Answer: C. scorpions have changed as a result of natural selection

Explanation:

The text tells us that scorpions today are now smaller than they were in the past. This means that the scorpions have changed since then i.e. they have evolved.

The primary reason for evolution is natural selection which refers to a situation whereby only the organisms that are better adapted in their species survive.

The conclusion that can be drawn from this research therefore is that we have smaller scorpions today because they stood a better chance of survival than the larger ones and so survived whilst the larger ones died out.

What is not part of the endomembrane system?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

<u>Peroxisome</u> is not the part of endomembrane system

(<u>Mitochondria</u> and <u>Chloroplasts</u> are also not included in the endomembrane system)

Explanation:.

The endomembrane system is composed of the different membranes which are suspended in the cytoplasm within a eukaryotic cell. They include :

1) Nuclear membrane

2) Endoplasmic reticulum

3)Golgi apparatus

4) Lysosomes

5) Vesicles

6) Endosomes

These membranes divide the cell into functional and structural components.

<u>Peroxisomes</u> are also covered with membranes but they are not considered as the part of endomembrane system as <u>they don't recieve vesicles from Golgi apparatus.</u>

Similarly the membranes of mitochondira and the chloroplasts also are not included in the endomembrane system because their functions are not coordinated with the organelles involved in the endomembrane system.
