During a trip to the Galapagos Islands, which observation led Charles Darwin to suspect that organisms change over time? Island
Triss [41]

Answer:

Island finches did not have beaks of the same size and shape

Explanation:

This is  the evidence  of variation,  and therefore proof that  the finches were able to survive  the  selective pressure  by adapting their beaks to different feeds. Therefore finches that were able to adapt  adjusted their beak shapes to the selecting pressure 'feeds' in the environment,  and are naturally selected, and therefore adapted and evolved with time .While those without the surviving  beaks lost out.

Thus  changes in selection pressure, necessitated corresponding  change in the beaks shape  for adaption to survive( due to variation, ) and therefore natural selection   for evolution

How can materials exit a cell by active transport
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: Some substances pass through small holes in the surface cell membrane. This is called diffusion and does not require the cell to expend energy. Oxygen gets into a cell and carbon dioxide (the product of respiration reactions) leaves it this way. ... small particles (ions or molecules) diffuse more quickly than large ones.

In which stage of the Calvin cycle does the plant cell produce energy for storage?
Ludmilka [50]
I believe the answer is the Regeneration stage.
A this stage of the Calvin Cycle, only one of the G3P molecules leaves the cycle and is sent to the cytoplasm to contribute to the formation of other compounds needed by the plant. Because the G3P exported from the chloroplast has three carbon atoms, it takes three "turns" of the Calvin cycle to fix enough net carbon to export one G3P. Each turn makes two G3Ps, therefore three turns make six G3Ps.

[GT.03]A majority of scientists worldwide agree with a new theory of evolution proposed by a group of students. The theory will
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Accepted.

Explanation:

As mentioned in the question that a new theory is agreed upon by a vast majority of scientists worldwide. Theory can simply be considered as a set  accepted propositions  or facts that try to provide an explanation of causes behind a certain phenomenon.

In this case, if vast majority of the scientists believe a particular theory, it is likely to be accepted and can lead to formulation of a scientific law in future.

For example: Mendel's theory of segregation and independent assortment were presented but many scientists did not believe it in start, it took a long time for scientists to accept the theory and ultimately when it was transformed into scientific theory.

Hope it helps!
