This is the process of dividing things into groups according to shared characteristics.

Populations evolve for many reasons. Suppose there is a small population of birds that have either brown chest feathers or yello

creativ13 [48]

Answer/Explanation:

A. Birds with yellow chest feathers attract more mates and leave more offspring.

Mechanism: The mechanism that is involved in this event is imply that of natural selection. In this event, birds with yellow chest feathers have a greater fitness they attract more mates and leave behind more offspring, as they are selected for by natural selection.

Effect on the gene pool: Since birds of yellow chest feathers have greater fitness, the frequency of yellow feather birds would increase, since more offspring with yellow chest feathers would be produced more than the other bird having the other feather color.

B. A hurricane kills many birds at random.

Mechanism: The mechanism that occurs in this event is simply that of genetic drift. Here, a random change has occurred, which can simply be referred to as the bottle neck effect. Following the disaster, the population size of the bird reduces thereby increasing the chance of allele frequency of the population to change. Genetic drift is occurs more in a small population.

Effect on the gene pool: Allele frequency would change, but not predictably. In other words, since individuals left are chosen by random, and no real idea of which traits would have the highest fitness after the event, we cannot really tell which the pattern of change the allele frequency would take, but we are certain there would be a change in allele frequency.

C. A conservation group releases several new birds to the area, to repopulate the birds. The new birds are predominantly brown feathered.

Mechanism: This event can be described as gene flow, as new members with mostly brown feather are introduced into the population which would eventually bring a change in the gene pool.

Effect on the gene pool: The frequency of brown feather allele will increase. Bearing in mind that the allele frequency of brown feather allele and yellow feather allele is approximately equal, an introduction of new set of birds having mostly brown feathers would definitely bring about a change in the gene pool, leading to more brown feather allele. Hence, frequency of brown feather allele will increase.

Bob, a nutritionist who works for the university medical center, has been asked to prepare special diets for two patients, susan

abruzzese [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Possibly, you forgot to attach the table with the contents of each food. Therefore, I calculated the task with similar values.

1. Assume you have Food A, B, and C. Each has certain amount of Calcium, Iron, and Vit C.

Let's designate: Calcium → X oz , Iron → Y oz, vit C → Z oz

2. Assume you have following amount of Calcium in each food:

Food A = 30 mg/oz
Food B = 25 mg/oz
Food C = 20 mg/oz

3. Assume you have following amount of Iron in each food:

Food A = 1 mg/oz
Food B = 1 mg/oz
Food C = 2 mg/oz

4. Assume you have following amount of vit C in each food:

Food A = 2 mg/oz
Food B = 5 mg/oz
Food C = 4 mg/oz

Calculations:

→ You have 3 different food and each has Calcium in it. You need exactly 320mg of Calcium per day. Therefore, each food would comprise certain proportion of daily Calcium intake. We can come up with equation: 30X+25Y+20Z = 390 mg

Similarly, for iron and vitamin C, the next equations could be used:

X+Y+2Z=17 - Iron

2X+5Y+4Z=42 - Vit C

→ Now you have a system of equations:

30X+25Y+20Z = 390 (1)

X+Y+2Z=17 (2)

2X+5Y+4Z=42 (3)

→ Look for similarities! (1) and (3) seem to be similar. We can multiply the (3) by -5 to obtain: -10X-25Y-20Z=-210. We add the (1) and modified (3) equations.

30X+25Y+20Z = 390

-10X-25Y-20Z=-210

__________________

20X+0+0=180

20X=180

→ X=9 (oz of Calcium)

→ Now, we can put x=9 into equations above to ease our job:

270+25Y+20Z=390 → 25Y+20Z=390-270=120

9+Y+Z=17 → Y+2Z=17-9=8

18+5Y+4Z=42 → 5Y+4Z=42-18=24

→ Similarly, we can use Eq-s (2) and (3). We can multiply the (2) by -5 to obtain: -5Y-10Z=-40. We add the (3) and modified (2) equations.

-5Y-10Z=-40

5Y+4Z=24

__________________

-6Z=-24

Z=4

→ Z=4 (oz of vit C)

→ Now, we can take X+Y+Z=17 (2) and just put in known values(X=9 and Z=4) to obtain Y:

9+Y+4=17

→ Y=17-9-4=4 (oz of Iron)

That's all! So, if you have table values, you can just re-write the equations and doing it stepwise, as it is shown here, you can manage to calculate every value you need :)

Elizabeth is getting ready to run a marathon. She's hoping that the ATP in her body is good for long-term energy storage for the

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Her Thinking is wrong because ATP is not a long term Energy Storage.

Explanation:

We need energy to perform every single task of everyday life. This energy is obtained from the food we eat. There are three main sources of energy in our food.

1. Carbohydrates

2. Lipids

3. Proteins

Carbohydrates are hydrolyzed into glucose upon breakdown and this glucose is used as energy by most of the cells. While Lipids are more complex molecules and usually used to store energy to be used later. Proteins help in muscle building and provide essential amino acid to the body.

There are two ways to store energy, Long term storage and short term storage. The ATP is obtained by breaking down the large molecules and considered as short term energy as it last for only few seconds. While the long term energy is obtained from lipids hydrolysis.
