Answer:
The P waves undergoes compression and dilation during motion in its direction of propagation. This waves reaches the station first because the P waves travels at a speed, that is much faster in comparison to the S waves. The S waves are the secondary waves and are commonly known as the shear waves.
The P waves have the ability to travel in both solid as well as in liquid, whereas the S waves can propagate only in solid region because they are absorbed at the core-mantle boundary.
Thus, the P waves will arrive the station first and the difference between the arrival of P and S waves are plotted in the graph that helps in depicting the epicenter and the amount of energy released during an earthquake.
Explanation:
Answer:
a. First Step: The sugars are broken down to simple glucose molecules and the proteins and lipids are broken down to acetyl-CoA molecules. No energy is produced in this first step.
b. Second Step: Glycolysis converts the glucose to two molecules of pyruvate. Six ATP molecules are produced in this step.
c. Third Step: Oxidation of each pyruvate produces two molecules of acetyl-CoA. Six ATP molecules are produced in this step.
d. Fourth Step: Two acetyl-CoA molecules go through the Krebs (citric acid) cycle. Twenty-four ATP molecules are produced through this process.
e. All of the above steps are part of the break down of the candy bar's macromolecules.
Explanation:
Solution:
Primitive animals are ones that have not changed dramatically over the millennia and remain very similar to their ancestors.
The first members of the human lineage lack many features that distinguish us from other primates. Although it has been a difficult quest, we are closer than ever to knowing the mother of us all. Until recently, the evolutionary events that surrounded the origin of the hominin lineage — which includes modern humans and our fossil relatives — were virtually unknown, and our phylogenetic relationship with living African apes was highly debated. Gorillas and chimpanzees were commonly regarded to be more closely related to each other due to their high degree of morphological and behavioral similarities, such as their shared mode of locomotion — knuckle-walking. But with the advent of molecular studies it has become clear that chimpanzees share a more recent common ancestor with humans, and are thus more closely related to us than they are to gorillas (e.g., Bailey 1993, Wildman et al. 2003). The similarities between the living African apes were thought to have been inherited from a common ancestor (=primitive features), implying that the earliest hominins and our last common ancestor shared with chimpanzees had features that were similar, morphologically and behaviorally, to the living African apes (Lovejoy 2009). With the discoveries of the earliest hominin species discussed below, it is now possible to critically examine these assumptions.
Answer: A) Habitat loss
Explanation: While all four options are viable, habitat loss decreases biodiversity the fastest.
