Answer:
Rafflesia arnoldii is a tropical plant with a huge blood-red flower, which emits heat and emits the smell of decomposed meat. What use are these adaptations to this plant
Explanation:
The smell is adaptation for pollination.This is because it attracts insects which carry on the process of pollination.
Its possible Endothermy characteristic is for mimicry Its releases heat to attract the pollinators- blowflies.The endothermic mechanism is well pronounced during flora development: which further buttress the fact that this is related to pollination to attract blowflies, and not to thermoregulation.
Answer:
B. retain its urine in it’s blood stream
Explanation:
Sharks are cartilaginous fishes that lives in the ocean. Oceans are always salty, hence organisms need to maintain a salt-water balance between their internal and external environment because of osmosis. Sharks are able to maintain this by ensuring that the amount of solutes in their internal environment is as much as that in their external environment.
Sharks retain a chemical contained in urine called UREA in their bloodstream to counter the osmotic effect of the salt concentration in the waters they live. This helps them maintain a concentration balance with their environment.
Answer:
Presence of papillary muscles
Explanation:
- Papillary muscles are structural components of the ventricles.
- They are attached to the cusps of the mitral and tricuspid valves through connective tissue strings known as the cordinae tendeneae (heart strings).
- These muscles prevent the prolaspse of these valves during ventricular systole.
- Although they differ in number i.e. two in left and three in right ventricle, papillary muscles are present in both ventricles.
DNA replication only happens during meiosis because the chromosome number of the species remains the same from one generation to the next, the chromosome number of germ cells must be reduced by half during meiosis. To achieve this feat, meiosis, unlike mitosis involves a single round of DNA replication followed by two rounds of cell division.
Answer:
C, D
Explanation:
The common property of all proteins is that they consist of long chains of α-amino (alpha amino) acids. The general structure of α-amino acids is shown in . The α-amino acids are so called because the α-carbon atom in the molecule carries an amino group (―NH2); the α-carbon atom also carries a carboxyl group (―COOH).
