The shells of some marine snails are highly variable, with some snail shells being solid and others having stripes. Predation by

birds is a major source of mortality for the snails. Scientists studying these snails found that while 47 percent of the snail population was striped, 56 percent of the snails eaten by birds were striped. What could scientists conclude about the snails?

<u>Answer</u>: The scientists conclude that the striped snails are preferred by the birds.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Predation is a process by which one organism (predator) feeds on the other organism (prey) by killing it.

Since, in the data provided <em>56</em>% of the snails that are eaten by the bird are <em>striped</em> this clearly suggest that the striped snails are preferred by the birds as the frequency of striped snails becoming the prey is more than the solid snails.

Answer:

Erythrocyte

Explanation:

Erythrocytes, or otherwise called, red-blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells and tissues.

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

1. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek made the first microscope and used it to look at bacteria and study bacteria, and Robert Hooke studied cells and saw cavities in the cells that looked like small boxes - he discovered plant cells! he recognized cells as the basic unit of life, a basis for Cell Theory.

2. cell theory is: every living organism is made of one or more cells, cells are the smallest units of life ( that have the properties of a living thing), All cells come from other cells  - all living things come from other living things. This relates to every living thing because all living things come under cell theory - like all living things are made of cells

3. prokaryotes, like bacteria, doesn't have a nucleus covered in a membrane. a eukaryotic cell, like an animal cell, has a membrane covered nucleus. just like the nucleus, in eukaryotes the organelles are not membrane bound. in prokaryotes, the organelles are membrane bound. In prokaryotes the DNA form is circular, while the DNA form in eukaryotes is linear. there are more, but i couldn't list them.

4. Example for prokaryote: the famous (or infamous) E. Coli bacterium. example for eukaryote: Humans!

5. Single-celled organisms (unicellular organisms) have all the functions necessary for their survival in the single cell. Multicellular organisms (many celled organisms), however, need many cells to survive and carry out all the functions necessary for their survival and do the different tasks each cell is supposed to do.

I hope this helped, please do correct me if I am wrong!

In what way are the structures of dna and protein similar?
Verizon [17]
They are similar in three main ways 1.Both DNA and proteins are polymers. 2. Both are made from smaller subunits joined together. DNA is made of subunits called nucleotides joined together and protein is made up subunits called amino acids joined together. 3. In both of them, these subunits or monomers are linked together by covalent bonds. Nucleotides are a combination of a nitrogen - rich base that is either adenine, guanine, cytosine or thymine, together with a phosphate group and a sugar.
