Answer:

"Or Have Witnessed On The News" Hurricane Katrina was a weather event, that created huge ecological disturbances. The hurricane caused damage to 5 million acres of land, which included coastal forests where many animals called home. The storm killed thousands of humans and animals, and also sent potential invasive species to new environments.  The hurricane caused 10 coastal bird species to decline, the storm also caused disturbances in the aquatic wildlife with over 9 million fish being killed offshore due to the hurricane, the dolphins were also heavily impacted with many being injured in the storm, but most were rescued. The hurricane also caused freshwater overflood, it sent massive amounts of freshwater into coastal bays and estuaries which shifted the balance between salt water and fresh water.

Vertebrate span across a diverse array of life on earth today. Fish are the first to evolve and amphibians still live with stron
poizon [28]

Answer:

Fossil evidence shows that vertebrates made the transition from water to land during the <u>DEVONIAN</u> period.

<u>SALAMANDERS</u> are amphibians that most closely resemble early tetrapods in body form with a long tail and 4 limbs of similar length.

A distinctive characteristic of mammals that is not observed in other vertebrates is <u>ENDOTHERMY</u>.

By the end of the <u>CAMBRIAN </u>period, all major animal lineages were present in the seas due to a great adaptive radiation of animals.

The vertebrate lung first appeared in <u>AMPHIBIANS</u>

Explanation:

Vertebrates started to transition from water to land later in the Devonian period. The vertebrates had to adjust to living on land such as withstanding gravity, breathing in air, adjusting senses to living on land than on water, and significant water loss due to the new environment. This was a big step in the realm of evolution because vertebrates were now able to thrive because they are no longer limited to the resources and space of water.

Salamaders are said to have not evolved much and have some characteristics that resemble early tetrapods. Regeneration of limbs is one of the salamanders unique capability which early tetrapods possessed.

Amphibians are ectotherms, which means they get their energy outside their body or their source of heat would be the heat from the environment. Amphibians and reptiles are ectotherms, and mammals are endotherms. Endotherms can generate heat internally.

The Cambrian period marks the Cambrian Explosion. According to fossil records modern organisms evolved rapidly and soon after split into different phyla due to adaptive radiation as a result of the extinction of dinosaurs.

The evolution of lungs is one of the most important changes in vertebrates which allowed early amphibians of water to move to land. It enabled them to breath air.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

C. primary cell wall → plasma membrane → cytoplasm → vacuole.

Explanation:

Every molecule or particle which enters into a cell, it must pass through several cellular structure at different level means it also depends on the type of molecule like size, shape, and nature (characteristics). On the surface of root cell, potassium ion pass through the primary cell wall which is most outer layer of plant cell, then it passes the second layer called plasma membrane, in the plasma membrane cytoplasm is present and when potassium ion reaches the cytoplasm then it will enter into the vacuole present in cytoplasm.
