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.

Doss [256]

Answer:

The reason why Dr Naskrecki thinks he suspects there are so many more than the 2,829 species they have already identified living in the park is because there are many species that has been identified in the world because humans haven’t gotten to most parts of the earth which makes it a lot undiscoverable.

Another one is that the species multiply rapidly and easily.

What stage of cellular respiration occurs after the formation of acetyl-CoA?. . A. Electron transport chain. . B. Fermentation.
Alika [10]

Answer;

D. Krebs cycle

Explanation;

-Cellular respiration is the process that releases energy by breaking down food molecules in the presence of oxygen. Cellular repiration takes place in the mitochodrion. The 3 phases of cellular respiration are Glycolysis (Fermentation), Krebs Cycle, and Electron Transport. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm.

-Glycolysis involves the break down of glucose to form two molecules of pyruvate. These molecules enter the matrix of a mitochondrion, where they start the Krebs cycle.

-Before the Krebs cycle begins, pyruvic acid, which has three carbon atoms, is split apart and combined with an enzyme known as CoA, which stands for coenzyme A. The product of this reaction is a two-carbon molecule called acetyl-CoA.
