Answer:
Wind Shear
Explanation:
Wind shear (or windshear) is a difference in wind speed and/or direction over a short distance in the atmosphere, also known as wind gradient. Wind shear in the atmosphere is usually classified as either vertical or horizontal.
Answer:
Mitochondria originated when an ameoba like organism engulfed an aerobic proteobacterium capable of cellular respiration.
Explanation:
Endosymbiotic Theory:
- The endosymbiotic theory explains the origin of eukaryotic cells and eukaryotic organelles, particularly the chloroplast and mitochondria.
- According to this theory, a prokaryotic ameoba like organism increased in size and gradually developed infoldings of its plasma membrane. These infoldings gradually developed into an endomembrane that enclosed the genetic material and nucleus.
- This cell then engulfed a proteobacterium capable of cellular respiration. Over time, this cell thrived as oxygen increased in the atmosphere of the Earth. The proteobacterium survived as an endosymbiont and later evolved into mitochondria.
The life-form during the Precambrian time was cyanobacteria.
