Remnant of a structure that may have had an important function in a species' ancestors, but has no clear function in the modern species.
A substance that provides nourishment essential for the maintenance of life and for growth.
If you do not gain enough nutrients, a nutritional deficiency occurs (when the body doesn't absorb or get from food the necessary amount of a nutrient). Deficiencies can lead to a variety of health problems. These can include digestion problems, skin disorders, stunted or defective bone growth, and even dementia.
Answer:
The research shows that for the cortex to evolve to be large, primates need a longer pregnancy, whereas a longer childhood is needed for a larger cerebellum to evolve. This means it is critical for infants to have the right environment to develop crucial skills.
Explanation:
<span>The trick here is to understand the definition of each of the cellular transport or function mechanisms listed. These are some interesting (and strange) analogies!
Facilitated Diffusion
This is when a mechanism assists in diffusing (spreading) some material into an environment. The dog on the wagon going through a spring loaded door would shoot it out into the environment. This is an odd analogy but Point 3 would be the one.
Active Transport
Is when energy is expended to transport molecules somewhere against a concentration gradient or some other barrier. Examples include transporting molecules across a cell wall. The best analogy is the dog being dragged into a bathtub (Point 1).
Phagocytosis
This is when a larger cell consumes a molecule often like eating. This matches to point 2 - the child eating the doughnut.
Passive Diffusion
Is when a concentration of molecules naturally diffuse into an environment. This suits point 5 - the crowded room full of people.
Pinocytosis
Is the budding of cell membranes to consume liquid in the surrounding environment. I guess a woman drinking tea is the closest analogy listed (Point 4).</span>
Answer:The Cycad tree is the sporophyte.They have flagellated sperm.
Explanation:
During pollination, the contents of the megaspore divide to form many–celled gamateophyte called the endosperm and archegonium. There is a micropyle opening with a sticky fluid, which traps the wind-borne male gametophyte (microspores) which,at this time is made up of prothallus cell;an antheridial cell and a large tube cell. The trapped microspore is sucked into the archegonia chamber. Antherizoids are released, but only one penetrates each oospore and fuses with the female nucleus. The zygote is formed in the ovule and the later develops into seed.The diploid seed germinates into a new sporophyte plant and the life cycle begins again. Examples of cycad include Cycas circinalis ,Cycas celebrical and Cycas revoluta
