Answer:

2 answers

Explanation:

-Evolution is a gradual change in the inherited traits of a population over many generations. Natural selection is a mechanism where the members of a population best suited to their environment have the best chance of surviving to pass on their genes.

- Evolution is the precessions by which population changed over time whereas natural selection is the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals do

How many glucose molecules would be produced if 24 carbon dioxide and 24 water molecules were used in photosynthesis
almond37 [142]
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants make their own food using light energy from sunlight in the leaves of the plants. The equation of photosynthesis states that the combination of carbon dioxide, water, and light energy produces a carbohydrate (glucose) and oxygen.
6CO2 + 6H2O +light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2. 
From the equation, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water produces one molecule of glucose.
Therefore, 24 molecules of carbon dioxide and 24 molecules of water would produce or yield 4 molecules of glucose.

How do most fossils form? Be sure to explain your answer.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer and Explanation:

Fossils can be formed in a variety of ways. First and foremost, organisms that possess bones (or shells) are the best candidates for fossilization because these structures commonly remain in fossilizing substances such as mud.

The most preserved fossils come from animals that die in aquatic environments or in environments that have a high level of humidity. This occurs because the animal gets buried in a sediment like mud, leading to the decomposition of soft structures and the fossilization of hard structures, such as bones. As layers of sediment are added, the dead body of the organism becomes a fossil.

Also, animals can leave well-preserved fossils during volcanic eruptions when they get trapped in hot ash flows. In addition, this could also occur in tundra ecosystems when animals get trapped in ice, leaving a well-preserved fossil inside. Moreover, plants are also fossilized, this generally takes place in sediments such as coal.

Finally, paleontologists are able to find the fossils once they become exposed thanks to a process called erosion.

1. The St. Lucie River drains Lake Okeechobee into the Atlantic Ocean.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The St Lucie canal serves as an outlet of drainage for the Okeechobee Lake through the St Lucie River and out to the Atlantic Ocean.

Explanation:

The St. Lucie River is an estuary in Florida, in the United States. It was basically a freshwater system before an inlet was dug to provide access directly to the Atlantic Ocean.

Lake Okeechobee is the second largest freshwater lake in the United States. Water flows into the lake from various sources with Kissimmee River being the major source.

Because of the high levels of water in Lake Okeechobee, the St. Lucie canal was constructed in the 1920s. The St. Lucie canal provides a good outlet from the Okeechobee lake, through the St. Lucie River and out to the Atlantic Ocean.
