The aerodynamic shape and lightness of the blue shark body allow it
to move “elegantly” across the oceans. It exhibits countershading like
many other sharks. The upper part is an indigo blue tone while the
ventral and the sides are white.
It has a long caudal heterocercal fin. The second dorsal fin measures
almost half the size of the first and its pectoral fins are unusually
long compared to other sharks. Its eyes are large, its teeth are
triangular, and it has a conical snout.
It reaches a length ranging from 3.8 to 4 meters and weighs about 240
kilograms. This species presents slight sexual dimorphism since the
female tends to measure little more than 1 meter in comparison with the
male.
Answer:
advantages of sexual reproduction:
it produces variation in the offspring
the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage
a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population
disadvantages of sexual reproduction:
time and energy are needed to find a mate
it is not possible for an isolated individual
advantages of asexual reproduction
the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable
only one parent is needed
it is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate
Disadvantages of asexual reproduction
it does not lead to variation in a population
the species may only be suited to one habitat
disease may affect all the individuals in a population

Answer:
Explanation:
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration (aerobic) are both metabolic processes that occur in specialized organnelles of living cells. These two processes are so unique to one another in the sense that one uses the product of the other as a reactant and vice versa.
Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction that occurs in the Chloroplast of autotrophs in which captured energy from sun is used to synthesize organic food (glucose) by combining carbondioxide (CO2) and water. Oxygen is released in this photosynthetic process.
6CO2 + 6H20 --------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Aerobic cellular respiration, on the other hand, is a catabolic process undergone by every aerobic living cell (in the mitochondria) in which glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (energy) releasing CO2 and water (H2O) in the process.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------> 6C02 + 6H2O
One spectacular difference is that photosynthesis uses solar energy (from sun) while aerobic cellular respiration uses chemical energy to power the process.
