Answer:

Convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is a type of evolution of similar features and/or structures between organisms that are not phylogenetically related. This type of evolution is known to create analogous structures/organs that exhibit similar or the same functions but were not present in the last common ancestor of these taxa. An example of analogous structures (and therefore also of convergent evolution) are the wings of bats and of insects (e.g., butterflies). Conversely, divergent evolution is a type of evolution where species phylogenetically related, i.e., species that share a common ancestor, evolve and accumulate differences over time.

How does active and passive transport apply to your life

Answer:

There are two major ways that molecules can be moved across a membrane, and the distinction has to do with whether or not cell energy is used. Passive mechanisms like diffusion use no energy, while active transport requires energy to get done.

What dose the theory of evolution tell us about living things
stepan [7]

Answer:

it tells us that it is the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection

Explanation:

Natural Selection: The process where organisms have better adapted to their environment  and tend to survive and produce more offspring than those without the adaptations

With that dictionary definition we know that we develop certain characteristics in order for survival. The characteristics are developed over multiple generations. One example is that we have a part of our body that we needed before, but no longer need as we don't need to be immune to poisonous foods (or that's what our body tells us)

Where and how do hurricanes form?
Aliun [14]
Hurricanes form over the warm ocean water of the tropics. When warm moist air over the water rises, it is replaced by cooler air. The cooler air will then warm and start to rise. This cycle causes huge storm clouds to form.
