Answer:

A

Explanation:

Natural selection occurs when an environment makes organisms with certain traits more likely to survive and reproduce.

Asexual reproduction results in no genetic variation (meaning differences in traits, also called divserity). Genetic variation must be present for certain organisms to be better suited to their environment, because in its absence all organisms share the same traits. This rules out B, C, and D. I hope this helps :)

Are endocytosis and exocytosis examples of passive transport or active transport?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Yes, they are both active transport processes.

Explanation:

Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell. Both endocytosis and exocytosis are active transport processes.

Describe the importance of the inner membranes separating different regions of the mitochondrion and the chloroplast.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The thylakoid membrane is responsible for separation of different regions of the mitochondrion and the chloroplast.

This membrane is responsible for the major difference between chloroplasts and mitochondria in terms of their structure and function.

The membrane is very important in chloroplasts and it fills the role of the inner mitochondrial membrane in electron transport and the chemiosmotic generation of ATP.

The skin is richly supplied with arteriovenous anastomoses in which blood flows directly between an artery and a vein, bypassing
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Temperature control

Explanation:

Arterio-venous anastomoses (AVAs) are direct connections between small arteries and small veins. In humans they are numerous in the glabrous skin of the hands and feet.

They are very significant in body temperature control. These temperature control are under the dual control of the central nervous system and the local thermal influence. While the arteriovenous anastomoses control the skin temperature through volume changes in the superficial venous bed, the arterioles and capillaries operate by generalized dilatation which results both in increased temperature and in redness of the skin.

Explain why it is an advantage for plants to store carbohydrates as starch rather than as sugars​
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

More energy are packed into less space by starch molecules far more than glucose or sucrose yet they are able to release this energy easily, hence maximizing both storage and mobilization.

Explanation:

When plants have a period of dormancy to survive, they store their food as starch. They store enough of this energy so as to be able to restart with and to be able to maintain metabolism for the entire period of dormancy.

In addition, we know that starch is not water soluble, hence, lacks the ability to pull water into storage cells or cause irregularity in water balance. More energy are packed into less space by starch molecules far more than glucose or sucrose yet they are able to release this energy easily, hence maximizing both storage and mobilization.

Glucose is not directly transported by plants to storage. Rather, in a plant stem, the form of carbohydrate being transported is sucrose and this is because it is a non-reducing and does not react with oxygen during transport in the stem to specialized storage plastids.
