one that is present in a prokaryotic cell is ribosome.

____________ is a membrane protein that catalyzes the energy requiring synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
olasank [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The production of ATP from ADP and Pi (inorganic phosphate) catalyzed by an enzyme known as ATP synthase.

ATP synthase is made up of two main regions called F₀ and F₁ in which F₀ is embedded in the membrane and acts as a pump through which proton flux takes place. The F₁ unit is the rotating unit of the ATP synthase which rotates due to energy provides by the protons during proton flux.

When proton moves through F₀  unit down their concentration gradient, it provides energy to the F₁ subunits which bind ADP and inorganic phosphate to release ATP.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
