Biology
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Primordial organisms did not require oxygen for respiration as is the case with most organisms case today. These organisms were and are still mainly anaerobic. They main form of cellular respiration is glycolysis that does not utilize oxygen. Since other organisms evolved from the primordial cells, it is deduced that the early atmosphere was not mainly composed of oxygen but mainly carbon dioxide.

In today’s aerobic cells oxygen is utilized in the Krebs cycle as a proton acceptor making cellular respiration even more efficient in the production of energy. Remember that, utlimately, organisms evolve to fit into their environment.

Kay [80]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Tropical rain forest are one of the important biomes of the world that is characterized by a short or no dry season and a precipitation of overall 60 mm each month. They are also known as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest. If we talk about location, they mostly are found between  fall between the Tropic of Cancer and the Capricorn since they lie near to equator and they receive sufficient amount of sunshine and rain.

Due to their location near the equators, they receive greater amount of sunshine than other biomes and when sunshine is greater the rate of water evaporation is also greater that results in more rainfall.


Hope it help!

Which of these is a part of good dental hygiene?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Yearly dental visits are a part of good dental hygiene because the dentist will check for cavities, fix them, clean your teeth very thoroughly (or whitening treatment), and check the progress and movement of your teeth. They can also recommend when dental surgery is necessary, for instance, if you have extra teeth that can be removed or when your wisdom teeth are coming in. Hope this helps! :)
