Explanation:
As tectonic plates drift due to the convection currents of the mantle below, so does the climate on the tectonic plates. This is because the drift causes the continents to glide across latitudes. Different latitudes have different climatic conditions associated with them. An example is an equatorial climate in the equator, the subtropical climate in the mid-latitudes and polar climate in the polar region.
Therefore, even though this drift is happening very slowly over millions of years, the plant and animal species in these continental also slowly adapt to the changing climatic condition in their environment associated with these continental drifts.
C.The unique role the species plays in an ecosystem .
Answer:
<em>This is an example of natural selection (adaptation).</em>
Explanation:
Natural selection tends to favor those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment.
As tortoises having flat shell and long neck were better adapted to live in barren area, hence through natural selection those organisms were favored in such an ecosystem.
As tortoises that lived on the vegetative lands were more adapted to live in such an ecosystem, hence through natural ecosystem these organisms were favored and increased in numbers.
Answer:
IgM, IgA, IgE, IgD and IgG
Explanation:
IgM functions in the initial response to offence.
IgA is important for protection of mucus membranes such as in saliva, sweat, tears and gastric fluid.
IgE is active during allergic reactions and defense against infections.
IgD is found on the surface of lymphocytes and is activated upon contact with antigens.
IgG forms part of the secondary response to antigen and is also responsible for newborn protection.
Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.
The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.
Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.
