Answer: Mutation can affect an organism by resulting to a change in the number and structure of chromosomes (chromosomal mutation). A typical example of this type of mutation is Down's syndrome where the individual contains 47 instead of 46 chromosomes.

Mutation can also result to a change in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule in a particular region of a chromosome(Gene mutation) an example of genetic mutation is sickle cell anemia

Anyone know about cellular respiration? Please help me label, 60 points!
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Mitochondria- glycolysis

ATP synthase- converts ADP to ATP

Inner membrane- electron transport chain

Matrix- krebs cycle

Explanation:

The mitochondria forms the fundamental site for glycolysis. The glucose is broken down enzymatically to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP. The krebs cycle is the first stage of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. ATP synthase is an enzyme that generates ATP during the process of cellular respiration. ATP synthase forms ATP from ADP and an inorganic phosphate (Pi) through oxidative phosphorylation. The mitochondrial inner membrane is the site of the electron transport chain, an important step in aerobic respiration.  Energy obtained through the transfer of electrons down the ETC is used to pump protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical proton gradient generating ATP.

Which of the following would be a good adaptation for an organism that lives in the intertidal zone?
barxatty [35]

The right answer is A.

The foreshore, also called intertidal zone, is the tidal zone of the tides on the coast. The alternation of the tides which discover more or less the substrate according to the phases of the Moon determines the conditions of humidity, salinity and temperature of the foreshore.

These variations lead to a vertical ecological structuring of the foreshore in so-called supralittoral, mediolittoral and infralittoral stages. The floristic and faunistic stands of these stages are distinct, according to the requirements of organisms in water, salinity and temperature. Therefore it would be beneficial for organisms living in this period that it can live without depending on the water present in their environment since the presence of the latter is inconstant.

The foreshore is divided into several floors that correspond to different ecological conditions. These coastal stages are defined by the duration of their emergence and therefore by the level of the different tides.
