<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
B. They protect against oxidative damage from excessive light energy
<h3>Explanation;</h3>
- Some carotenoids seem to be function as photoprotectors.
- These compounds absorb and dissipate excessive light energy that would otherwise damage chlorophyll or interact with oxygen, forming reactive oxidative molecules that are dangerous to the cell.
Darwin's proposed mechanism for evolution is natural selection. Natural selection allows species to respond to their surroundings through time, or to become progressively excellently-suited. Natural selection is environmentally based and involves established heritable variation within a population.
They lead to changes in species over time:
- Darwin suggested species will evolve over time, new species originate from pre-existing species, and all species share a common ancestor with each other.
- In this framework each organism has its own special set of heritable i.e genetic variations from the common ancestor that have slowly developed over very longer periods of time.
- Parroted branching activities that isolate new species from a common ancestor create a multi-level tree that connects all living organisms.
B) A long time increase in the Earths Average temperature
<span>Most organisms, including humans, can't use the free gaseous form of nitrogen found in the air. We need other organisms and natural processes to "fix" nitrogen into a solid form that plants and animals can use. Most of the nitrogen that plants and animals use is made by bacteria.</span>
