A class is debating the advantages and disadvantages of different types of reproduction. One student argues that organisms that

reproduce asexually, like bacteria, have no advantage over organisms that reproduce sexually.
Which of the following choices below represents an argument for the advantages of asexual reproduction?
A. Organisms that reproduce asexually are likely to find a mate at a faster rate than sexually reproducing organisms, which allows them to reproduce faster.
B. Organisms that reproduce asexually are more diverse and are more likely to pass on key genes for survival to future generations, which aids in maintaining beneficial genes for survival in the gene pool
C. Organisms that reproduce asexually gain variation through processes like crossing over, which allows survival in instances of ecological change
D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population

Answer: D. Organisms that reproduce asexually create a large amount of offspring in a short period of time in order to maintain their population.

Explanation:

When an organism is able to reproduce asexually as opposed to sexually, it means that they do not require a mate to make offspring. Offspring of such organisms will therefore receive all their genes from one source.

Such organisms are able to reproduce very fast when they are presented with adequate conditions especially because they do not need another organism to do so. They will neither have to waste much energy nor have to go through the whole sexual process so they will be able to produce lots of offspring.

Match the tissue with its primary fuel source: 1) brain A) fatty acids 2) resting skeletal muscle B) glucose 3) heart C) glucose
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a) 1:B; 2:C; 3:A; 4:B; 5:C

Explanation:

Primary fuel source for tissues can be defind as the source of energy required for proper functioning of different tissues.

Brain consider glucose, a form of sugar to fuel cellular activities. Food provide glucose energy and through blood brain cell recieves the glucose.

Primary fuel source in resting skeletal muscle are glucose, fatty acids, amino acids that depends on the muscular activity and further participate in the citric acid cycle for oxidation to CO2.

Primary fuel of heart is fatty acids which carry important beta-oxidation equipment and serve as fuel for heart functions.

Glucose is the primary source of energy for adipose tissue which on breakdown contribute to ATP synthesis.

Liver utilises fatty acids, glucose and amino acids as primary fuel source.  When glucose is present in high quanity, it converted into fatty acids.

Hence, the correct option is a) 1:B; 2:C; 3:A; 4:B; 5:C

Which event in a star's life cycle can create heavy metals like gold, platinum, or lead?
sergejj [24]
Answer: supernova


Explanation: Massive stars, on the other hand, quickly move beyond these more light elements to create heavier elements like silicon and copper. Anything heavier than iron is created during a supernova–the star-shattering explosion at the end of a massive star's life cycle.
