The theory of common descent states that all living organisms are descendants of a single ancestor. Phylogenetic trees and cladograms are often used to hypothesize the evolution of various organisms and shared common descent.

Which organs produces and secretes enzymes that are essential for proper digestion?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

An enzyme refers to a kind of protein found inside a cell. The enzymes result in the chemical reactions within the body. The function to accelerate the rate of chemical reaction in order to support life. The enzymes in the body assist in performing very essential functions. These comprise eradicating toxins, building muscle, and dissociating particles of food at the time of digestion.  

Enzymes are needed for performing the proper function of the digestive system. Digestive enzymes are primarily produced in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine. However, even salivary glands generate digestive enzymes in order to dissociate the molecules of food at the time of chewing.  

There are three prime kinds of digestive enzymes, which are classified on the basis of the reactions they catalyze. These are protease, amylase, and lipase.

To trace our maternal lineage, we observe mutations that have accumulated in our mitochondrial dna (mtdna). in the dna isolation
Sergio [31]
In the coding region, natural selection tends to eliminate all of the mutations because of the high importance these regions have. The coding region contains genes that synthesize proteins and the changes in the DNA sequence can have devastating effects on the cell. Therefore, there are very few differences in the sequences of coding regions that can help us trace the lineage.
On the other hand, in the non-coding regions, the mutations often accumulate because they have little effect on the cell and the adaptive value of the organism. This enables us to trace up the lineage by comparing the sequences and seeing the differences in the sequences.

Why must the bonds of these molecules be broken before anything else happens?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Synthesis releases energy because the molecules bond to form a stable configuration and therefore give up energy. The bonded molecules have a lower energy level than free molecules and are held in the new bond.

Explanation:

Chemical reactions make and break the chemical bonds between molecules, resulting in new materials as the products of the chemical reaction. Chemical reactions can occur spontaneously or require an outside trigger such as an input of energy. Breaking chemical bonds absorbs energy, while making new bonds releases energy, with the overall chemical reaction being endothermic or exothermic.

The biconcave shape of erythrocytes is a result of __________
weeeeeb [17]
<span>The answer would be: peripheral proteins anchored to the inner surface of their plasma membrane

Red blood cells have ankyrin and spectrin protein in their membrane that responsible for their biconcave shape. The shape itself is beneficial because it allows a larger surface area to accommodate gas exchange. It also allows the red blood cells to be squeezed into the narrow capillary blood vessels.</span>
