What is the problem with organizing organisms taxonomically purely based on their physical traits

Biology

masya89 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The problem with grouping organisms together taxonomically based on their physical traits is that organisms that not genetically or evolutionally similar would be grouped together. Grouping would be based entirely on superficial similarities instead of combining different features such as genetics, nutrition, the complexity of bodies, etc.</em>

Based on physical traits, for example, all flying organisms will be grouped together. Birds, flying insects, bats, etc. would be grouped together, whereas, they are quite different from one another when it comes to the complexity of bodies and other features. Even though some insects have wings and can fly like birds, insects have exoskeletons and birds do not, the body of birds is more complex than that of insects, and evolutionally, birds are more advanced than insects.

Hence, grouping organisms based on their physical traits only would be too superficial and not reflect the true relationships between organisms.

Answer:

Before life began on the planet, Earth's atmosphere was largely made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases. After photosynthesizing organisms multiplied on Earth's surface and in the oceans, much of the carbon dioxide was replaced with oxygen.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

EELG

(1) Addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a protein occurs in the Lumen of the Endopslamic Reticulum

(2) Synthesis of phosphatidylcholine occurs in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

(3) Degradation of misfolded ER protein ossurs in the Lysosome

(4) O-linked glycosylation occurs in the Golgiapparatus

Explanation:

1. The covalent attachment of a carbohydrate to a macromolecule such as proteins or lipids is known as glycosylation.

N-linked glycosylation is a very common form of glycosylation and it occurs in eukaryotes in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The addition of the first GlcNAc oligosaccharides to the asparagine residue of a proteinmos an example of N-linked glycosylation.

2. Phosphatidylcholine is synthesized through the CDP-choline pathway which occurs at the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum. Choline entering the cell is immediately phosphorylated by choline kinase, converting choline to phosphocholine.

Phosphocholine is then converted to CDP-choline by the second enzyme in the pathway, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT).

The phosphocholine moiety is then added to diacylglycerol in a reaction catalyzed by CDP-choline:1,2-diacylgylcerol cholinephosphotransferase to complete the synthesis of phosphocholine.

3. Lysosomes are the cell organelles which are responsible for the breakdown of proteins as well as other components of the cell. Misfolded proteins are identified and transported to lysosomes through chaperone-mediated autophagy, macroautophagy and endocytosis, where they are then degraded.

4. O-linked glycosylation is a form of glycosylation that occurs in eukaryotes in the Golgi apparatus.
