Answer:
B. Evolution
Explanation:
The change in allele frequencies from mostly light wings to dark wings has been commonly studied in evolution. It's a great example of natural selection favoring the more fit phenotype, in this case the dark that can blend in better with darker trees and darker, smoggy environment.
- Why not competition: This doesn't have to do with limited resources.
- Why not acquired: Lamarck's theory of acquired traits is defunct!! Don't fall for it!!
- Why not overpopulation: This was not hinted at in the question.
Answer:
Explanation:
Food webs describe the relationships — links or connections — among species in an ecosystem, but the relationships vary in their importance to energy flow and dynamics of species populations. Some trophic relationships are more important than others in dictating how energy flows through ecosystems. Some connections are more influential on species population change. Based on different ways in which species influence one another, Robert Paine proposed three types of food webs based on the species of a rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Washington (Ricklefs 2008, Figure 2). Connectedness webs (or topological food webs) emphasize feeding relationships among species, portrayed as links in a food web (Paine 1980). Energy flow webs quantify energy flow from one species to another. Thickness of an arrow reflects the strength of the relationship. Functional webs (or interaction food webs) represent the importance of each species in maintaining the integrity of a community and reflect influence on the growth rate of other species' populations. As shown in Figure 2, limpets Acmaea pelta and A. mitra in the community consume considerable food energy (energy flow web), but removal of these consumers has no detectable influence on the abundance of their resources (functional web). The most effective control was exerted by sea urchin Stronglocentrotus and the chiton Katharina (Ricklefs 2008).

<span>Cilia and flagella are made up of microtubules covered by
plasma membrane and they projection from the cell. Thus, cilia are flagella are
motile and designed to move substances over or around the cell and they can as
well move the cell itself. In eukaryotes, they are conserved in their polypeptide
composition, structure and function as motile and sensory organelles.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is option (C) "After splitting ATP, a protein changes shape to pump ions across a membrane".
Explanation:
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic chemical molecule considered the "molecular unit of currency" of intracellular energy transfer, for the high level of energy that is released when ATP is breakdown into adenosine diphosphate (ADP). ATP provides energy to drive many processes in living cells. One example of how the chemical potential energy of this molecule is turned into work is that after splitting ATP, a protein changes shape to pump ions across a membrane. The energy of the splitting of ATP into ADP will provide energy for the protein being able to change shape, resulting in pumping ions across a membrane.
