Birds evolved from reptiles in Mesozoic era and their ancestors are small dinosaurs called theropods while they belong to class aves.

Further Explanation

Birds as dinosaurs

They are evolved in Mesozoic era either from thecodonts or theropods. These are two possibilities.

Thecodonts hypothesis

These are earlier reptiles which gave rise to dinosaurs (arboreal dinosaurs called pterosaurs and crocodiles) in Mesozoic era. Their body was covered with scales.

Theropods

They were bipedal carnivorous dinosaurs having sharp teeth to tear their prey. Earlier they were non-flying and gave rise to small flying dinosaurs. Their fossil study reveals that they were similar to birds.

Birds as reptiles

Taxonomic study reveals that birds are descendants of reptiles and fossil of Archaeopteryx lithographica is the evidence.

<em>Archaeopteryx lithographica </em>

Archaeopteryx was first fossils of birds that was found in Bavarian quarry by a German naturalist. It was crow sized, bipedal, with small snout having sharp teeth, strong muscles and large furcula.

Archaeopteryx Vs modern birds

Modern birds possess larger brain with enlarged visual center as compared to archaeopteryx. Modern birds had evolved advance neural system for flight.

Aves

It is class of vertebrate birds having characteristics like bill, wishbone, pygostyle and furcula.

According to modern systems of classification, birds are descendants of T<span>heropoda dinosaurs. These dinosaurs are called Paraves. From this clade, a node is made during the evolution. The new clade is called Aves. This is where birds are classified.</span>

Once amylase has broken down starch, can it break down another starch molecule?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Yes, amylase can be reused, and when fulfills its catalytic function, it is free to catalyze the breakdown of another starch molecule.

Explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme capable of catalyzing the breakdown of starch bonds, separating it into glucose molecules.

The enzymes, including amylase, have the property of being free and without structural alteration when catalyzing a reaction, to bind to the specific substrate and catalyze a new reaction.

Amylase is not consumed, unlike a reagent, so it can be reused in new reactions.

There are so many microbes in a single mL of culture, it is very difficult to perform one dilution to produce countable cells. M
Feliz [49]

Answer:

cumulative dilution = 0.000001

Explanation:

A serial dilution is a stepwise kind of dilution repeated a certain number of times, in which the concentration reduces exponentially each time.

The cumulative dilution is the final dilution gotten depending on the number of times dilution has been done and the dilution factor. The formula is given as:

Cumulative dilution = (F)ⁿ

where:

F = dilution factor = 0.1

n = number of serial dilutions = 6

∴ cumulative dilution = (0.1)⁶ = 0.000001
